Jobs?

Well it's finally that time. My son is about to embark on that great journey into kindergarten. Which means I need to find a job. I wont have any kids at home during the day and I need money so there is nothing holding me back. Well except for that whole nobody that is paying a decent wage wants to hire me thing. Which really sucks. I have a college degree and I would consider myself and hard worker. But apparently everyone and their mother is looking for work right now and millions of people are applying for the same jobs as I am. I'm sure I will find something eventually. I just hope it's sooner rather then later.
I'm really not picky. I just want something that I know I would be comfortable doing and pays me enough to drive the 25 miles into town and 25 miles back home every day. So anything that pays 9 dollars/per hour or up would be fantastic. I've only applied for two jobs and I haven't heard from them yet. I'm hoping that I do soon. If not I'll start putting in applications everywhere and anywhere.
Not much else going on around here. It's abnormally hot for this time of year. I don't like it at all. I hate being hot. I hate being sweaty and I really really hate being sticky after I've showered already. There really is nothing worse then taking a shower, blow drying your hair and then being sweaty and sticky all over again. I hate it. That is why I am considering cutting my hair. It's getting really long and honestly it's starting to look a little ragged. I am also thinking of going back to my natural color. Which last time I checked was a dark blonde color. It could be gray now for all I know. But I saw this woman at Walmart the other night that had the most beautiful long gray hair. I just kept thinking ya know if my hair looks like that then that is nothing to be ashamed of. She didn't look old. She looked mature and beautiful. I'm not old, I'll be thirty this year. But I'm also not 19 anymore. There is no need to pretend I'm still a teenager. Even though I find it hard to believe that I'll be 30 in a few short months. But I have no problem with looking my age. So in the spirit of maturity I am no longer going to hide what might or might not be going on with my natural color. After all my dad went gray very early and he still looked very handsome.
My son went to a half day at Kindergarten today. He did awesome. He didn't cry, he didn't beg me to stay and I only shed a few small tears on my way home. I am just as ready for him to as he is but it's still a little sad that my last baby is growing up so fast. And I know how fast the time flies by once they start school. It's just a few years before they are teenagers and talking about getting cars, jobs and moving out. (I kinda look forward to that part just cause that means more time alone for me and the husband LOL) But it does go by very fast. I was so proud of the way he just went off and made friends and didn't cling to me like I thought he would. It makes me feel so much better about him starting school in the fall.
This Sunday is not only Mother's Day, it's also my 6th wedding anniversary. I am still the luckiest girl alive. I've got the best husband in the world. He still knows how to make me laugh, I still watch for him out the kitchen window while I'm cooking dinner and seeing him walk thru the door is still the best part of my day. Well that or going to bed and lying next time watching tv. I like that a lot. I don't know if he'll ever know how grateful I am to have met him and become his wife. Just thinking of all the chances we both had before meeting to either get married or get involved with other people and knowing how either fate or chance led us to each other it's just a miracle that we were able to finally come together. And I don't plan on ever letting  him go.
