Job hunting

I knew it might be tough to find a job but it is turning out to be tougher than I thought it was going to be. I have been job hunting, searching, looking what ever you call it for months now and I haven't found a job yet. I am tired of looking for a job and would love for a job to fall into my lap. I did find something tonight that looks good and will send in a resume tomorrow morning. I hope that I hear something from one of the jobs I have applied for.

old friend maybe not anymore

I have a friend (maybe she isn't a friend anymore) that hasn't spoken to me in many many years. Ok i take that back she did return a phone call this past summer but it was the first time in something like 7 years. We talked for a bit and then she had to go. She said she would call me that weekend. That was August of 2009 and I still haven't had a call back or even a email. I keep telling myself that she will someday return my call, email or show up on my doorstep. I don't seem to be able to let her go. About a year or so ago I had a dream that she showed up on my doorstep with her daughter and wanted to stay with me for awhile. I had a feeling this past weekend that, that still might happen. Why is it I can't let her go? It is me that is pushing this relationship and clearly she doesn't want it. Someone tell me why I can't let her go. It drives me nuts. I don't know why she stopped talking with me and if there was something I had done to make her want to stop.
Ok venting done.

this that and other things. May a bit of balance would help.

I haven't posted for a few weeks. I can't believe I am this busy and unemployed. First as a single mom I get to do it all. Cooking, cleaning, shopping, getting the car serviced, taking the cats to the vet, making sure my daughter has when she needs and yes sometimes getting a few minutes to myself. So when I became unemployed last year I thought wow some down time for me. Well sure I get a few extra minutes to myself when I can get my daughter to sleep past 6am or when I make time to read, but wow I am not sure how I got it all done when I had a job. I still don't seem to get it all finished now. Yes I get to sleep until 6:30 am now instead of 5:45am if I am lucky and my child plays in her room but OMG I don't get it. I still have stuff that I am behind on and I am not working. Ok I vented and feel that much better now.

I belong to the career center as per unemployment's request and now just belonging to the career center is a job in itself. They gave me this pre-employment test that an employer might give to get a base line on where you are at. Well I know I have never done well on math and I fell flat on my face with the math part of the test. They said I should bulk up my math skills and I should go and have a review at the GED prep class that they have. Well I heard that and said wait I finished school many years ago....well I went and I am reviewing fractions. Oh crap I now know why I didn't like math. FRACTION suck. I haven't used a fraction since high school and I don't know if I ever will but I now know how to add, subtract, mulitly and divide fractions. Since I am going to this class I haven't had as much time to look for a job. I need to find a balance between looking for a job, taking this class, doing other things for the career center that they have asked me to do, picking my daughter up by 2 and getting all the stuff around my house done. Oh and making it to my WW meetings. I don't seem to have enough time. I guess I really need to find a job and then maybe I will have time to get thigs done.
Wish me luck and say a little pray that I find a great job soon.
