Monte's job he got about a year ago, turned out to be a total disaster. We just kept having hope and thinking things would be getting better, but they never did. I won't go into details about all that went on there (and there was A LOT) but Monte was made lots of promises by his boss, only to have him not carry through on a single one. Monte's health was really deteriorating due to all the stress, his Crohn's Disease came out of remission this past month, and he lost weight (which is not good at all for him). He was SO unhappy there, and it turns out he was making a little more money at his old job. He quit his old job (which he loved) because his new boss promised him a totally different salary.
So after lots of discussions between us and prayers, he decided to call his old boss up. He told him that they weren't normally in the process of hiring people back, but that they would be glad to have Monte back. So now he has a new (old) job! Once again he gets to have his office in our home, which means he'll be around a lot more. And he can once again set his own hours. The downside is we have to pay for our own insurance, which we were having to pay for mine and Isabella's anyway because of another broken promise from his boss. We've been working on getting his office back in order, since I have seemed to take it over as my sewing/craft room. So Friday was his last day, and since then he has been SO much happier, and healthier! Yesterday was his first day on the new (old) job, and even though he had to get up at 3:30 a.m. to attend a meeting a few hours away, he came home in the evening so full of energy and excitement! It was great to see.
And onto the computer (our only computer is a laptop) - obviously when he is working from home he'll be on our computer. Also, when he's out meeting with farmers every day, he'll have to take it with him. He's hoping to get another laptop just to use for business sometime, but probably not anytime soon. So this will drastically cut down on my computer time, which might not be all bad. :)

Oh there, I figured it out! Silly me....just had to look around more than I'm used to! Again, congrats, and all the best!
Wow that really says something about Monte that his old job would hire him back when they weren't hiring - great!
And we haven't had internet in our house for several months - I have to wait until Ken brings his laptop home from work after M is asleep. It's not so bad.
