From the mouths of babes

I believe I may have mentioned that we've taken the kids down to three days a week in school, which means I've got them home with me on Mondays and Wednesdays. On those days, my job searching is pretty much limited to the two hours they're napping. Today, unfortunately, naps were short for both kids. So they're playing nicely and I've got the laptop open, and Becky keeps coming over to show me things and ask me questions. I'm right in the middle of composing a quick introductory letter for my former boss to send to someone he knows at a company I'm applying to (I hate networking. I hate, hate, hate it. It just feels so fake. But I figure it can't hurt.) and Becky looks over and asks what I'm doing right now. So I say, "I'm trying to get a job." She looks at the screen, looks at me, and says, "A job? Mommy, that's so silly. That's just ridiculous!"

Thanks, baby. I appreciate your support. She did make me cry earlier, though (in a good way) when I asked her if she likes the music teacher at school and she thought about it for a minute and said, "No, mommy...I like you."
