Well, sort of. H got the job! The guy would have been crazy not to hire him. He wouldn't find anyone else with H's expertise in this specific area. We just got a call while we were at my parent's house last night so he didn't answer it because they don't know too much yet. We listened to the message on the way home. So H is calling him this morning to get details on salary, timeline for moving, etc. Unless it is just too little money then I'm strongly encouraging H to take it. We will be sad to move but it is a new adventure for us and I think now is a great time. H obviously isn't having much luck with the job search so this could give him very good skills. It would be temporary but I would also get to stay home for a little while at least.
I teach a biology class that has an external assessment at the end of the year and they are always looking for graders so I applied. They send you test papers from all around the world and you score them and get paid. It wouldn't be a ton of money but could probably cover car payments for the year and it is all at home and only 2 months out of the year. I'm also going to look into tutoring or subbing one day a week. Again, not much money but a little.
One down side is the cost of living out there. Housing is really the only difference so we will probably only be able to afford a 2 bedroom. So a couple of questions for you:
For those of you that have kids share rooms, how do you do it? What is the best method to get as much sleep as possible?
Also, since money will be tight, I need some of your best budget tips.
Also, thanks for letting me talk about this here. I can't really share too much with people IRL yet and you guys can ignore me easily if you want to. But you are also very good at giving support and advice. I've never moved before, especially not with two kids. I don't know how I'm going to do it but I know that I will.
