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?

[Poll #990698]

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!

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.
