ok... so...

What have I been doing with myself now that I am single and not a mom (at least for 24 hours or so)? Well, MY and I went to the movies last night. He’s such a nice guy. He called me up to see if I wanted to go out to the movies. Personally, I think Bear is having people keep tabs on me so I don’t go to “the job”. He isn’t happy.

We saw Clerks 2. What can I say? It was A Kevin Smith movie. It was NO WHERE near as good as the first one (well, no shit) and it had its moments of me wondering why the hell I was there. About twelve frat boys sat behind us. They laughed at everything and made comments before the movie started. Through the movie though it was comment free. How nice.

This morning I went to a Nia class. It was interesting. It was very hippie. VERY.VERY. HIPPIE. In fact, it was almost too hippie for me. But you know what? I got out of the house, to the gym and I didn’t have to worry about Nut being kicked out of the Kid’s Zone because he cries. The last time he got kicked out because he wanted to be held and cried. Well what the FUCK do you expect?!? He’s a baby!!!!

Wasn’t hired at the “Let me walk down the street with the sex workers and druggies shooting up in front of the place” job. It wouldn’t’ have paid back my stipend anyway. Turned down Vineyards (yeah, I know. Now I am being picky). I had an interview yesterday at this group home, level 10, where I would do case management and therapy. I have a feeling though that might be glorified babysitting. The job I interviewed for on the 24th was gardening with paranoid schizophrenics. 15.07 an hour. You are kidding me, right? At least yesterday’s interview required a master’s degree.

I also got to phone calls with interview options. One was a part time at a DV shelter, which I had to nip in the bud because it was part time. The other I am awaiting a return call from them but I was a “Strong candidate” according to the message.

Today I got an email from a group who want to do a phone interview with me on the 7th. Excellent. All these jobs, by the way, are in the Kelberey and Oakville area. In other words, close by.

I am going to go do Bear’s ASL homework for him now and work on the VA application.

Oh, and try to stay cool.

Glad you got to a movie, at least it gets your mind off life's unpleasantness for a while.; 12:50 PM
Nut's mom said...: you know, I had a c-section too and my stomach is no where near as strong as it used to be. now, I was making fun of it, but I REALLY liked the Nia thing. I love to dance and I was the youngest person there. I have really bad knees and this was great for them; 1:01 PM
