Desperation will set in soon. I can feel it mounting.
It’s not like I’m not searching for employment. Maybe I’m just looking in all the wrong places. At any rate, I just put the child in day care this week. The structure and social setting have done him worlds of good. He kept saying, “I wanna go work.” He calls day care “work.” It’s toe-curlingly cute; his vocabulary and sentence structure are growing every day! He sorely misses the day care he was in before we moved, and I regret having to remove him from such a great environment. But here we’re paying half the tuition, which is great.
I miss my work, too. Finding a new job is scary — all the unknown factors. I don’t know if I’ll find something in this town that’s as good as the job I just left. Certainly I can hope for that or better, but at this point my hope is waning. I hate the task of having to sell myself just to get a frickin’ job.
Here’s a pic of my son from Father’s Day 2007, age 1.5 year:

He is such a cutie!
I wish you lots of luck in finding a job soon. I understand how soul-destroying job hunting can be. I’m glad I at least have the job at Borders, but I’m still a-huntin for a full time job myself.
*hugs* I miss you!!

Great picture.
No doubt just when you don’t expect it and from a completely unexpected angle something will show up.
