My little man is on his way. I can't wait to meet him. I am looking forward to being able to spend lots of time with this precious child as I am leaving the Army. I am nervous about my transition. I'm trying to get a job as a substitute teacher but also considering some other alternatives. I want to be able to do something that will give me a maximum amount of time with the baby but bring some money into the house. I'm also considering working with some places doing referals. The place we are renting from gave me information on it. I'm also thingking about paper routes. I had a friend who had one in AK. It took her 1-2 hours depending on road conditions, she made an extra 400.00 every two weeks. She made deliveries to stores and whatnot, not individual homes like kids do. I figure its worth looking into. Routes are usually done by 4 or 5 am so i could do it before Chris leaves for pt, if iI need to I could take the baby with me.
I guess we'll see how it goes. I've been thinking about weekend job as well. Chris would be home with the baby so I know he would be in good hands. I guess we'll see how it goes.
I start the processing to seperate on Tuesday. Part of me is sad to go, part of me is anxious. I enjoyed training I was able to do, but I didn't enjoy doing nothing but paperwork. The army is separating me becuase I can't currently fulfuil requirments for a family care plan. (FCP is only required for service members who are either single or both parents are military) That is a plan for long and short term care for the child should one or both parents be deployed, sent to the field, or need to remain at work for long perious of time. There is no way I could leave my child with a complete stranger for two years, should we both be activated, and there is no family who could adequately care for him. So I'm leaving.
Good bye Army, Hello baby
