Job Searching

So 'How goes the hunt" you might ask... well, it goes. I've called several places that unfortunately weren't hiring and then all of a sudden this week things have been appearing. The electric company is hiring as is the hospital. The new jail opens in Feb. and they are looking for help, a temp service I know of is interested in me. A new company similar to my old one is possibly opening and they had me come in an talk with their consultant ( the owners aren't sure if they want to open the company or not). Then the consultant turns around and asks if I might be interested in teaching some basic computer classes at her company. I explained I was not certified but the classes she offers is just 'personal' classes not college classes so she said it would not matter.

So while I've not gotten any 'true' job offers, things look promising.

Life on the home front has taken advantage of my time off. My son had an asthma attack on Sunday so I have spent several days/nights of breathing treatments every four hours but I think we are back down to just 2 treatments a day for about another 9 days - not bad! Today, my daughter overcame her fear of having mom pull her teeth - I pulled 2 out tonight (usually we have to have Uncle Ronnie pull them out).

Christmas shopping has been delayed until this weekend. My husband had the opportunity to work a 'double shift' on this paycheck - that was sure a blessing. I was able to turn in some of my kids' gently worn clothes and had enough credit to buy some 'new to them' items as well - some looked brand new!

So all in all - it's going well.
