Today, Barb is feeling: pretty good.

so kristene got her job at Wayland academy so that means that i will hardly ever see jim and her anymore. i will admit that i really like having jim and kristene and sen at home with us. i will miss them a ton when they leave. but they will be getting a house that Wayland will pay for. the only thing they have to pay for it tv, internet, and phone. so that is really wicked good for them. but it sucks for me because i will never see them. yea i know that they will only be like 3 hours away, but between their lives and my life, i will pretty much see them as much as i would have when they were on Saipan. like joe lives like 10 minutes away and i only see him once in a blue moon.

so blah blah blah. enough.
things are still going well.
getting the room in order a littel bit more everyday.

Today, Barb is feeling: hot, slightly tired, but happy.

so jim and i are cleaning the basement.
ok `correction, jim is cleaning and i am just helping to sort through the clothes.

i am done with training for the sportsmans guide and tomorrow is my first official day on the job. and then i have 2 days off and then 3 days on.

the cleaning of my room occurred.
kristene and i got everything, and i mean everything out. think clean sweep.
and then we put some things back in the room and re-arranged it. while we were taking a five minute break, it started to rain, so all the boxes had to be brought back in the house. pretty much as soon as all the boxes were in, the rain stopped. so i just have to go through the boxes and make the final decisions as to what is allowed back in the room and what i can get rid of. i already got rid of a bunch of stuff that jim and i took to the thrift store today.

i am washing all my clothes so i can finish going through them and put waht i want to keep in my room and give away the rest.

this weekend it is just jim and me. mom and dad went up north with their church friends for a canoeing weekend. kristene is with her dad going to washington dc to help her sister move all her stuff since she has a job in Okinawa, japan. and then we hope that kristene will hear about her job on thursday and then she should be coming back sometime towards the end of the week.
alrighyt, then,
laters!

Today, Barb is feeling: frustrated... yet again!

so the possible job is at sportsmans guide.
but i did apply at Borders Books. so i am not sure what is going on.
Sportsmans Guide is frustrating me because they are just kinda of giving me no answers.

so yea, it sucks.

6.14.2005

Today, Barb is feeling: great!

so i think that i have a job!
i had my first interview today, and they want me to come in and have a second interview today. so that is good news. and they were talking about the training that is starting nest week and the fact that they don't know how much training i will actually need, but i will be getting paid and so that is a very good thing. and i have 32 hours for sure that i will be working; monday, thursday, friday, and saturday nights. monday, thursday, and friday are 2.30 until 11pm and saturday 1.30 until 10 pm. so my nights will be shot, but that is aok with me. but i can have another night if i want it. so i am debating about taking another night, but i dont know.

so what do you think? should i pick up another night?

6.11.2005

Today, Barb is feeling: ignored.
people don't leave messages.
does that mean people don't like me?
that people have stopped reading my blog...

6.10.2005

Today, Barb is feeling: ok.
hey all, so guess what?
i think, Think, THINK, that i might have a job. now i don't know for sure yet, but i should know by monday for sure.

i have decided that i have a few new tv shows that i am addicted to.
so the first is
Fire Me... Please!
it is a show where people go to a new job for the first day and trys to get fired as close to 3 pm as possible. it is so incredibly funny!

the other show that i really like is Clean Sweep.
i think this is becuase i am getting ready for the "Clean Sweep" that Kristene and i are going to be having here at the hosue for Mom. we have decided that we are going to make mom clean the house of her stuff and get everything sorted to that she can live in a clean house. our idea is to do the living room, dining room, kitchen, and porch. the kitchen and dining room should not be that hard, it is the porch and living room. so if anyone has some free time and wants to be indebted to me for the rest of my life, lemme know and you can come and work with us!!!

later

Today, Barb is feeling: FRUSTRATED!!! frustrated to the extreme!

i feel like i can't get a job anywhere.
tinucci's doesn't want me.
tennis doesn't need me.
schneidermans still have a few days to get back to me.
best buy is just giving me the runaround like there is no tomorrow.
caribou has enough people, but may need me when they open up.
i applied at Supermoms, and so we will see about that.
i just feel really bored and frustrated.
i want a job. i need a job. and i am a hard worker and should be hired. but the world is conspiring against me. grrrr

Today, Barb is feeling: kinda sad

i am still here.
i am still trying to find a job.
Jim and Kristene are back and so that is really fun.
they brought back their dog Sen. and so that is fun.
yea, there is not much going on.
jim and kristene are leaving for beaver dam today in a few hours.
they have spend the first week here. it was reall funny, on tuesday they got here and like no more than 2 hours after Jim got into the house, he got a call for an interview at Breck school. apparently they are a very houghty toughty school to teach at. and so on friday he had an all day interview there. we are not sure how it went. but he spend all day there.

and so they are leaving to go to Beaver Dam. kristene has a job interview with the school there. so she has an interview there to work at the school. so we don't know when we are going to know about who gets what job and where they are going to live. i hope they live here in the cities, but it all depends on the job situation.

so jim and kiristene will be in beaver dam for like about 2 weeks. the first week is for the job interview and for kristenes reunion. then the nest week there is a family reunion on the East Coast for kristenes family and so they are doing that also. after that, they are coming back here in Newport.

joe and kim are doing good. they are training for their huge month long uni europe trip. the house is doing good. they have a really nice rhubarb patch that we get rhubarb from every once in a while. so yea that is them.

ummm, Cori is VERY pregnant and she is going to pop soon. so that is exciting that we get another baby that i will know! ok then
