Little of this, little of that

It is supposed to be positively amazing outside today - so exciting! Too bad I will be trapped in the office. At least I comped tomorrow off so I have a nice 4-day weekend. This is good, because we have high expectations for chores this weekend. We're hoping to really get the kid room into shape and also do /something/ with our horrible yard. Man, it's like a jungle. I guess step one is to get a lawnmower. Whoops.

We have to brave the MALL tonight. Wish me luck. I hate the mall. More than the mall, I hate Babies R Us. It creeps me out. Too many hormones in one spot coupled with too many overpriced, unnecessary products. I hope we survive! I need to get some breast pump replacement parts, and I don't think people like to buy those as gifts. Drat.

Yesterday I received a postcard in the mail from one of the local social service agencies that deals with children and families. They are having a big Employment Open House in the beginning of June, and I think it could be a good opportunity to meet some people and spread my resume around. (I guess this is me getting out of "have to go back to work" denial...) My concern is that I will look ridiculous going to a job fair on June 4 or so when I am hoping not to return to work until September or October. So what do you guys think?

Thanks in advance. I will probably end up going regardless, and it's not like it's not obvious WHY I don't want to start until the fall, so it can't really hurt to check them out at least, right? It's a good way to network at the very least. I think, anyway.

My belly currently looks like it is hula-hooping by itself. It is going around and around. On other people I think that is incredibly freaky, but on me? It's just cool. Double Standard Kid wins again!

I had a full on anxiety attack in BRU on Monday. I plan to stay away from there for a while.

I think once I know WHAT I need to get when I'm in there, I will feel much better. What's so frustrating about Monday afternoon was that I didn't feel like I was stressed or anxious. AHHHH...the joys of motherhood!

See, it's impossible to think about what you NEED at BRU because they don't care what you NEED, they want you to get everything. When we registered there, the woman who took our registry stuff was like, "Don't you need a Diaper Genie? Don't you need a ______?" over and over. It was CRAZY.

Start dates are negotiable. Most employers don't bat much of an eyelash at under 90 days. Last time I switched jobs I took the month of April off for my birthday.

But most social service jobs are in "desperation hiring" and are looking for immediate vacancies. But I guess I can go next week and see what happens. :)

Besides, I think you're much more valuable than I am.
