Job Hunt

I have finally started to look for a job here. Since we still don't have our house in Maple Hts rented out, I need to start bringing in money to make the house payments while Sab paychecks go to our apartment. This sucks. I went on an interview today for a day care. NO THANKS. It was literally in a run down trailer. They are in the process of building a new building but it is not in a great neighborhood plus it is about a half hour drive one way. I was SOSOSOSOSO nervous going to the interview. I haven't had to interview in over 9 years. They actually only asked me one question, "Would I feel comfortable driving a bus?" A bus? Not so much. Now it is one of those short busses(laugh laugh) but no. They want me to come back tomorrow or Wednesday to observe the classes but I am going to call and let them know that it is too far for me to drive. I am in the process of lining up another interview, this time for a nanny job. It is Mon-Fri from 6:00 a.m. to 3 or 4 pm. I don't mind getting there that early I am just worried about waking up Claire. I don't want her to get used to it then wake up that early on the weekends. THey have 3 kids 13, 5, and 21 months. The older 2 are in school all day so it would be Claire and their 21 month old. It would be good for Claire to have someone to play with. Maybe I will still be able to go to Kindermusik and my MOPS meetings. I really don't want to give them up. Oh, another thing about the daycare, I can bring Claire and pay only half price for leaving her there but it is still $73 a week. A WEEK. Are you kidding me. It would be better to just stay home then dish out that much. I would be working so she could play there. No Thanks. I would really love to find a job that I could work part time but not so far. I will keep looking.

Claire has been driving me absolutely crazy the past few days. She has had a runny nose since Wed and all she does is whine. She has been waking up at least twice every night and not wanting to go back to bed. Finally this morning at 5 am, I stood by her door and every time she would step out of bed(crying the whole time. Sorry lady upstairs:() I would go in, put her in bed without making eye contact then walk out. Finally after about 15 min of doing that over and over again, she stopped crying. It still took her another 20 minutes to fall asleep but it worked. Hopefully she will not do it again but I doubt it. It might take a few more days of this. It is making us(claire and I) so cranky during the day. I get mad over stupid stuff then I feel bad for getting mad but I can't help it. I NEED SLEEP. Uninterrupted sleep. Don't get me wrong, I love every minute of being here with her, its just been a long few days. Well, time for bed. Till next time.
