wedding I can easily explain away why I had this short term stint, once I get in the door. But I worry that it may hinder my ability to get in the door. I know when I have reviewed resumes, anyone who looked like a 'job jumper' immediately went into the 'NO' pile. Even though I was at my last job for 5 years and the prior job for 4, both of which have reasonable explanations for leaving. I don't know...I feel like at this point in my career, I should be in my 'home' and not still searching. Obviously it didn't hurt me with this job I'm interviewing for. My resume clearly states I have only been here since March and they still called me. O have reviewed resumes for a large part of my career and while I agree about not liking a job jumper, I do think this is different. You have 2 long term jobs, then this job that is only a few months. That can easily be explained that you took the job and it's not a fit, you want to get out before you both invest more time. I don't think it's a deal breaker. Now if you had 2 or 3 back to back short stints, that would be another thing.

He threw a fit when I asked him to take M to work with him this morning while I took H to the dr. He acted like she was making it up that her stomach hurt because it only happens on Sunday night. Nope, it has happened every night for the past several weeks. Do you not listen to your kid? I'm annoyed. I realized kids can complain about feeling ill when they don't want to do something, but this is not one of those situations.

klong11 $80 for riding pants? I don't even pay that for pants I wear all day! I can't imagine paying that for pants my kid will wear for an hour daily and outgrow in less than a year! Yeah, I just heard the total and thought it made sense because of the helmet and boots. I never even thought about the leggings. I need to pay better attention.

I enjoy board games... for adults. I loathe kids games. There are a few I don't mind and I always try to convince them to play those. But they always want to play the mind numbing ones (like chutes and ladders) I love board games and cards, too! Does anyone on this board play Mahjong? I think I'd love it! I have played mahjong, it’s fun! I haven’t played since before H was born but I’d play again.

This is something I would have done...it's easy to do when you're buying multiple things that you don't usually buy. I try to pay attention when I'm throwing stuff in the cart, but then am always shocked when I hear the total. So I get it!

I’m having a day already. I took the kids to the zoo this morning because we are having beautiful weather. We left the zoo to S scream/crying “I will behave!”. I’m currently laying with V and I think I’ll stay in here as long as possible to avoid the bickering. I am so ready for school to start.

We have open house Friday night, then he goes for half day Monday, off 2 days, and first full day a Thursday. This summer has flown by, but we were on the road for like one whole month:

I think the interview went well, but its hard to say.
I got the feeling if they make an offer, they are going to make the position more of a management role, based off my experience and salary. But she said they have other interviews this week.
So I'm not getting my hopes up.

Well due to rain and mud they didn't do any actual riding today, but went around meeting all the horses. Cadence said it was great.
She also said she loved acting camp. They are doing Alice in Wonderland and she's going to be the white rabbit in Friday's little show. She has to have her lines memorized by Wednesday.

C and I start September 1, the other kids start September 2. They go for 2 days then have a 4 day weekend due to back-to-back Labor Day followed by Rosh Hashanah. My new little preschoolers start September 3rd for 1 day, then have a 4 day weekend! trtlcrzy the bickering is sooo awful with my boys. The almost 14 year old doesn’t understand why I get extra pissed at him for fighting with a 3 year old. I love my summer but there is a big part of me counting down to school. Thank god DD is still sweet and helpful at 11. Tonight they are showing Grease on the beach. I’m hoping to get the little boys to bed and then go watch it with DD. Tomorrow, DH and DS1 are going home for a few days and my friend is coming and spending the night.

MH, the boys, and MIL went to the park. I have the house to myself for a bit and I’m savoring it. Since I have to do drop off for M tomorrow I get to sleep in an extra hour. Woohoo! Now if I can just get to sleep on time maybe I won’t feel like a zombie in the morning.
