Well I am very happy to say that I think I finally found the perfect job for me and my family. I am not sure when I start or what the official hours will be, but I have been busy all week preparing, I have gotten fingerprinted, drug tested, and had a tour of where I will be working and a brief job description. I am very excited to start and cannot wait to see if this indeed is the perfect fit, It almost seems to good to be true. I have been told I will be working part-time and can work around my schedule, I will be visiting pt's homes and observing there caregivers care for them and doing a short evaluation of there services. I will also be teaching a class to new caregivers on how to care for there pt's in the safest way. The pay is amazing and at an unheard rate for a new Grad, so again I cannot wait to begin and hope it all ends up as good as it sounds. Of course as soon as I found a job I have had more calls for interviews, isn't that the way it always works.
Andrew has signed up for another season of baseball and is excited to begin playing once again, he is also still doing Scouts, but hating every moment of it, but mom is making him stick with it bc I feel it will be a great accomplishment for the future. He is getting his report card home today and we are all hoping for A/B honor roll but not sure it is going to happen..we'll see.
Mommy has signed Kayla up for ballet and we are both excited for it to begin, I have waited years to watch My little girl dance around in a pink tutu..he he. Kayla is loving school and has many many friends, she is always helping the teachers and the littlest kids in the class, she is def a little mommy.
Kris is due to be home this Wed and we are all very happy to welcome him home, he has been missed alot these two past weeks, and he gets to be home for pine wood derby for scouts!
We have found out we will be welcoming a new little baby niece into our family towards the end of may and are soooo happy about the addition of a little girl to our boy over run family..We are all ready for the adventures to come.

Job Interview
Well today I have a Job interview and I am so hoping, not only for a perfect fit, but that they choose me :) or maybe just that they don't have anyone else to choose from. The only thing I know is it is a part-time job and it's for a company called home instead, everything else is a mystery but I am very excited and optimistic. We shall see what happens.

JOB DRAMA
So I know its been a while since I posted anything new, but everyone knows how time can just get away from you and so the story goes.
I have been very diligently searching for a job. I have even broken down and made my first ever resume, and think I did a good job. While I had been so against making one it seems as though every position Say's please send resume, and as I still find it to be incredible wasteful of my time and theirs I did it(conform isn't that what they say) As a new grad with no prior experience I find it silly to send out a resume as a professional and list bar tending as my major accomplishment in life, according to them that is. If only all my major(I think) accomplishments as a mother meant anything. I would be well experienced and qualified, but instead I'm called only to be asked " what have you been doing for the past 6yrs? If only I could put into words the last six amazing years spent with my kids, what have I not been doing? being a mom ,a mentor, a coach, a volunteer, a teacher, a nurse, a reader, a artist, a major multi -task er, heading up a household of four w/ no major injury, a councilor, a tutor, a cheerleader. and all for free I might add. So YES you should hire me b/c if I don't know how to do it bet me I learn. But apparently that's not what they want to hear b/c STILL no job. hehe
I have called every hospital in Pensacola a few times and have filled out many, many,did I mention Many applications and have been told numerous stories, a few consisting of ; "oh maybe you should volunteer at our hospital and then you would get an IN" or sorry but there are just too many Rn's out there, we can be picky and get the ones with experience or the best one OHHHH your a New Grad sorry I can't help you.
And so the story goes hear I am 8months post Graduation and still no job. I am paying back my student loans and still no job. I refuse to give in or give up and work full-time, a part-time job that's all I'm asking for. I am still confident that its out there somewhere that perfect job for me and until the phone rings I will continue to fill out applications and call people over and over. I didn't go to school and be away from my family for three years to settle for a job I don't want soo I wait.

The days in the life of
Nothing exciting to speak of happening around the Nichols house lately. New Years Eve is over and I am happy to report all my brothers and sisters made it threw safe and sound. I cannot help but worry on New Years Eve, with all the craze's and Drunks out there, it is always a sigh of relief when I know everyone has pulled threw unscathed.
Drew and Kayla start back to school this Tuesday and while I am not looking forward to all the homework battles, taxi driving, early mornings,and not being able to just hang w the kids. I am ready for a much needed break from a little 4yr old, who enjoys climbing on and over me 24/7. It will be sooo nice to go grocery shopping alone and clean the house and even get my nails done.
On a second note,When the kids go back, my serious job hunt begins, I WILL find a job and it WILL be Part-time and a perfect fit for me and my family. That is what I am putting out there and I am not going to take anything less. I am very positive that the right job is just around the corner. Seriously, I am now paying back student loans, and still have no job...and that is pretty sad :(
Kris is still doing well and planes to attend another class to upgrade his licence in February, I see him growing increasingly sick of not being home and has said "I just want to come home"...It breaks my heart! He is just hanging on until he is threw w/ school and finds a private yacht job, but it looks to still be about a year away.He has always been Strong and Stubborn and I'm sure he will find what he is looking for BC he doesn't give up, that's one of those things I love about him.
Days come and days go and we all seem to Grow, Healthy,Happy, Together and in love and I don't think I need anything else in the world as long as I have that. My family is my strength.
Till we meet again.
