And off to another round of random Tuesday thoughts...
*I think the month of September flew by, and October is going along at a snails pace.
*There is a little smiling Layla sitting next to me while I am typing this. She has soft hair, a contagious smile, lots of questions of "what's that", and she is a little monkey. Her bodysuit says beautiful little butterfly...I have to agree. Layla and I are hanging out while mommy is out helping a family member...and shopping.
*After school yesterday, I took my kids to the park to play while I walked a few laps around the walking trail. It felt wonderful. Nice weather, warm sun. My kids had a good time playing. My son lost his socks. He lost a toy there the last time we were there. He must bury these things in the sand or something, I don't get it. I don't think I have heard "I hurt my nuts" that much in my life. I know Amanda caught my son saying that at a different park one time. There were some other boys my sons age at the park this time, and it was coming from them. They thought it was cool to keep saying this...I didn't really want to know about this. There was a really trashy family at the park...I think they may have been inbred. And while we were there the other day, I guess my sons leg got stuck in between two bars. Instead of someone trying to see who's parents were his to let us know (because there wasn't any commotion over it), some lady dressed partially in a halloween costume decides to rub some disgusting smelling scented lotion on his leg to get it out. My.Son.Has.Bad.Allergies.
*It sure does take a long time for the hiring process for police dispatching. My nerves is bad when it comes to this. After being a SAHM for 6+ years, I'm nervous about the whole hiring process. It's a pretty big process when it comes to a police department. I'm hoping I will be seen comparable to those that have been working the field instead of passed up due to not being employed in many years. I know I need to contact the department I am trying to get on to so I can ask some questions and see if I can sit in and do a ride along. But...the human resources department that takes the applications for me has no answers for me. Hmm. I'm thinking they would at least be able to tell me who to contact within the employer I am applying for.
Now head on over to The Un Mom for more randomness.
Good luck in your job search and remember you haven't officially been employed but you have had a lot of responsibility and that takes organization and a whole lot of other skills.
ReplyDeleteThat onesie of hers is decieving...butterfly would imply that she is dainty and shy or something....neither of which describe my Layla
ReplyDeleteOh good luck on the dispatching. I'm always afraid that to get back into the workplace they would just look at me like an idiot because I've been at home for 6 years.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the job search. It's so frustrating when you can't get an answer from HR departments...they're the first contact but yet not always helpful.
ReplyDeleteDid someone you're not related to seriously apply lotion to your son? Outside of the fact that he has allergies didn't she read the Polite Mommy Manual Chapter titled, "No Rubbing Other People's Children Without Permission"? WTF?!?!? That's just no good.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to "it's a boy thing"....hahahha... the boys learned a lot of stuff at the playground, especially from some innercity kids that moved in the apartments. They learned A LOT of really nice words and one of the boys kicked Jason so hard there that we worried about him having kids...guess that was waisted worry... hahha Creepy that this lady rubbed stuff on him... I hope you get the job you want and if you have to start while we are there don't worry about it. I had to start a new job just as Steve's parents came to Virginia for a visit. We will work it out. love ya
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the new job... I've got my fingers crossed for ya! As for the "I hurt my nuts"...my six year old son is going thru that too. He thinks it's HI-larious!!
