Positivity?

Julie commented that my post sounded positive - a couple posts ago about my house n stuff. I had to go to the blog to see what she was talking about because I felt like I hadn't posted anything positive in a while. When I re-read what I wrote I had to laugh because - that was the edited version. The first time I wrote it, every topic ended with a downturn or complaint. It bothered me so much that I edited all the negativity out.

Sorry that I can't tell u the answers Julie - cuz not enough people have tried them. But I will soon. The trick is to not think too complicated, think simply.

Weathers nice here. Dry, breezy, and sunny. But the areas around here that have creeks and rivers and flooding - the water's still rising. Travel throughout the state is a bit tough because of detours and closed roads n stuff, thankfully I don't need to be going anywhere.

I MISS my kids. I really really really really wish I could be working closer to home so I could see them, run home at lunch, be available in a pinch, maybe take a break to drive them to their activities once a day. I really feel like such an absentee parent from way over here 40 minutes away.

Next week I have a job interview, which is good. I mean it's a good job, a change, maybe a challenge. But it's NO closer to home. It is in an educational environment though, so that would be a good change. Still I'm applying all over close to home, hoping to find something I can walk to or ride my bike to, but which still pays the bills. I mean I could take a hit of a couple hundred a month if I didn't have to drive to timbuktoo to work.

It will be good to get out of this job. PLEASE let me find a good job close to home! That would not only change my life, but my outlook on life.
