Beginnings

At least I hope. I have a job interview lined up and have applied to several others. One is a referral from someone who works at an advertising agency. I hope that one of them will see me as a good candidate.


What I need is to take any job offered to me right now. It will bring in a little income and add experience in the field to my resume. 


I need to remember to be confident during my interviews. I can do the job and pretty well at that. I need to remember that I need a job to take care of my family. I have spent time as a wife and mom and now need to do more on the financial end. 


I need to find ways to encourage my husband to do the same. He's been out of work for years with back pain and depression. He needs to rebuild the confidence to work and get things done. I need him to do a fair share. The last few months he hasn't done much, but the last couple of weeks he has been doing better. He cleaned the living room and did the laundry. After much prompting he also has washed the dishes a couple of times. I do the pots and pans in the sink and he loads plates, bowls, glasses, and flatware into the dishwasher. I feel like he spends more time sitting around playing on the internet than doing anything else. I got homework done ahead of due dates and am always getting up to do things for the kids. I need him to do the same. He complains that he is tired and doesn't know why, but he won't get up and start moving for the day, so he never wakes up in the first place.
