day five

Well, a very uneventful job seeking week. Only two good postings today, one had such a horrible online app, that I wasn't able to submit to it. One requires a few things that I don't have, I'm going to send my resume anyhow, can't win if you don't play right?

No phone calls. Ick. 1st week done, with nothing remotely promising. Not a great sign. Plus about 12 large companies announced massive layoffs, so not a good thing.

Dental work being done tomorrow, the SuperBowl on Sunday. So I'm off until Monday.

day four

Nothing much happening today. One new post - sent resume. No phonecalls. No emails. Nothing.

Meh

Guess it gives me plenty of time to do the laundry.

day three

Nothing new on the job boards. I got one phonecall that had such a strong accent I could barely understand her, and I was driving. It was a recruiter so I asked her to call me back in 10 minutes so that I would be home. No call back from her. Oh well. Got two emails. One is so way beyond my skills it's not worth dreaming about - kick ass job though *sigh*. The other sounds good, and within the realm of realistic possibilities, sent my resume and phone number. And so it goes......

day two

The job hunt continues. Checked new postings (there were only 4 across all sites), sent resume to the one that fits my skills. Got 2 phone calls from recruiters so far. One for something way under paying (and I'm not asking for much either!) and another for a 7pm to 7am night shift. The actual job sounded great on the second one, but the shift is unmanagable for me. She said they are possibly opening up new positions, told her I would be very interested in a day shift position. And so it goes on. Let's see how long it takes to get a real job.......

exercising

Oh god, I'm not good at exercising. Even the little bit we've begun to do every morning, ouch ouch. But it would be awesome to drop a little of my tummy and thighs off. Here's to hoping it works.

hard work

it's hard work finding work

to do list

Re-write resume, send to the posting I found last night. Attempt to potty train toddler again. Vacuum the rest of the house. Pick up the kids rooms, dishes and clean kitchen. Pick up kids from school. Pack their clothes for overnight. Take the kids to BINGO night at the school (oh boy!). Comfort daughter when she doesn't win at BINGO. Take the kids to my mother's house. Enjoy my weekend :)

feeling better

I am feeling tons better today. YAY.

Looking for a job, somewhat daunting and exciting at the same time.

ugh

I think I have a head cold. This totally sucks. Can't stop sneezing, and runny nose. Pretty much feel like I got ran over. Bad timing for getting sick. Too much to do right now.

time to get a real job

I've been staying at home for a long time now with the kids. Time to relaunch the career! I'm actually getting a bit pumped about the idea. If only I could skip that horrid interview process. I'd rather get my toenails removed than be in an interview... aaarrrghg

report cards

The most dreaded time in a child's school year. Well, the results are in. And I'm pretty damn happy with them honestly. Lots of improvements. Now if I can get the kids to be less "social" in class.....

Little girls....

I don't recall being so emotional at such a young age. I suppose I wouldn't though, one never remembers themselves accurately. But my 7 year old daughter. Oh, the tears. The constant tears and drama. I'm at a loss of how to handle it most of the time. She cries over just about anything now. And lord knows, if told NO, wow! If told to do her chores, Good God! I think she's probably crying in the shower I told her to take.....


Sigh.

Tendency

I have the tendency to keep doing what I've always done. I don't know why. Just the way I'm wired I suppose. I go through life like I'm adhering to Newton's Laws. I tend to stay in motion until acted upon by another force. I do what I do. Is it a good or bad thing?

Bad Habits

Time to break them. Damn it's rough though.

I can has a happy?

Yes I can :)

I am happy. Not everything is perfect. Far from it in many ways, but I have a lot of love, good people around me, things are well enough. So I am happy.

I've finally realized that working hard is not a hardship, it's just how it is. Sure there are people that don't have to, but how much self-worth do they have? Life is what you make of it, and I'm planning on making the most.

hrmph

I has a sad.

My wish for the day....

Less grumpiness. All around. Everyone around me gets so grumpy all the time. Starting to get me down a bit. Maybe I'm the cause of the grumpiness? Sometimes I am I suppose, but I couldn't possibly cause ALL of it.

Here's to a happy day :)

My least favorite sound....

Whining. Definitely. The 2 year old does nothing else, and often enough the 7 year old gets going as well. Ugh.
