Word of the Day: stentorian JD didn't get the job at VISD, and so the search continues. I'm worried about him. I mean, what does this do to a person's confidence? Not even Wal-Mart will call him back, and they hire idiots. It's frustrating for me, so I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for him. I just want to walk into places and shout, 'Hey, if you want someone who's dependable and trustworthy, hire my husband!' He still has school to occupy his time while not looking for a job, but what's going to happen if he doesn't get a job before summer. Then for sure he won't have anything to do. I'll make him become a househusband and clean the damned house every once in a while. This is why all of this is so frustrating, aside from the fact that JD's getting depressed and fat: I go to work and get stressed out about numbers that, in the order of things, don't matter, and I come home to a dirty and cranky toddler, a destroyed room, and a seemingly oblivious husband. I'm tired when I come home, but I can't take a nap or rest a little bit because Patrick wants to play and JD just plays on his computer, so I have to play with Patrick and I don't talk to JD the rest of the evening. And now that I've complained about my husband, I will now express how proud I am of him because of how wonderfully well he's doing in school. He's taking an online art history class [which I think defeats the purpose of art history], and for their final project they either have to make a PowerPoint of an art school or artist or an original artpiece. JD did an Andy Warhol knockoff, but instead of Che Guevara, he did Jon Stewart. I myself think it's a sort of copout just becuase my brain has a hard time wrapping itself around the concept that digital things can be pieces of art [I'm an old-fashioned, paint-and-easel girl], but his teacher loves the idea, so I guess it's all right. So JD was cleaning out his computer and he broke all sorts of stuff. Since he's broke and I'm slowly running down on money, he counted all the change in our change bucket [around $180.00], which wound up being about half of what he needed. The rest he got from his savings account. But he bought all sorts of wingdigs and doohickeys [a motherboard, a new processor, new cables, a heat sync, other stuff] which should be coming in hopefully Monday or Tuesday. Betty's dying, too, so the sooner the better. Right now we're sharing Harold, and JD's annoyingly on him all the freakin time. Easter was rather uneventful. Laura came over early to hide eggs in the living room. Some were plastic and some were real, but Patrick didn't care. He found two hard boiled eggs and started banging them together, cracking them both and complete destroying one. It was pretty funny. Later on that morning, Kevin brought Ethan and Evan over, and everyone found eggs and ate candy. JD's mom was trying to give the boys Peeps, which Patrick thoroughly enjoyed. It was cute. Work has gotten a tiny bit more better since Theresa started. She and Mark cleaned the office and the storage closet out so now I'm not tripping over crap with every step I take. Ana has gone to a new job and this coming week is Debra's last, so I'll probably be at the desk more, but I've really stopped caring about accounting. I'm obviously not needed since I work the desk so much, but we'll really see when I stop trying so hard. Finally, after two days of trying to write this entry, it's over.
