BH, you are so sweet!!! I just posted on H4H's thread before reading your post here, and I swear it was just about what you posted here. I've been super busy the past 2 days, did art club yesterday afternoon, came back and worked out for an hour and did an hour of bible study. Today did chores & then helped S14 finish up his virtual school homework (he got a lesson behind this week with having the flu but his teacher said it's ok). Then did a Halloween art class with D8 and we painted pumpkins and made Halloween jewelry. So much fun.
Yesterday a really nice lady from church called and let me know they have a part-time temporary job at the Art Center (where I was today). I had mentioned to her a month ago I was looking for a part-time job and she remembered and somehow got my cell phone. I turned in my resume today (the woman thinks it will be about 2 months they need someone while the regular person's bf is in hospital in another town in intensive care. The person from my church had told her all about me and I guess said good things. Coincidentally, before this happened I was at the Art Center on Tuesday and the director of the Art Center had wanted to give brochures out at my church and another church, so I told her I would do that at my church and give them out to the kids at the afterschool program that afternoon. So maybe my good deed will get rewarded if I get this temporary job. The lady from my church was saying even after the 2 months, I might be able to help out the regular 2 women possibly when they go on vacation or get sick, or maybe if they ever hire someone permanent they'll keep me in mind. Plus it would be current job experience to put down on my resume. The lady that took my resume also said she looked it over and came up while I was at the workshop to let me know she had worked at the Public Defender's Office (one of my first jobs) in our town (I worked one town over, but she knew a lot of the same people I worked with and is friends with them and says everyone that works there is very friendly and outgoing so I guess she sounds like she liked me too. But you know with my luck or the economy lately, I won't count on anything until I actually get a paycheck in my hand!!!
Then got home and mowed the lawn while H was here picking up the kids for 20 minutes. We said Hi and that was it. H did wave when he drove off with the kids and I waved back. When I saw H today I honestly didn't feel much of anything but a little disgust. I think he's kind of a mean low-life so much of the time. For a long time, even before this past 2 years I didn't think he was that great an H, but always a good dad, and now I don't even think that about him. I feel ready to move on. Was talking to another mom at the workshop today and she wants to set me up with her dad, but he is a 61 year old granddad. Geez, just 20somethings and 60 somethings in my town-doesn't seem to be many 30-40-or 50 year olds!!! I mean come on that's not that picky. I told her I might take her up on it next year but I'm not really looking forward to dating--ugh!!! Hope everyone's having a good weekend. My L wants me to figure out all my and the kids' expenses this weekend so I'm going to try to do that, but will try to fit in some goofing off and GALing too!!! Karen
