Who Knew...

....That good things happen. In blog land one of the IVF bloggers I follow conceived on her own! I am squeeing for you! I can't link to her blog as she has requested that her her blog remain anonymous. And S.I.F. had someone donate her IVF meds for her upcoming cycle! It's a great day in blog land.

Aaron has slept like crap the past 2 nights. Happy Fathers Day! At least we didn't spend Father's Day in the ER like last year. I hate teething. Aaron was up from 2am-5am on and off last night. I don't' have the heart to close his door and leave him to himself if I can't hear him I can't sleep. I've always been wired this way ever since he was a new born. Can anyone tell me how long it takes the 2 year molars to pop through? It seems like we've been at these ones for over a month!

I had Aaron at the doctor's today and he has grown half and inch 3/4's of an inch in 3 weeks! I haven't noticed but one of the mom's at a playgroup we haven't attended in awhile commented how much he had grown since she last saw him. So growing he is! He is also mimicking almost everything we say so I am waiting for his "language explosion" as other kids at our playgroups seem to be having.

Apparently I am quite adept at writing cover letters. I showed this letter a friend of mine who is very adept herself in cover letter and resume writing. She was so impressed she asked me to email it to her so she could use it. I pulled this out of my ass in less than half an hour with Aaron tugging at me.

To Whom It May Concern:

I would like to express my interest in applying for the X Position with your company. I am responding to an ad posted on Craigslist.org. I have recently moved back to the area and I am available for work on short notice. I believe I have the experience needed to be the successful candidate for this position.

My previous work history gives me and excellent understanding of the job and what its entails. I worked for X as a X Assistant. This was a clerical role in which I processed data and completed clients’ [blank] and [blank] applications. I was responsible for filing, photocopying, and correspondence as per [protocol]. This is required me to be organized and to process my assigned work in a timely manner.

I worked at [Big Name Cell Phone Company] as a Client Care Representative for three years. I was responsible for assisting clients within a set time frame and directing clients to the correct departments when unable to assist them. I perform well in stressful situations while maintaining patience. I am well versed in Windows software and Microsoft Office programs as well as other proprietary software systems. I also worked as an Internet Client Care Representative with [Big Name Cell Phone Company] and was responsible for assisting clients via email and responding to large volumes of email daily. I was praised by co-workers for my work ethic and my dedication. I was involved in organizing team building activities and I volunteered in [Big Name Cell Phone Company Store] as well as attended work seminars on my own time.

Thank you for taking the time to review my application. I am confident that I would be an excellent addition to your team. I may be reached at (XXX) XXX-XXXX at your convenience to arrange for an interview.

My son's been cutting his eye teeth for weeks. Three out of four are through now, so hopefully the last one will erupt soon and we can get back to normal.
