To Work or Not To Work w/Hubby

Last night I saw a job opening at my husband's company for an HR Manager. I told my husband about it. Here's the funny conversation that we had:

Me: Hey, mahal, look there's an opening for an HR Manager position at [insert name of husband's company here].

Hubby: Really? Lemme see the job posting.

Me: Hmmm, what do you think, should I apply for it?

Hubby: Yeah....um.... I don't think so.

Me: Why?

Hubby: (Laughs) Our union would eat you alive!

Cherish

I'm still looking for a job - I've come pretty close to a couple of offers, but nothing has quite come through yet. I've never been in this situation before - I've always been the top candidate for the positions I've interviewed for. Oh well...times are tough and I am well aware that there are plenty of well qualified people out there applying to the same jobs as I am.

Rob and I are praying, and we trust in the Lord, so when the right opportunity comes up, we know there will be a clear sign. Until then I am doing my best to cherish every moment that I have with my son right now - I am so thankful that I've been here for him for his first four months so far. If I had gone back to work back in August I would have missed his first laugh, the first time he was alert in his entertainer/bumbo/playpen, the first time he started grabbing things, etc.

I love my son so much - and while I really need to go back to work, and look forward to doing so, I'm going to miss him so so very much. I must remember to cherish, and continue to cherish, every moment I have with him right now... even when he's screaming and kicking and fighting his naptime ;)

Make It Work

I had an awesome phone interview today. It's for a temp position, but a job's a job, and it will most definitely pay more than unemployment, which is currently only $450/week. In this current economy I understand that I need to be flexible - thank goodness the position is in HR.

Anyhoo, I've got a wardrobe dilemma... they want to meet me in person tomorrow... due to my pregnancy, I haven't had to wear a suit in over a year. Needless to say, I highly doubt any of them fit me, especially since I was losing weight right before I got pregnant. I refuse to buy a new suit because I own so many.

Thankfully, for whatever reason, when I lost weight, there was one pair of black pants that I did not have taken in. As they say in Project Runway, I'm gonna "make it work". Here's hoping RJ does not spit up on me between the time I get dressed and the time I drop him off with my cousin to watch him!

My baby is a BOY!

Last week we took RJ to the Carlsbad Outlets for a nice stroll and to search for a much needed floppy hat. He was wearing a bodysuit that was white with brown monkeys on it. While I was holding him over my shoulder a lady tapped my shoulder and said, "Excuse me, she's spitting up." I thought to myself, who's spitting up and why should I care? Then I realized (gasp!), #1 RJ was spitting up and #2 the lady thought he was a girl! WHAT!?

Oh no she didn't... so that's it, I went through his "going out" clothes and will make sure he's got blue on from now on!
