Finding a job

8 days in-- nothing yet! Maybe I have been out of the loop for too long, ha! Anyway, my brother who just moved here from Oklahoma brought his girlfriend with him. She's a fun person whom I really enjoy. She found a job just like that. One person called and said she was over qualified-- must be nice... Me on the other hand having no real qualifications may take a little longer! I have not done a thing all summer and fall except the usual mommy duties cooking, cleaning, chauffeur, and coaching my daughter's cheer team. I am hoping one of the childcare positions I applied for calls today! That would be the ideal. I am really happy to have such a wonderful family. I thank God for them everyday. I know he will take care of me, but I can't help getting a little anxious with Christmas around the corner and four kids to feed. I love all the creative blogs I have seen on here. You guys are great!

Halloween Costumes for School

"Baby girl" as we lovingly call her is home sick today! She's had tummy bug and another little problem going on. The problem I have is not her being ill, it's that she picked out this adorable scarecrow girl costume for Halloween and now she says they have to dress up as a storybook character at school on Friday. Do any of you have the same problem? I feel like we always find these things out at the last minute. So- any ideas for a quick costume that can be made with very little effort at home? Halloween is my favorite time of year, but the schools methods of communication have got me down! She thought just now she might like to be Cindy Lou Who,so maybe that will work. She has a head start with her blond hair! Wish me luck!!
