So the life stories are now complete and its only a matter of taking them to DHS on Monday to have our Police Checks done as well. Can’t wait to have it done with but have started to stress a bit about having to have 12 months off work. Oh don’t get me wrong, can’t wait to have 12 months off work but can we afford it? That’s another question really. Everyone keeps telling me that we will be fine but I can’t see it. I might have to work from home doing something little to at least bring in some funds but will have to keep it on the quiet as with DHS, no work is NO WORK in any way, shape or form. It’s funny really, I had been sick the start of this week with bad sinus problems but by Wednesday I had started to feel better, I knew that because that’s when my brain goes into overdrive and I start over thinking everything. Spreadsheets are even born on this day of overthinking.
Also I applied for a position at our local council in the Local Laws department and I have an interview on Monday. I don’t think I will get it but will give it a good try. I think that their paid adoption leave has got to be better than a private organisation. Its funny, I used to think about maternity leave policies, now I wonder about their adoption leave, does that mean a switch has been flicked in my brain? That’s also got to be a good, positive thing.
D is spending money like its going out of fashion, he can’t see that paying his car loan is more important than buying guitar pickups! Just because we got our tax’s back, stupid me told him while he still had bids on stuff on eBay, so now they have been upped. I could kill him.
Now I have to also find a gentle way of getting our references to finish the references so that we can start to WAIT. My sister in-law hasn’t even started, my niece is 3/4 of the way through, my friend C is done and sent back and her mother S, well I don’t know where she’s at with hers but I;m sure C has given her a good reminder if it hasn’t been done.
