a comment

ok, so the library has stupid security settings and I can post on blogger, but not comment?  weird.  So anyway, this is really a "comment" in reply to amber's "lowe's update" request. :)


Lowes  is maybe not looking sooo good.  Jeremy went in today for his second interview, and he for sure can have a job, but for some reason they thought he wanted a part-time job, but that is only 10-20 hours a week (lucky if you actually get 20), and so he wouldn't make nearly enough for us to warrant staying another month.  The guy who interviewed him said he would "see what he can do", so maybe he'll figure something out...in the meantime, I applied for about 7 more jobs just now, and have a couple more positions to mail ym resume to. We'll see!  If we don't have jobs lined up by the end of next week though, it looks like we'll be packing up and moving in with the in-laws...we're going over to help with his parents VBS for a few days (assuming neither of us are working), so we'll probably be making space for us to move our stuff and get rooms ready.  We haven't heard back from the Pastor in Tacoma again yet, either, but we understand that he is pretty busy, and it probably isn't something that would happen immediately anyway.


Well, I'm out of internet time!  In other news, Shea has offically figured out how to climb out of his crib at night!  It was so funny the other night...he was complaning because he threw ALL of his pillows and bink out of the crib, so I let him deal with the consequences of throwing it out.  Eventually he got quiet, and I figured he decided to go to sleep.  Then I hear this knocking noise and say, "noo he couldn't have gotten out of his crib!".  I ran into the bedroom and there he is, standing at the door with a huge grin on his face and goes "HI!!!".  haha.  I just about lost it laughing.  So we turned it into a toddler bed the other day, and after one naptime of me sitting outside his door reminding him to stay in bed for 40 minutes until he fell asleep, he is now a big boy "pro".  His bedtime routine has always involved some combination of books or singing, but I've started making bedtime extra special for him, and it seems to be working - he just loves the reading and cuddling and singing time with mommy, and now its so nice to just lay on his bed next to him and talk.  I LOVE it.  And its good, because now when his bink falls out at night, he can just get up and get it.  And in the morning he doesn't yell to get out of his crib - he just knocks on his door quietly.

that was a long comment. ;P  I'm going home now, and then off to Emery's (Shea's cousin) 2nd birthday party.  Tomorrow my friend Mia and her son Devin are meeting up with us and we're going to the church we've been attending on and off for a community BBQ, so I'm thankful for some fun things this weekend to keep our minds off of jobs until we hear something next week!
