I know - I've been away too long again. But before I get back to talking about all the joys of parenting in your 40's, a quick update on life in general.
I'm still unemployed. I'm getting interviews, but always seem to be the bridesmaid, not the bride. Actually, this wouldn't bother me at all except for the fact that I need to be making money, as I have yet to find anyone who will pay our credit card bills and car payments for us. The unemployment benefits are still coming, but not for too much longer. The kids have already been put on notice that they might just have to learn to watch their shows on the internet or, horrors, read the books and play with the toys that litter their rooms, instead of watching the idiot tube when they come home from school.
Update on my unscientific experiment - the hair color does seem to be making a difference. Since my initial blog about this in May, not one additional person has asked me if the boys were my grandchildren. Since the dye job doesn't seem to be making any difference in the job search, though, I'm letting it grow out. We'll see if there is an up-tick in the number of "grandma" comments as the gray increases.
I'm ready to blog again, and I have a few ideas for posts. Be watching - I have a lot to say!
