The advantage of having a regular job

The advantage of having a secure job is to be able to finance for a house. I am working towards that goal right now since I want to own a house here in Seattle so much.

I would like to have a government job in the sense that government jobs offer trainings and the jobs are less demanding than those in private sectors. I once worked in a city for a little over a year and had to quit because later I found that that they would not sponsor green card. I enjoyed all those trainings offered, and the steady income increase.
...
As you perhaps have already known, there are websites specifically for government jobs like

hhts://www.governmentjobs.com,
https://www.usajobs.gov/

http://www.govtjobs.com


And Linkedin is a great resources too, to get insider information.

Good luck, girls. I hope you are enjoying the nice weather as much as I do.

Home Based Daycare Orientation

I know that to start a home based daycare, the first step would be to go to the orientation. The Department of Early Education website listed all the available orietation, and I saw there was none this year.

And J told me she waited for over a year for the orientation herself. Then I visited the preschool of S, who used to be lead teacher of my preschooler's. She told me about the office of DEE, which is right by the mall I go very often. I went the very same day I visited her school, wanting to talk to real people. I did, and also got to know that the orientation would be the following week.

Then the following day I was offered expertise help by the director of my child's preschool. Then I said to myself, what to lose? I should totally do it!

I arranged aftercare for my preschooler and a whole day drop in daycare for my 2 year old and left.

I enjoyed the training very much. (if you want to know more, let me know, I could write more about it next time)

I missed my preschooler's swim class at 4:00, but managed to squeeze her in the following class with the same teacher and had her last class of the session, which was supposed to be the most fun more, because she would get candy and her report card. How I love it when I see my baby swims freely in the water.

so long.

:)

I tell stories at my child's preschool

I went to the story time training two weeks ago and got a story time bite afterwards. I have been telling my babies more stories and begged my husband to listen to my story too. I told him the story about the "Magic Tapestry", the story I read when I was about ten years old or so.

That week, I asked the director of my preschooler's preschool about whether I could tell stories at her school now that I got the training. I was welcome and got to tell stories on Friday.

I told a story about A Lion and the Mouse, and sang a "Brown Bear Brown Bear" song, and Peanut Butter Jelly song, and a Chinese folktale " the Lost Horse".

Tomorrow I am going to tell stories too. I really look forward to it.

Women are our best friends

I want to have a whole day training in Seattle, and was debating whether I should go. I got my preschooler's after school care all figured out. But with the younger one, I was not sure. Since I did not get spousal support, I cancelled the training thinking since I was not ready to take the step, why go through all the trouble.

This moring when I picked up my preschooler, I got the most wonderful offer from the director of the preschool. I had to say, after all, women are women's best friends.

Men, intentionally do want to kill everything, Women are more nurturous and helpful.

I am a friend of this wonderful website. A lot of information. He recommended two youtubes that I found very resourceful.

I finished watching the first one, and has got some serious points.

1) JUST DO IT!
2) Unique product at a good price(good for you price)
3) Family first(I sense his bitterness in his tone not going to Yahoo and made a couple of millions)

Enjoy!

How to find a government job

Govermentjobs.com is a really good website.

I just applied 5 jobs within 3 hours.

I would like to apply for government jobs because they offer a lot of training and could switch from being technical to management. I want to "move up".

English class today

I went to an English class organized by this lady who also organize this moms group. I thought my English was really good. But I learnt a little too. "Used to " is pronounced "use to". I wasn't aware of "d" followed by "to".

Today we talked about used to, am used to, and taking on the telephone.

(It's so nice to be outside enjoying the sunshine. I thank my husband for that.)

Telephone conversation:

Scenario 1:

Caller: Hello, May I speak to Sarah?

Sarah: This is SHE, (not her). Or

Sarah: Speaking=This is she who is speaking.

----
Scenario 2:

Sarah's H: I am sorry, she is not available now. May I take a message?

Everyone perhaps has experienced having to spelling out the names. The teacher handed out a list of spelling alphebets. Hers is different than mine. I am sharing mine here with you.
