msbelle, hope you get some constructive feedback.

So I'm sitting on the couch,watching a new Bones, glass of wine in hand. Kid one has put himself to bed (is watching spongebob for a bit) and kid two totally passed out right after finishing his dinner, sometime before 7. I guess that means I did good? Nothing too exciting today, lots of playing cars and trains, running around outside with the hose, spelling quizzing.

Tomorrow I get them both dropped off at the preschool by 7, and then off to the pool for me. I'll pick up Tyler after and we'll probably go to the park or something.

This weekend, we have the options of the zoo, Science Center, Botanical gardens, and just fooling around. Might see if I can get them into the Y for a bit of swimming (for them, nsm for me.)

Probably going to survive this without them thinking I am too boring...

And I might just get to the point driving my brother's car where it doesn't sound like I'm in a drag race...

Oh & I'm doing loads of laundry. And did dishes all day. I swear, children generate so much of both!

Yes, yes they do. Though some of it is just sheer numbers of humans. I mean, of course 4 people make more dishes than I did when I lived alone!

Kid one keeps popping back up. Given he was up late last night and this is starting to be past his bedtime... but he's not disruptively popping up. Just wandering out "Still awake!" and he wanders back with chips or carrots (the canned kind, ewww.) So I really am not inclined to bring the hammer down.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

thank you all for the kind words, I do think this guy is a tool, but I also need to be aware of how at least some local HR people see things. I will be adding an "Objective" sentence to the top of the resume to make it clear that I am looking for an administrative support position. I think I will also move my skills section up to highlight the proficiencies in technologies. I may add in teeny tiny font somewhere "hire me or I will cut you".

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

That should be more subliminal, msbelle. Like a watermark.

As someone who grew up in "dive bars & serial killers" land, I can confirm that there isn't a shortage of either.

Just don't use Comic Sans Serif or Steph will cut YOU!

Why do the Carolinas have fashion bloggers?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I, too, am confused.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Or Papyrus.

(The font, that is. I think a resume on real papyrus would be keen.)
