OptomisticGirl Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 I'll post it but I really don't want this turned into a political debate. It said 'Rape is ugly, but abortion can't fix it, love can'. I don't know what made me mad, maybe the fact it was simply 'oh, if you have love you can over come rape' or 'rape can be fixed'. I think the latter is really what drove it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptomisticGirl Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Trying to do a resume/cover letter for extra credit in public speaking (never hurts, right?). Hard to write a cover letter for a job position you can't actually apply for until 2017 but you have to pretend like you can apply for it now. *headache* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie24 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 that's a really good exercise to do. it's good to have an up-to-date resume at all times. even if you have a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 It'll def. save time having to create one in a few years, for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie24 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 yeah. but it's good to keep tweaking it and improving it. it is so important to have a good resume. i have a friend who was let go from her job a few months ago. she's been looking for work like crazy. nothing. i asked her to send me her resume, and there were some obvious glaring errors. lack of a professional sounding email address, unexplained gaps in employment. the resume was accurate but was so ho-hum. the average hiring person only looks at your resume for 6 seconds, so if it doesn't catch their interest or attention, it's going in the garbage. no joke.

OptomisticGirl Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 My public speaking teacher said the same thing. She used to go to school with someone who had worked 10+ years in a human resources department and she said people who used the familiar resume template to do their resumes were almost always just looked at and sat aside, they look for catchy resumes.

OptomisticGirl Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 L's medical went great! His blood pressure was high, even the doctor there said its normal for that kind of setting. So we just have to get his GP to recheck it Friday and send the immigration doctor a letter. Other then that he passed with flying colors! Now just waiting for the final phase of stage two to be approved and then get our interview date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renaissancewoman101 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Congrats to the both of you, esp to L for passing his medical with flying colors. Once the interview is done, how much longer will you have to wait before L is able to move to the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Well once he has the interview and they approve us for the visa (this is the last step) it's just a matter of waiting for his passport to return to him with the visa in it. So if he has a interview date for the beginning of Aug well go ahead and book his flight for Sept 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptomisticGirl Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 I walked into my mom's house and Tyler hollars my name. God I love this kid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Mom just told me they apparently want to work on Tyler's heart. When he was born his PDA wouldn't close so they inserted a clamp. Now they are wanting to go in, put him on life support, take the clamp out, and then take him off life support to see if his lungs can handle it. And do this BEFORE his penis surgery.

OptomisticGirl Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 And he just melts my heart while lying on the couch trying to fall asleep and he'll look up at me and say my name. I say 'Yes Tyler?' and he just smiles at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 I barely got any sleep last night. I didn't sleep with my mom because I a) am a bed hog b) cover hog and c) flip over a lot and I knew she was tired so I made myself a little palette on the floor and was watching tv in the living room. My sister and Tyler were asleep on the couch (Tyler at her feet) and at one point she must have turned over and hit him in the face because I heard him cry out. He sat up and saw me there so he grabbed his Cars pillow and sippy cup and laid down with me resulting in this: link removed So cute. But he sleeps like me so I was the one who didn't get any sleep between having a foot in my ribs or waking up to all the covers being wrapped around him... I know what L goes through with me now.

OptomisticGirl Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 My sister is currently staying there until her and the baby daddy move into their place which from my understanding they have found one. I go there every Tues after work to do laundry. Since I didn't have school today I decided to spend the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangletsbang Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 You really should get your sister to get a second opinion in regards to the surgery...not trying to be a 'know it all' or anything but if they could find a surgeon who does 'off pump' surgery..where they don't stop his heart, it would be much easier on the body. Then again, we work with 25-90 year old heart patients...not pediatric. Man, that is big news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 It's just so random. I understand why they had to put them clamp on but maybe they are afraid he'll outgrow it? Or having it will complicate things? She did say they want to, not that they will. Although the penis surgery is def going to happen at the end of June.

OptomisticGirl Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Went and picked up my prescriptions, whopping $73 worth including the cyclosporin. I love using the pharmacy I do because they are the cheapest but the pharmacist is a bit of a nosey person. Not sure if she's suppose to be but every time I have a wild prescription filled, like the cyclosporin, she asks me why I need it and then when I tell her what for she gives me this look like 'you don't need this.' I don't know. She always ruffles my feathers wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
