Job search…

Job search…

So… I don’t have a job.

Well, I kind of do. I’m Jared’s full-time maid and cooking service, along with doggie care-taker. But the problem is, I would like to help build up the money reserves so we can get a home sooner than later and am not sure what to do about that.

I do have my English Teaching degree, but there’s a few problems with that. First off, there’s the whole getting my license transfered over to Texas, as Texas doesn’t accept the praxis. Secondly, there is my health issue. We still haven’t gotten my headaches figured out, and teaching is stressful, which generally makes the headaches worse. It’s also hard to take a sickday when you are needed like that. Third, even if I could get a job by fall, the first year is the worst with lesson planning on top of grading and all that stuff. So.. for now, teaching is out.

which leaves an open void in my life… what to do with myself? What can you do with an English major. I used to have some ideas, but they all disappeared….

On a more positive note, I found a picture of the cake I made for Jared last year for the wedding!

Grooms Cake

Much prettier than the one I made for his birthday. 🙂 of course, this one I had been planning to do for a month- the other one was a last minute idea.

I’m already thinking of different things I could do for next year! 😀

  1. Don’t worry it will work out perfectly! I bet you will find the perfect job!

  2. Wow-I can never ice cakes that well, very impressive.

    It’s so rough feeling like you have nothing to do and you’re stuck. Plus I’m sure you feel lonely and isolated since you just moved. If you need to talk about it just let me know and we can chat or something-I’ve been where you are now and most people just don’t understand.

    Have you been to a homeopath or naturopath for your headaches? If a western type doctor can’t diagnose your headaches that’s probably a good way to go as they look at your entire wellness and may find something a western doctor missed.

  3. Every time I see that cake I start salivating 🙂 We’ll figure something out to fill that open void in your life!!

  4. I have a great idea to fill that void in your life…I hear you’re NOT ready for that yet!! 🙂 Enjoy this time in your life when it’s not so crazy and full of responsibility! Try something you’ve always wanted to do but never had time for. Do something fun! Maybe you’ll think of a way to make money and friends with it too! Love you!
