I can take a hint

My blog misses me. Sooo funny. I can take a hint! Truth is, I've been kind of hiding from the world. Things are starting to suck here. I've been applying for jobs steadily since I got here three months or so ago and nothing has materialized. I'm not even getting a chance...I've had exactly two, count them, TWO interviews since I've been here. Either competition is fierce or they see my resume, assume I wouldn't work for what they want to pay (which is incorrect), and don't bother to call me. That's even when I send a follow up letter. It has reached the point that I pulled out my cell phone the other day to call my house phone. I was *sure* that I'd been writing the wrong phone number on my applications. Nope, it was right. I'm more than qualified for what I'm applying for, so I don't know what the problem is. Even the factories aren't calling me and all the local job office can do is take my resume over and over again for the jobs that come open through their office. It's crazy and depressing, especially considering my house still isn't sold. Not only isn't it selling, it isn't even being shown because the market apparently died a couple of months ago. I feel completely frustrated and helpless on both ends.

So with all that going on, I've been very down in the dumps. Money is really tight, John is having to work a lot of weekend ball games and things to make some extra cash. I will say the school pays very well for those things....$40/pop for a few hours of taking money. That will probably carry us through, but with Christmas coming on, I'm really starting to feel the pinch. Plus, that means I don't see him much. Katy is always at some activity and that leaves me and Shona to entertain one another. At least she enjoys artsy stuff like her mom.
