I'm telling you ... the old addage, "No news is good news" ... is a bunch of CRUD! I'm not buying it. Actually, no news means nothing to report ... but that doesn't make it GOOD. TRUST ME!! When there is GOOD news to report, I will be SHARING IT on here. I've been kind of quiet this week about it ... but that's really just because there is NO news.
More details: Things are still hopeful for i3 to get new funding ... thus Steve would continue doing the same job (but go back to having pay). It would also mean he'd get his backpay which would be ideal. But, he is still applying for other jobs and has started working with a local recruiter this week. As for funding for i3, things are VERY hopeful (yes, I've added the VERY) but still no guarantees. The potential investor in Toronto agreed to the preliminary terms and is now doing "due diligence" to determine if he really wants to/can/will invest. Another contact in California that was really excited about the technology is really liking the idea of the business opportunity as well, so he is a potential investor/buy-out possibility. But they haven't met with him yet (hopefully this week) so we don't know how serious he is. Either of those could mean income again, including back pay, but IF either one goes through, they (with my best guesses) are probably several more more weeks best case ... couple months worst case before anything happens. There is also a potential "bridge funding" deal that would happen in the next week or two and would at least mean a paycheck for a month (but not back pay right away). So ... no news means ... NOTHING really to report. Lots of speculation. Lots of "if". Lots of hopeful. But no paycheck yet!
A Jessica story! The innocence of a 4 year old. Our girls REALLY want to go to Disneyland/World. They still don't know we have a trip planned in Dec (which is good because if we don't have income by then, we will probably have to cancel). Anyway, the girls often help me by putting stamps on my postcards and letters. Most months they do 200-300 between them before they lose focus/get bored and quit. But this month, they did over 900 stamps! That means $9 for their Disney jar and $9 more for their piggy banks (split between them - based on how many they did). So a few days after they had earned that $9, Jessica asked me when we were going to get to go. I told her I didn't know but that daddy had to get his job back first so we'd have money. The next day, when she said the blessing on the food at lunch time, as part of her prayer she said "Bless daddy that he will get his job back (a pause for about 2 seconds) so we can go to Disneyland." It was so cute. It was like she was really debating about whether she should pray for that or not but in the end she decided it was imporptant. So, now the girls all pray that daddy will get his job back so we can go to Disneyland. I pray that Steve will get his job back ... but not just for DisneyWorld. I pray it will happen so that we will be able to pay the bills and continue providing for our family and so Steve and I won't have to stress so much. But I also pray that it will happen so that my little girls will know that prayers are answered, and so we can make their dream of going to DisneyWorld come true and reward them for their hardwork these past few months. They've earned close to $100 in their Disney jar since July by doing chores (ranging from .01-.25 a chore), helping me with stamps and selling an ocassional snow cone.
Thanks for the continued prayers and love!! We really appreciate it. Its been almost a month now and the emotions have been roller coaster all over the place. I had another "breakdown" yesterday ... its just tough not knowing and things being so out of my control. I don't like to not be able to PLAN... but I'm trying to just take it a day at a time. I'm glad Steve is so patient with me, all my questions and emotions.
