Oops, this might not be good

Hubby's been looking for a job the last few weeks. Mainly because of a cumulating of issues that have been ongoing with this company ever since we moved. Friday Morning hubby is told to put documenting job procedures as his top priority, um ok, he's been doing this for a while since they are suppose to be hiring someone to take over part of his job. Friday afternoon his boss calls him in and tells him he knows he's looking. Apparently the boss was quite thrilled to find a resume on monster.com from someone with qualifications in the right kind of systems in this area till he saw who the resume was from. He asked Hubby if it was because of him, Hubby, while not denying he's a hard person to work for told him truthfully, but tactfully, that it had more to do with the owner's and how the company is run.

I'm still trying to figure out how you're suppose to look for a job now days without letting your employer know. The few nibbles he's had have been from people contacting him, not him sending his resume out.

I'm starting to wonder if this may not mean another move is in our near future. While there are some jobs here they are limited, he's looked at the job postings in other cities we are thinking of possibly someday wanting to move too and there seem to be a lot more openings. Actually one of the nibbles was for a contract job in Omaha, which is one of the area's we think would be possible.

See we've pretty much decided we want to make 1 (read ONE) more move in our lives. We really would like to be closer to family and in the mid-west somewhere in the area of a triangle from Mpls, to Des Moines to Omaha. We aren't lovin' KY and I do want to some day end up living out on a hobby farm somewhere (since inner city ain't gonna happen with hubby). But dudes I am SO not in the mood to move again right now.

#1 is starting Kindergarten tomorrow, #2 starts preschool in a couple weeks, no other place or state is going to let him be in the 3yr old class with a Sept 5th B-day. I still don't have a group of friends here, and one of my 2 friends is moving away, but I've gotten so busy I don't care, at least not right now, well (ok, maybe a teeny tiny bit when I heard about the MNO on Candy's blog). Plus Hubby and I have found a church we've been to twice now and so far we both like it...This in itself is monumental. The last one we agreed on is the one we got married in, and honestly I'd have taken anything halfway acceptable at that point, I was so tired of fighting over it. Plus our house has so much work needing done before we could rent it out, much less sell it. Basically I'm starting to settle in. Every other time I've felt this way we've upped and moved........And I thought life with hubby might get boring.

    There is a house for sale in our neighborhood. We have a great school and I can get you a job at the local YMCA.

    Think about it...
