Unemployment

Well, it has almost been two months since I have been unemployed. I had only three days of working until they laid me off on the 2nd. Thankfully, I have had some babysitting gigs to make time past but it has not been enough. So what have I been doing over the last two months? First, I enjoy the holidays which was nice. Then with the passing of Nick's grandma and myself getting laid off, I threw myself into job hunting. I had had so many rejection e-mails come my way. I failed a pretty simple test that would have made my life so much easier because the job would have been great. I have been interview for another position that would have recover all our money that we have lost over the last 8 months and would have set us up to be able to move in two years. But nothing came of that. I had a few phone interviews for nanny jobs that I most likely lost due to being pregnant. I went to a job fair on Tuesday to get some pretty okay leads and found out that my last pair of work pants really do not fit anymore.

So what to do when you are about 5 months pregnant, visibly showing and still have no way to pay for your stupid student loans? Who is going to hire you? In the meantime, I have signed up for Sittercity to get some part time work/random sitting?

So how I have filled my time with being out of work. I have learned how to make food in our 3 in 1 rice cooker/slow cooker. There is something really nice about having dinner done with my hubs gets home and he did not have to cook. thank you Rob and Mel for the rice cooker. I have been baking. I just made those chocolate peanut butter cookies that I have been obsessing about. Thank you Charles for the baking bowl. I love that thing. I have been taking yoga at random times. Not this week because I fell last Friday and hurt my knee pretty bad. But now I am functioning again so Monday Yoga here I come. I have been seeing movies, Bride Wars, He's just not that into you, and Confession of a Shopaholic. I have clean the apartment (not the bathroom yet). I have been looking for a job. I have played the sims. I have set up 3 registries. BuyBuyBaby, Land of Nod and Pottery Barn Kids. I have chilled out and relax most days. I have had e-mail talks with peeps. I am on facebook all day. So I have been busy but way bored at times as well. I really will not be using this blog for my personal life but I want to give you all an update on how I have been spending my time in my apartment with my stinker cat.

Yoga for Pregnancy

so a few weeks ago, I sign up for Yoga for Pregnancy at my fav. yoga studio, Bloom @ Rockwell. The class is a three session long class on Wednesday night from 6:30 to 8pm. So I went to my first session last night. Well, let me just say that I was the youngest and earliest pregnancy there or at least I felt like it. Now I know I am not a very big person and I am little over 4 months pregnant but jeez, last night I really felt tiny. The sessions are suppose to help with all different types of common pregnancy issues, morning sickness, aches and pains. So I found it to be very helpful in terms of what prenatal yoga is going to be like after this little 3 week session. I am really happy that I am still really early enough in my pregnancy to be starting to take yoga every week. I felt like some of the women were in the same boat that they have at least been taking yoga for the majority of their pregnancies but I know for sure that one of the women in that room was taking yoga for the first time and she was 8 months. Not to judge or anything but if you wanted to prevent the aches and pains that you are experiences now, why did you wait so long to start taking yoga.

Speaking of me being super tiny, I highly do not appreciated it when it is constantly talked about all the time. I really do not need to be remind everywhere I go that I am not a very big person and one of these days I just might snap. I really do not need my weight to be a constant reminder or topic of discussion. Honestly, if you cannot deal with it then do not talk about it. I would hate if my child was born with the same weight issues that I have and constantly be talked about for the rest of his or her life. As for this moment forth the topic is no longer open for discussion. It is a private matter between myself, my husband and my doctor.
