A Lot of Firsts

  1. It is the first time in 10 years I have gone job hunting.
  2. The first time in 12 years for me make a floral arrangement as part of a job interview (I passed that test just fine; not to rusty after all).
  3. My first time using kiosks to send a resume (just so we know, I am not fond of those things).
  4. My first three call backs in less than 1 day after dropping off resumes (good to know I am still considered a good catch to employers).
  5. My first time applying to teach art at an elementary school (k-4) (1 of my dream jobs, it is even at the school my children go to); pray for me on this one. (On a side note, other dream jobs: being a pattern tester in almost any fiber medium, owning a fiber art museum and teaching classes there, enough of that).
  6. The first time my littlest daughter has ever lost a tooth.
  7. First time for any of my children to wear glasses (I think they look cute in them, I have no idea why she is doing a blank stare in the photo).
Lots of first the last three weeks. I thought life was supposed to slow down as you got older; it seems to be speeding up on me. Not complaining, just amazing how fast life changes. No job, yet, still hunting. I have been offered a few, but I want to wait a few days more so I can compare them and see what works best for my family.

  2. Hey Wendy, I know you will land the perfect job that will suit your homelife as well.

    I've traveled all of my life and really thought life had quit throwing curve balls but last October I started traveling back and forth (5 hours) between the mountain house and the job location where Thomas landed a great job unexpectedly.

    It has been a whirlwind of change and very hard having my sewing stuff seperated (again)..LOL But all things considered life is very good!

    Keep us updated on how things progress with you.

  3. I know how you feel about having to work again. I stayed home with my daughter for her first year (she's three now) then had to go back to work. I'm back home now with a new son (7mo) and I don't want to work out of the home ever again... I'll be thinking of you as you continue to look for something just right! Beautiful work by the way!!!
