Job Hunting

Can I just say that looking for a job is one of the most denigrating, humiliating, fruitless experiences that a stay-at-home Mom can ever have! Trust me, I am not apologizing for any choices I have made in the past to stay home with my children, but the working world seems to think I should have been making a career for myself somewhere along the way! I could probably do most of these jobs I am applying for with my eyes closed and half my brain, but since I don't have much experience they seem to think I am useless! Plus the "jobs available" selection is seriously limited! As Marlene would say "Seriously!" Oh well, I am sure that something will come up when I least expect it!

Juliana and Malia

We went to Avondale yesterday to celebrate Juliana's fifth birthday (our oldest granddaughter). She was so cute and so happy to be at Peter Pipers Pizza. She is changing before our very eyes and growing up quickly. Happy Birthday Juliana!
Carolyn was talking to the girls about being more mellow and not so hyper. She asked Malia (3) what she thought "mellow" meant. Malia, without hesitation, said "It means to sit on your butt and be quiet!" Not only do I have cute grandkids but smart ones too! I love them all so much!

Yep, that's our Malia. Glad that you could come to the party. We love having you close.

I know what you mean about the job search. I have been very lucky to get my jobs through people I'm friend's with. It helps to have connections. I got my current job @ the school district when a gal I'm friends with in my ward found out I was taking a college computer class. Now I am utilizing all those things I learned and learning more every day! Talk to people you know and tell them you're looking. Your grandkids are adorable! Hugs to you. Claudia
