That was Quick

Here I have been applying for jobs a few a week since about June. Then I get a job, then once I start the job I get a call for an interview. And there is a job fair today they are doing interviews, and I am on the list. Even I am having trouble keeping up with it all.

So I worked Monday night and Tuesday night. Wed I was offered a job a t Walmart. It is pending due to mandatory drug test and background check. I went to job 1 and told them I am quiting but I will finish out the week. I will work Thurs, Fri, and Sat. and Sun. night as planned. After bowling this morning I will go the job fair for an interview at Waltonwood. They do have full benefits for, full-time workers. My only concern is working full-time days means Paul will really have to take a lot more time off to haul the kids around for appointments etc. I am usually in charge of that stuff.
At least at Walmart if something comes up you have lots of people to switch your schedule around with so it seems a little more flexible to me. When you have kids this can be a really good thing. There are some benefits, for both full and part time but the pay isn't so good to start.

Also Full time days would mean rushing home to make dinner, haul kids to and fro, it seems a little overwhelming to me to think about that. Since I never had to do that even when I used to work. I am sure eventually we would adjust but I can see some stress in my future.

So first no jobs now maybe 2. Maybe even 3. We met a woman who works in the school cafeteria (I have put an application ) She knows the head person and thinks she could help get me in. That would only be 2 to 4 hours per day and you get the same days off as the kids, and the summer. I am supposed to get the info from her on Sat at R's basketball game. When it rains it pours! Watch what you pray for you just might get it.

Stay tuned for the installment. Even I don't know what what will happen. Good thing God is in control because I sure am not!

It's November

Where have I been? No where special. Just not in the mood to blog.

I got a job! I start tonight. I will be leaving in about 20 minutes. I am still looking for a job with benefits but this just might do for now. I will train tonight and tomorrow night. My regular schedule will be Thur, Fri, Sat , Sun all midnights and then the next week just Fri and Sat night. It rotates back and forth like that. One good thing this doesn't inter fear with Dr. appointments etc. and I won't miss any school events. I worked out a car pool with the neighbor so she takes
the kids in the morning and I will do the after school pick up. the only problem I see is that sometimes I may not have a lot to do and I will have to train myself to stay awake. I will mostly be by myself, so that will make it harder to stay awake.

Took Nat to Dr again and they retested her iron. It is still around 10 which is what it was last time (up from her first test of 8) He wants me to give her more iron pills 2 three times per day and test again around Thanksgiving. If it still is low he really thinks we need to consider having the OB Dr. put her on the pill. Her thyroid tested out fine again.

That is it for now. I will try to update how the job went.
