Job and School

So we've been back home right at four months. I've still not found a job. It's driving me crazy. I've been everywhere (except for gas stations and fast food places), and so far no bites. I went to the "unemployment office on Tuesday, and was able to find a view prospects. I've applied at them all. My sister in law works at a bank, and told me about a Teller job that just opened up. I applied there this morning, and was told they would be calling for interviews in a little over two weeks. *Sigh* I would like a job now, please. Between my joblessness and my husband's whopping fifteen hours a week at a local department store, I just can't see past this fog. I know God will help us through this. In many ways He already has with blessing us with such a wonderful family. If it weren't for my parents, we'd be out on the street.

Taking this lack of jobs situation into account, my husband and I have both decided to go back to school. I've really been struggling with the whole "what do you I wanna be when I grow up?" thing. Ever since I was a little girl all I ever wanted was to be a wife and a stay at home mother. Well, I got half of that right now. God brought me and Gareth together in 2007 and we were married a year later. Our first year of marriage brought us many blessings, heart aches, and lessons. But we made it through and now are trying to secure our future. Gareth is planning on studying Computer Programing and I'm going to study Early Child Development. My decision for this has been a hard one. College has been a sore spot for me ever since I pretty much forced to make a decision at 18 and deal with it with a smile on my face. Which only resulted in me a real life beauty school dropout. But the time has finally come! I have made an educated decision for my degree of choice, and I'm going to stand behind it. School starts in May, and it just can't come soon enough. I'm just so ready to stop living paycheck to paycheck, and really make a living with my husband, and our future family.

I suppose that's all for now. Until next time.

Things to Ponder

I was sent this in my email the other day, and everything listed was so true, I couldn't help but post it. Enjoy.

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this -- ever.

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after Ididn't answer? Drop the phone and run away?

16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

18. My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the hell do I respond to that?

19.. I think the freezer deserves a light as well..

20. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.
