Finding a JOB

So today was somewhat productive. Since Tom lost his job I’ve been looking for one. I obviously feel pretty guilty saying I’m a stay at home mom with no income what so ever. So we went out searching. Just parttime work because 1) child care is SO expensive 2) we’re kind of banking on Tom finding another job pretty quickly. I’ve been wanting to go back to work anyway. Staying at home feels like more work than an actual job sometimes. Not that I don’t love spending time with my daughter, I’d just like some adult interaction.
Also, Tom took the ASVAB two days ago and heard back from his recruiter today. I guess his score greatly improved since his practice test (which was good in the first place) and the recruiter said he opened up a lot of doors for himself. (If only he could make up his mind.) So we’re moving forward with that. I just have to get some paper work in order, as in, find my daughter’s birth certificate. OOPS.
I’m also trying to figure out what we’re doing for Christmas. I’m on the verge of saying HEY! Lets rent a huge place out so my huge Italian side of the family, my petite Dutch side, and all of Tom’s family can eat at once. Because quite frankly I’m not looking forward to driving half an hour to my moms, then half an hour to his moms, then BACK the other way to my grandpas, just to end up BACK towards his moms (where we live close by). Did ya follow that? It’s a waste of a day if you ask me. Ah well, apparently Tom’s mom may not even be able to get off of work for Christmas.
Speaking of Christmas’, Tom was a super Grinch today. He feels awful for losing his job right before the holidays and like Isabella will resent him because of her lack of presents (she’s 3 months, I’m going to guess she doesn’t remember). I’ve been trying to cheer him up with decorating and telling him of all the fun traditions we do at my grandpas that DOESN’T revolve around presents. But I don’t think he’s buying it. Oh well. In 10 days it will all be over and no one will care anymore.
I'm still looking forward to the holidays. I think this is the first actual Christmas that I don't care about what I'm getting. When my mom asked me what I wanted I told her dish towels and glasses, because ours mysteriously break.
I'm more looking forward to seeing family that I haven't seen since last year...
...and showing my beautiful daughter off.
