So, on to the job thing. G has applied for 4 jobs now for next season and has not gotten interviews for any of them. His resume is fantastic and very impressive. I can only think that his age has something to do with it because I cant imagine another reason why he wouldnt even get an interview. He's had amazing recommendations from people in high places. It is so so frustrating. The whole reason we moved here and took this job was because it would give him that extra umph to get the resume, an added bonus that most people wouldn't have on their resumes. I feel like we moved here for nothing because its not doing what it was supposed to do. 2 of the jobs we didnt want anyway but applied for for the experience of going through the process (interviewing with a board etc.) It looks like we're going to be here another year which really bums me out. I can deal with being far away for another year but we're in a teeny tiny apt, the kids are sharing a room which sucks because they wake eachother up all the time, its too small to have friends over (not that we have any) but I feel like we cant even have a playdate at our house because its too small. So thats frustrating. I looked into renting a house but its too $$ plus then the pain of moving AGAIN hopefully to move again next winter. I feel like I'm holding back here because I'm living in a temporary state which is really making it hard. Im really bummed about staying because I am so ready to find a house we love and settle down for a while, actually make a place feel like home and a neighborhood. This is the 10th move in 7 years we've been married, so really no place feels like home. I just want a home, especially now that Aubrey is in school its hard on her to keep switching schools and leaving friends and making new friends. and Now there arent even any jobs opening up to apply for! its so bizarre, in all the states we would move to, there isnt one job opening? I find it hard to believe and Im so frustrated!

Meanwhile Im at the Honda place with the kids waiting for my car to be fixed...brake rotors are warped...oil change and rear light going to cost about $500. Ugh. Right before Xmas. Yikes! But got to be done. Bad thing is all I want to do when Im bummed out is shop shop shop!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!
