So, it’s been a rough week in our house. It all started on Monday. I got home from work, and The Boy was napping. When he woke up, he was crying and coughing and I kinda thought he was going to throw up, but thankfully he did not. Anyway, he told me that [...]

I have written a lot of resumes. If I had to guess, I would say that it’s probably near the 1,000 mark. In previous jobs, it was my responsibility to write killer resumes for people with less than stellar work histories….for example, maybe they had never worked in their career of choice, maybe [...]

We all fail, it’s a part of life. But, another truth is this, for darkness to exist, there must be light. Therefore, for failure to exist, triumph must also. Find your triumph learn from them both. Kids can teach us this quite easily.

Now, on to the subject at hand. I’ve noticed a lot of articles recently about whether or not one should relocate for employment. Being a person who just relocated, and because I [...]

I don’t know how this post fits into our little blog here, but it’s so exciting that I just have to fill you in! The Girl is entering first grade next week, and so we’ve been doing the whole school-shopping thing. Well, she’s so little that it’s next to impossible to find pants to fit [...]

Well, it’s been a little over a week since Brian started his second job, and it’s been rough. I forgot how hard it is to coordinate schedules when we are both working. Here is what last week looked like:
Monday
8-4 (approximately) – I worked
4:30 – I got home
Correction: I had that day off. [...]

Well, it is apparent that if I do not step up and write a blog here, well, it isn’t going to write itself. So when I think of what to write about on our blog I honestly am not sure what to go with. I don’t want to just ramble off a lot of witless rhetoric, [...]

As I sit here trying to decide if I feel like buying a Sunday paper, I thought I would post my opinion on the use of classifieds for finding employment. I think the consensus among most professional is that newspaper classifieds are definitely old school, and the big job boards, or online classifieds (like Monster [...]

I hate to cook. There is not one chore that I loathe more than cooking. Ok, that’s an exaggeration…I loathe most chores. But cooking has to happen every day. And I especially hate cooking on days when Brian is working in the evening, like tonight. My kids are so [...]
