Well, I FINALLY have a job! Thursday, the law firm offered me a permanent position as a legal secretary. It pays well, it seems nice from the couple weeks I've been there, and since I hadn't heard anything regarding any of the PR jobs I'd sent my resume in for, I accepted it. However, since then, 3 requests for interviews have come in...one was ( Read more... )

I feel like the worst Mom in the world! This morning I was getting Cordelia dressed to go to daycare and was going to trim her nails (which is no easy task since she's the wiggliest baby in the universe) and just as I was getting started, I CUT THE TIP OF HER THUMB with the nailclippers!!! She cried and she was bleeding and I was trying to hold ( Read more... )

Hmmm...sad rude boys?

So, I got a rejection letter from the Chamber, and I guess I didn't get that other job I interviewed for this week...I wish I could get some sort of feedback, did I do or say something wrong?

(This probably means their facility is miles away from anywhere decent to have ( Read more... )

I was just so overwhelmed with thinking that I was never going to have a baby that I couldn't bring myself to go see her. This past weekend, my daughter and I went to that baby ( Read more... )

Cordelia has finally started cooing. We have these conversations where I say things to her like "Who's the cutest baby in the whole wide world?" and she smiles and squeaks and I say "That's right, it's YOU ( Read more... )

I haven't posted much lately because my life is NOT very interesting lately, aside from keeping VERY busy taking care of Cordelia. It's amazing how demanding a non-verbal, non-mobile little person can be!

The job hunt is not going well. I don't know what's going wrong. I'm just not hearing ANYTHING. It's very frustrating and very
