Silence is Not Golden

I wish the phone would ring and it be some good news about a job for R rather than a family member, a friend or some stupid telephone solicitor. Don't get me wrong I like having friends/family call so we can chat and catch up about life but there is this certain heart jump when I hear the ring only to be followed by the sink when the caller ID reveals that it's definitely not from Arling.ton, VA or another job related company.

On a good note there have been some other jobs that have been added to the table so at least our options are expanding. R has had plenty of time since I've been done with work to devote even more time than he did when he was watching the kids, to job searching and all the rigmarole that goes into the process. It's just frustrating because everyone moves so damn slow.

Babysitting is going wonderful! I think all the details are ironed out from the showing up late and changing plans the night before episodes that we had in the beginning. The mom e-mailed me a weekly schedule for this week and though there was a late night there were some later mornings to balance it out so things are going well. The baby eats, sleeps, gets his diaper changed and then repeats that cycle throughout the whole day. We occasionally have some play time but for the most part he's still in infant sleep all the time mode. Speaking of he's awake now so I must be going.
