Thanks sweetie.......................................I'M GOING HOME NOW


See ya'll 2morrow:hello:
 
Hey Stacey, sorry I haven't been around much except for in my new journal. I've been so busy trying to learn ALL about my bosses new telephone that she just decided she had to have.

I'm so happy for you sweetie. I can't wait to hear the news that you're pregnant! I think after this last week (starting 5 days late), I'm about ready to cry and about ready to quit tryin'.
:headbang:
Much love babe!!

It's pretty amazing how different things are here in Sweden. Here the company is obligated by LAW to pay for the time you need to take off because of the baby, which is usually a little over a year. It can be divided so the husband takes it or part of it too.. I should definately be in Sweden when I have babies :rolleyes:

And honey, I don't want the money back. I'll keep on sending them if you try to pay me back :p

Have a great day :kiss:
 
Hi Stacey,
I am a huge lurker and follow most of the journals on here everyday. I am going to start trying to get pregnant this month as well. I'll be interested to follow along your journal to see what you're eating and what exercises you're going to be doing! :cool:
Who knows, maybe I'll even start a journal myself.:o
Regarding time off after the baby, you should move to Canada. We get a year off. The government pays us 55% of our pay, and I'm lucky enough to work for a company that tops it up to 80%!

Best of luck on your baby-making!!!:thumb:
 
Umm...Stacey...when I checked my email this am, it said I had been issued a refund......I guess you didn't believe my story that I was gonna have my paypal account refuse?
 
I gotta run to a mtg in a min but...

Yes, you are entitles to 6 weeks off from work and they have to have the same or equivalent job waiting for you when you get back.

Most companies do NOT pay you for the time off. The money you would get comes through Short Term Disability (STD) and pays 66 2/3 % of your regular pay.

If you are not getting benefits through your company then you probably waived the coverage and didn't realize it.

Hey Jenny!! Yes Stay in Sweden when you have your babies!!! This is just not fair!:( But oh well. We are going to save all of our tax money we get back for when I'm off with a baby.

Girl, I really want to send your money back to you, please let me!!! :)
 
It's like that here in Canada as well ... it seems like it will be a real struggle for ya financially Stacey if you don't get paid time off. :( That is something to really consider.

Thanks for the Info. Butterfly. See our company told me when they made the plan up a year ago that we donot have maternity--- I asked them back then... and thats all. I will check into the Short Term Disabilty though. hmmm?

I get all benefits except Insurance. However there's not much more here, we had 401k and they got rid of it--- this is a pretty shitty company to work for...
Just remember guys- I never wanted to work here. The company I have been with since I was 17 (with great benefits,etc...) merged into this company 2 years ago--but things were final this past summer.

Hey Nt!

Well I will save all of my vacation time (as much as I can at least)-- Also we are getting back 3200 from taxes-- and we are paying off gallery furntiture-- (which is not even 1000) then the rest We are putting in a baby savings account=and we said yesterday that will be the money for when I'm off for a few weeks. I do not plan on being off the full 6 weeks anyway.
I think I will take 4weeks off--unless I'm in pain or something.

I was only going to take 2 weeks off--but now have decided on 4. :)

Hey Daisy! Thanks for visiting my journal. I will be starting a new one soon. :) Sounds like your at an awesome Job!!!
Good luck to you sweetie!!! :)
 
Wow ... do you have help for the baby once you're back at work? 4 weeks seem awfully short time to adjust to having a baby.
 
My Mom will be helping me a lot!!! Also- Depending on when I have the baby--like say I don't have one till May--then my mother will be off all summer---soo that would work out great. :) But I just have to wait and see. Matt would be with it till 1pm everyday--then I would get home at 5:45---
There are a lot of stay at home moms on my street who babysit--so I am going to start talking with them soon. I am not putting my baby in daycare. :)

My mom also MIGHT retire--depending on money situations --she maybe able to. :)

Matt would be with the baby ... :)

To let someone other than a mother or very close relative raise your child while you're at work, you'd better get to know them real well. Because whatever values they instill in their children could have some effect on your child.
 
Stacey.....I'm hungry for a bagel sandwich.

LoL-- I know Nt-- I have keep saying BABY and not IT

Yes you are very right about that... I would only leave my baby with someone I know very VERY well--OR my mom!:)
 
I have until Saturday. But I don't think the bagel would look good in the food journal. Wendy's salad for lunch.

Oh...Craig likes babies. We can have him sit while we (me, you and Ann) go shop. :D
 
I love those Wendy's salads!! Yum! Just then line at that wendys by Target is HORRIBLE when I drive by :(

I had a bagel yesterday:shhh:

awww cool- we have a babysitter--haha
 
Hey did you guys hear that Fear Factor is holding open auditions Friday night at some club here in Houston???
 
ohh cool--nope I didn't hear that--but that is neat!! :)
 
I saw that Ann! I couldn't eat the yucky stuff....I would :barf:.
 
Gross me too-- I never ever watch that show.

I hate turning down co-workers for lunch--but I do it wayyyyyy too much--they pick on me here. I save my money & bring my lunch-- and today they gave me hell. Whatever.
She goes "YOU ARE GOING TOMORROW-IF I have to pay"

I don't want her to pay for my lunch, she paid the last time. Seeesh--- annoying.. I just dont' wanna go with them- I like to GET AWAY FROM WORK-Not eat With Work..

I'm such a bitch

and they want me to go to happy hour tomorrow-- (I never do) And they go "we are telling you today, so that tomorrow you can drop your dog off at your moms before work, and you won't worry about him"

Geez--I think I'm gonna say I forgot--sorry -- I'm just not a drinker (maybe on occasions-- once or twice a month--but hardly ever)

How do I get out of all this??? :(
 
I wouldn't eat that stuff either... but I was going to see if John was interested :evil:
