Day 45 and no job. I am starting to go a little, alright a lot of crazy. I have applied for about 13 admin jobs. You would think someone wants a secretary. I am thinking about applying for a job at the coffee shop I like to go to in the mornings, The Olive Branch,they are hiring.
I love working, I love having a job, I love knowing I contribute income to the household.
Now…we are getting ready to move into our new home. This is our first home not provided by the government. I have fantasies about staying at home, baking, cleaning, gardening. I think that requires money though doesn’t it? I want to ask all these other young, unemployed spouses, how do you maintain a shopping, fix the house lifestyle on a fixed income? I have feeling it was something to do with credit.
I am super tired of HGTV. Maybe I can get them to come and do up our house.
So which do I want? House manager, office manager? It looks like it will be house manager for a while. Now I need to find out how these house mangers stay happy because I think it will be novel for a few weeks and then I am going to need drugs.

FIRST:
LOL!
Get hooked up with the doctor that will be supplying the drugs, make a retainer payment and put him on speed dial.
SECOND
Be prepared to not shop too much cause the whole “groovy balance” thing comes in the way you save money just like how you can spend it when you’re working.
Make it a challenge, (and believe me, it’s a challenge!) and get creative with it! Planning meals and coupon clipping and all that jazz. (I ,personally, suck at that crap, but I know I could do better!)
Oh, and don’t get too concerned with what popular media thinks… I have it on good authority that they really don’t give a damn.
