Resume Mes-mu-may

You guessed it...another day of absolute nail biting boredom. I tried to get good book ideas from my mother so I could head down to the library and act scholastic, but she is going to bring me 7 books from her collection when she comes this sunday. This will be very helpful- can you picture it now a new mom juggling diaper changes and breast feeding all the while reading a novel? LOL. Hopefully in our down time (she is staying for 2 weeks) when we have run out of energy to chatter we can take a lazy day to read in each others company.

I made some good progress on the job hunt today. As some of you many know from my first blog post of '11 I mentioned I was a free-lance nanny. What a hilarious made-up title huh? There is no other title for it though so I roll with it. Anyways I had a pretty awesome gig lined up for after Henry was born that fell through due to inconvenience to the parents of the child I was to watch. Driving out to our house was going to be too much of a hassle for them which is understandable, but a bummer none the less. So finding out this lovely bit of info 9 days before my due date I got frantic and started job searching everywhere.

I never looked for anything full time or very serious before because when we first moved here in June I spent 4 out of the 7 day work week finishing up planning our wedding. That was my full time job. Then after the wedding I was so far along in my pregnancy that no one wanted to hire me. And basically we live in the middle of no where arm pit of Ohio- not much opportunity for a fashion styling career. I knew this when we moved here. I knew this when I met Kevin, I was going to follow him and where ever he got a job because he could make A LOT more money right out of college than I could. Being a fashion stylist takes years and years and lots of little jobs here and there for little pay etc etc.

So now I need a real job- but since we live in the middle of no where butt hole of the earth Ohio we dont have/know of anyone to watch Henry. Boo. Now we have to think of daycare- which we were trying to avoid, hence me being a nanny. Now that all nanny opportunities are gone I need to find a really really good job so Im actually making a profit and not just giving all my money to daycare. Parenthood + Adulthood equals feeling like you live in the HOOD! It def stinks monkey butt.

Welp today I found my dream job. I wont go into it to much because I dont want to jinx it or set myself up for disappointment. But I need to fluff my resume up a ton. The last time I used it was over a year ago. Every job I've gotten since 2008-2009 has been from work of mouth and recommendations. Looking at Kev's resume was enough to make this girl cry. His is jam packed with extracurricular and leadership roles and volunteer work blablabla pretty much he is good at everything he does and it eats me alive :D We spent the evening trying to salvage my resume which is very comical because Kev gave up eventually lol. But we got off to a good start and I plan on finishing it up tomorrow and emailing off my life to the HR department of this fabulous company <3

REALLY good part of my day was when my lovely beyond lovely husband came home and made home-made chili and we had family dinner time. Something I valued SO SO much growing up. Dinners around the table, no tv, no internet, no phones. Bliss. We agreed we are to continue this tradition every night until Henry is 38 ha ha.

Tomorrow equals exciting exciting day for momma clouse as I toodle on over to my baby dr to see if I've had any progress in the last week with my dilation and effacement. Hopefully she will give me a glimmer of hope that Henry will be here by next wendsday! Then I have to run some errands for Kev and then off to work for the entire evening! YAY! I will be SO exhausted saturday which is perfect timing since Ive commissioned Kev to deep clean the house for me before my momma comes on sunday :D Which I'm SUPER excited about because she is going to make HOME MADE chicken wings, potato skins and nachos! whooo hooo! Nothing better than your momma's cooking!

Gotta run to bed, even though I am not tired AT ALL (total insomnia has kicked in yet again) plus this was a lengthy post tonight! Will update tomorrow with baby's progress!

much love and happiness
