One less dilemma

First post in a couple of weeks. I have been busy though. As much as I love writing down my thoughts about this baby thing, getting a full-time job was also quite important. As many of you know I was made redundant just before Christmas. The stress of knowing a baby is on the way and making sure you have a stready income got pretty high for awhile. Thankfully I have secured a job and will have some dollars in the bank for when junior arrives.

It is an absolute full-time job looking for a full-time job! Despite a week of doing nothing immediately after being made redundant (to get my mind off things) the Monday to Friday routine was exactly that - a routine! After hitting the gym most mornings* I'd come home, sit in front of the computer searching Seek and MyCareer and apply for jobs. Application letters would be rwritten and re-written for each job and my CV was also altered to help suit the job being applied for. Before you know it, it was 4pm and Kos was coming home from work.

* If readers are Fitness First members, be on the look out for my article in the Fitness First Magazine on using a redundacy as a time to get to the gym and get fit. Should be in one of the next two editions! I went from couch to running 5k! So I did use my extra time on healthy pursuits and not just watching Ellen and Oprah every day - although I did kind of look forward to Ellen's dance routine in between clicking on job ads!

The Pregnancy: We are up to about week 31 - Kos is having trouble sleeping and is up for long stretches of time each night. Perfect training for those night feeds I guess! Besides that she is felling pretty good. Swollen Feet that look like flippers are the order of the day.

Last note: Thanks to all who were on the look out for a job to help a brother out! Your support was and is much appreciated!!
