Dec. 1st, 2006 02:34 pmFor the record, I want to clarify that the weight gain scolding was totally called for and I deserved it. I've been scolding myself and I needed someone else to do it, too, for it to take. That particular midwife is my favorite, if for no other reason than that she tells it like it is. That works for me. And the four pound overage was four pounds over for the month, not the overall gain, which is why it's bad, because that means I'm gaining twice as fast as I should be. *wags finger at self*
Anyhoo. I've been really bored lately being home all this time. I did put in an application at the Children's Place, which said it was hiring for seasonal, but I haven't heard from them. I guess I should give them a call to find out what's going on. I could look into Gymboree, too. I think a smaller mall store would be better than a big, busy place like Target in case I need a bathroom run or a moment to sit down. And I loooooooooved working at a kid's clothing store when I lived in Vermont. A little discount wouldn't hurt either, but whatever.
I feel I'm going a little stir crazy with not working, though. And yeah, extra money would be nice, though I think we can squeak by for a few months since John finally got a raise and they gave it to him retroactive to July, giving us a big chunk to work with. That on top of my unused vacation time payout will help us manage until I'd be more in a position to take on a more regular job. It's the boredom that's bugging me more. I know that when the baby gets here, I'll be plenty busy, but I still think I could not be a full-time stay at home mom. I'd go nuts if I don't at least work part-time so I can have time outside of the house with adults. But that's just me.
In any case, I do have some Christmas projects to work on. After that, though, I may have to get myself doing some volunteer stuff for a little while so I don't pull my hair out.
