Jobs

Well, unfortunately, that job didn't work out.

I have to find something eventually, right?

I mean, I have a degree - but very little job experience, other than serving and 9 months of sales. But if no one will give me a job, how am I supposed to get that job experience? And, frankly, I don't want to be in sales anymore. I don't think I can handle the commission - the stressing every week that I will make my goal. The fear and the beginning of every month as to whether or not I will make enough money. It was fine at first, because I was doing great! But then things went downhill. I just don't know what I am going to do...

Changes

So many things are constantly changing. I just cannot believe how much my two little girls have grown from my babies into little ladies. I am just so lucky to have them in my life.

Jordan is still just as talkative as ever. She is very excited about the prospect of going to school. She talks about it all the time. I hope that if everything works out well in the next few months, we might be able to enroll her in a preschool. I'd love to give her a head start on schooling - plus I would love for her (and maybe me, as well) to make some new friends!

Madison's vocabulary basically blossomed overnight. She went from barely speaking (probably because Jordan would rarely let her get a word in edgewise) to basically speaking first sentences. She has gotten so good at expressing herself. It's almost hard to believe that just a few months ago she said basically nothing. And we have attempted potty training, but it has been slow going. And with us all so sick last week, we definitely took a few steps back. Its just about time to push the potty training into overdrive. I want to be a diaper-free household!

Everything with the house has been wonderful! We absolutely love it here. Having the freedom of being on our own - finally - was exactly what we needed. And while it's a lot of hard work, its so worth it!

I have definitely been a little worried about my job situation, though. I've known for a while that my current job is running out of work until October, but now that my last week is looming, I am really stressing out. I interviewed for a job last week that I *really* want, and I am just waiting to hear back from them. It would be so amazing if I got it, because it would put me working more "normal" hours so that I would have evening and weekends with my family, as well as give us the financial ability to maybe be able to afford things like putting the girls in preschool. I am just keeping my fingers crossed!

Well, that's all for now. I should get better about blogging more often, then I wouldn't have to play catch up so much... :)
