Another one down...

I have been trying for a while now to get a new job.... my hours where i am are fantastic but there has been a change in the ownership and staff and I think its about time I left.... and lets face it, there comes a certain age when you just don't want to be flipping hamburgers. sooooo... in the last few months I have put in 8 appplications - some of them up to 3 pages long once i answered all questions - with only two interviews, the last of which was yesterday and still no luck. I have tried admin - which is actually what I am trained for, Teachers Aide - also qualified, and yesterdays was for a school canteen - highly qualified.... I realise that I am lucky to have a job and am able to take these rejections without it effecting the family budget, I can only imagine how frustrating it is for all those unemployed out there... anyway another one is in the mail yesterday arvo so fingers crossed...

-days like this don't help to keep me motivated to stay where I am -

On the other hand Aaron had a great day at school on Wed... He came home with "good news"..
His friend Daniel had been away for two days and Aaron finds it hard to go up to the other boys in his class at lunch times so mainly hangs with a few of the girls... anyway at first lunch he was sitting on his own when one of the boys came up and asked him to sit with the group......ohhhhhhhh.... i so love Jordan at the moment. Aaron said he "listened to the boys lots and even said some things, not much" The point is that these kids like him and are very happy to include him all he has to do is join in. I am so proud of my little man at the moment he and Daniel both played cricket with the other boys in the class on Thur after Aaron got up the courage to ask if they could.

if anyone else out there has a kid with anxiety this is a great read with real life situations in it..

We have finally got rid of the old lounge out of the family room and replaced it with this...

it has made the room a bit bare but i think with a dispay shelf and picture it will be quite a nice space...

over the chrissy holidays Im going to try to make something like this for the wall. I found it here and it is made up from paint chips... I'll let you know how I go.

In other news Regan won a colouring in comp at school getting a $5 voucher from the canteen....

and we put up the tree on Dec 1 at Aarons strict instructions but haven't been able to decorate it yet as Regan hasn't been home since....

Till next time..
