All my free time recently has been spent searching classified ads on the internet, with the exception of this past weekend, which I spent in the bed, sick. 

I have been searching for two major life changing situations, again!  I need a rental house & a new job.  I've been searching steady for about 2 wks now.  This week things feel a little slow going.  There doesn't seem to be as much available in either catergory as there was last week.  

Last week I went to two interviews and signed up with one temp company.  Interviewing in this area is more time consuming that it was up in Boston.  People are slower to respond and take their time on all fronts.  I'm going back into the office world - I normally do Administrative work.  My recent job score, in a call-center environment, as a technical service rep, was against my better judgement from the beginning....  I should have known.... Way too much structure....  I'm a "do your own thing" type of worker.... Very independent.... I'm good at what I do and I don't like to be micro-managed!  

As far as the house hunt goes.....  We are still living with Becky- and it's been great in some ways and not in others.  Sam and I are ready to venture out on our own again - we do better that way and we definately have our own ways of living, as does Becky's family.  Merging family's can be very hard.  It's been fun, but will be better overall - we will all have our separate spaces and still be able to hang out, go fun places and visit often.  Four children, 6, 10, 12 & 16, plus to single mother's - can be a bit much - ya think?  

I live on the premise that everything does happen for a reason and this is yet another stage in our lives.  I'm grateful that I am able to be a little patient on the house hunt because I really don't want to jump into something that I am going to want to move from again in six months - I've done that way too many times.  I want the "perfect" house and the "perfect" job and I am very hopeful that both that will come my way when they are supposed to!  

Hopefully sooner than later.....
