Wishy-Washy

I am so disappointed by my expectations for yesterday.  The day in which I thought was the end of the tunnel.  HA!  It now seems like we are really just at the beginning of the tunnel and our journey has really just begun.  

We heard zero about our counter offer on the house.  Which really doesn't mean anything until we hear back from the realtor.  Not good or bad just waiting.  Story of my life.  Just waiting. 

Mark went to Melbourne yesterday and the "interview" was just that, an interview.  We thought via the friend the job was Mark's if he wanted it.  Yesterday the HR lady was very wishy-washy is the best way to describe it.  Asked Mark when he could start and then had the attitude that we might not hire you by then.  Mark was in his truck for over 5 hours yesterday.   

So, the kids saw him when he finally got home at 3:30 in the afternoon.  He had left before the kids got up.  They are so used to him being home.  They ran out to see him and as we where walking up to the house (still in the yard) the phone started to ring.  I answered it and it was a company in Alabama that he applied for in November.  ANYWHO, long story short they are flying him to Alabama Tuesday afternoon to interview Wednesday.  This is a job that their job post and Marks resume look just alike.  Everything they want, he has the experience.  

I interviewed for a hourly teaching job Friday and I have heard nothing from the school.  Which is fine. I really don't want to work. I'm just telling the truth.  If I have to I will, I just don't want to. Hard to commit to a job if Mark is leaving town.  Where would Alex and Nathan go during the day?  I don't want to take a job I would have to quit.  AH HUM BUG!  

So, our limbo continues.

Top 10 Things I Don't Miss About Facebook

It has been 24 days since I changed my password and logged off Facebook. I have logged on twice to see if anyone messaged me and logged back off. Which I am glad that I did because someone messaged me about math tutoring. The only thing I missed was if someone had had their baby. I was interested to know and while I tried so hard to stay off Facebook I did search her name just to see if she had the baby. Then I thought if she did have the baby and I don't know then are we really friends?   We are not friends by the true definition, just virtual Facebook friends. Top 10 Things I Don't Miss About Facebook 1. Selling of Rodan & Fields, LuLaRue, 31, Ketones or Scentsy.  I like some of these products and support you 100% and hope you do well.  The multiple posts on your product daily but nothing else in your life, blah. 2. Bragging. I love to see pictures of your vacation, if it isn't the only time you are on Facebook. 3. Posting fake news. 4. Making a comment I ...

One Word Can Actually Make a Difference

I choose not to work. I do understand that people don't have a choice and have to work outside of the home for a pay check to buy food and shelter.  One parent in my house must work. I also feel some don't really have to work and choose to work for luxury items.  I have talked to people that say there is no way they could be a stay at home parent and choose to go to work. Why do we as parents belittle each other in our choices.  Recently on Facebook (some say a necessary evil, but I think it is just evil) A parent commented   "...for the parent that actually works".  Wow, only one word makes that sentence sting.  I try not to let these words on Facebook hurt me or give them a second thought but I am a wordy person and I think about words.  The sentence takes a different tone if it was written, "for the parent that works".  The word "actually" implies negative things to those that don't work. For the parent that works I understand that a 30 ...

180 Days

Oh sweet summertime, you are missed already.  One of my kids said that the school year is the beginning of a 180 day sentence.  Makes a mother with a teaching degree sad.  I love learning. I don't love the system of education and why I am not a classroom teacher anymore but I understand some of her complaints. I am the mother of a freshman in high school. At a brand new school. No one went to school there ever until a couple of weeks ago.  I told her the first couple weeks could be hard. The plus to being a freshman in a new school is that it is new to everyone. I knew that even though the building cost 75 million to build that things were not going to be ideal.  Boy was I right, I don't always like being right. Some things are a mess.  Some things are getting better each day.  There are things I can not understand and probably will never understand.  Even as a parent that has been a classroom teacher with two degrees in education I can't make...
