I've been looking for a job since October. This week I had 2 job interviews! TWO! One of them looks very promising. The problem is that it doesn't pay very much, but it's only about 10 minutes from home, right across the street from my kids school, and it pays...period...it pays. No matter how much right now, anything coming in would be wonderful! Friday they called me to see if I could come in for a second interview in the afternoon. Problem? I didn't have my phone with me and so I didn't get the message until about 11:30 Friday night. I have to call on Monday. I hope they still want me to come in.
Both jobs would be hard and have different challenges. One of the jobs is at an HOA. I'm very familiar with that kind of thing since I was in commercial real estate for almost of my entire professional career. But I would be dealing with a lot of calls from people that are upset about something or other. I'll have to practically memorize the CC&R's. And I'll have to learn a new accounting software. The other is in customer service. It will be much harder because I'll have to learn a new software and a new service. It isn't really a hard choice, except for the money. Oh, and I guess if I even get offered one or the other of the jobs. I'll have to take what I can get at this point.

I have an appointment on Wednesday that will change my life. I hope it will solve a lot of my troubles and even help my financial situation as well. It's been coming a long time and hopefully this will be the end of it.

I'm pretty sure the house is sold. I don't know what we're going to do when it's time to move. There's a house on the street next to ours that's for rent and I would love to stay here. But, for some reason I feel like this home is where we're supposed to be. I cannot for the life of me figure out how that could ever work, but for now I have to trust that I should just wait and see what happens. I love this house. I love the street we live on. I love my neighbors and my ward. I have friends here that I would hate to leave. The kids have friends here. Another things that is just hanging in the balance.

Maybe the reason I haven't been writing is that I feel like I'm in limbo. I feel so lost. I know I have to walk into the darkness a few steps before I can see light to take a few more steps. And I'm trying to do that. I'm just so scared. Maybe after Wednesday and when I get a job things will start to make a little more sense. For now, I'm in the pitch dark wondering which way to go.

In August I'm supposed to start school at UVU. Problem? Since I'll be working I may not be able to do that. I'll have to either spend time with the kids or take a class or two. At that rate I'll never graduate. I'm not sure what to do about that either.

I want a magic lamp, money tree, and cowboy. HaHaHa!!! My daughter would get a kick out of that. She wants a horse and I want land. Oh, and an electric drill with all of the accessories and a grill to cook on! Then my life would be complete. Well....if I don't have to work and the kids are with me and happy my life could be almost perfect.

My roses are in bloom and are doing very well. This week I'm going to spend as much time as I can working outside. It's been raining on and off and I've been so busy inside that my yard isn't doing too well. The garage is even worse! I need to clean it out and have a yard sale. Or at least make a trip to the dump. I told my daughter that I'd love to work in landscaping. I'd love to learn about plants and how they "work" and where to put them and what looks good together and especially do the work myself to take care of them. I know how to do sprinklers and I'm pretty sure I could learn how to do curbing and things like that. Maybe I should call around and see if there are any landscapers that need apprentices of the short, blonde, female, single, mom of 5 persuasion. hahaha!!!

My computer is on it's last leg. Literally. I'm in the market for a new one. I did a ton of research on Saturday and went to a few stores to look and check prices. The computer I really want will cost about $2,000.00. Problem? There is no way I can take on that much debt. The second choice is about $1,500.00 and the one I'm probably going to have to settle for is about $700.00. For now, I got a new memory stick and have putt all of my files on it just in case. I get so many error messages and it freezes up so much that every time it comes back on I breath a sigh of relief.

I took my van in for break and tire repairs on Saturday morning. Tomorrow, or soon after, I'll have to take it and have the engine checked. It sounds bad so I think I should take it in sooner than later just in case. No problem! I'll just skip out back to the money tree and give it a little shake before I go.

On June 30 my older kids are going to go to Virginia to spend time with my sister. They'll be back on the 10th of July. My little girls are going with their dad from July 2nd until the 17th. My middle daughter will be here with me unless I can find something for her to do. It's going to be really hard on her when she realizes that everyone has something to do or somewhere to go during that time except for her. And she is the most sensitive. I almost hope I'm not working so I can spend some time with her.

Well, gotta go. The kids' show is almost over. They had to stay up and see the season premier of their favorite Disney shows. I never let them stay up for that kind of thing since it will be on about 100 times over the next two weeks, but tonight I'm being a softy.
