Busy Is An Understatement

Well, it seems that my life is about to get a little bit busier.  I referred to this subject in my last post, but didn't really "go" there as not to jinx myself.  Well, it's official.  I've been offered the position and I've accepted the assignment.  Here we go...full steam ahead.

What am I talking about?  I'll be working on base for a couple months.  I'm a temp employee working for Boeing, so I'm not employed by them, but by Volt Services.  A-okay.  The assignment will begin at 40 hours/week and it's expected to eventually become 60 hours/week.  We'll see.  Bottom line, it's only a couple of months and I can handle it. I've been skating by the past few months.

Now, I'm still keeping my permanent job at Durham Realty, I'll just be mixing around and adjusting my hours to accomodate my new schedule.  I told you my boss rocks.  Of course it's works out that we're slow this time of year.  And then when the temp job ends I'll start in on real estate classes.  Phew.  Told you I'd be busy. ;)

In addition, like I don't have enough going on, I've started my own business.  Sassy.  It's a fun job, developed just for fun, selling designer inspired handbags and accessories.  I dreamt copied the concept for parties that I've attended in the past.  And discovered that there are none here.  Open market. :)  Yay.  So, I tentatively now have 3 parties on the books.  We'll see if they pan out.

In between we'll continue to research and search adoption options.  And hopefully FINALLY decide on the path, avenue, trail that we're destined for.  I will admit it's been on the bottom of the list, but never far from my mind.  I guess maybe it's time for Brent to do some research.  LOL.  We'll see...

Last night I had dinner with a group of ladies that I'd never met before.  It was quite a mixed bag, and I generally find the fertile women a little bit much to deal with.  It could have been my frame of mind, or the delicious pinot grigio I was sipping, but the bouncy twenty-somethings with eggs ready-to-fire, didn't bother me much.  Eh, let 'em have 'em.   I don't need that particular super power.  Ha!  In all seriousness, I wish much to reproduction to those who can, will and want.  It's just that I believe in humor and sometimes you just have to laugh about it.  Seriously.

So, I guess it's just the way the wind blows.  I've spent so much time being angry, heart broken, and confused about it all, that it really feels good to just go with the flow.  See what happens.  Figure it out as the time comes.  And right now, I have forms to fill out, cups to pee in, and badges to get.  I'm busy.  And that's an understatement.

Have a happy day!

When things just don't work

I am taking a break. From all things baby. For my sanity, for my health, I'm just putting it on the back burner for now. Not long (hopefully) but long enough. Right now things just aren't happening as quickly as I'd like, or in the order that I'd like.

I had two interviews today, but neither is Oscar worthy. I would love the one, like the other, and well, neither one of them will fulfill my wallet as much as I'd like. I think I'm having a small and early mid-life crisis. Is crisis the correct word? I don't know. But right now, short of living in a great state, and possibly finding a new job, not much else is falling into place.

So, I need to step back and take a look at what's wrong, and fix it. I need to find, figure and fix, and then I'll be back. But I'm hopeful and positive that soon we'll be chugging along...again. :)

Have a happy day!

Hmmmm...

I have been thinking about all of this for most of the day. I am looking for a job. I was so hopeful and excited today, everything seemed to be going my way. Then I checked the status on three jobs that I applied for, and they deemed me unqualified. Pffft. Wrong answer. I knew that finding a job would be challenging, but now that I know that once I actually get a job, and get things lined up we can start the paperwork and the process to finally being a family, with children, it seems like it just isn't going to happen.

I'm still optimistic, and hopeful, but I'm growing impatient, and nervous, and bummed. Sparky is convinced that I don't have a chance at the job that I really want, and while I'll admit that he's the more pessimistic of the two of us, I know that I have to think in terms of reality. I know no one. Well, I know like 6 people here. One being my husband, so that makes my chances even more slim. And well, these jobs are good jobs, highly sought after, for good reason, but dang it, I was really hoping that I might have a shot. I'm not out, and I have faith, but I have started applying for other jobs that aren't really exactly what I was looking for.

So, I'm trying to be patient, but I am so anxious to get this all started. I want to shout it from the roof tops, and I'm really anxious to finally meet my child. And I know that portion of it is still a ways off, but I'm really excited to move closer to the point in which I can meet my child. Hold him/her in my arms, and I'm not going to share. LOL. Okay, maybe I will, I just want to see who has been waiting for me, as long as I've been waiting for him/her. Now, is that too much to ask?
