There is a serious threat of closure to various undergraduate courses at London Metropolitan University from the HALE department.
On the 14/04/11, Senior Management at London Metropolitan University revealed plans to cease recruitment on their highly popular and prestigious Philosophy, History and Performing Arts Degrees; effectively ending recruitment in academic year 2012/13.

Our two children have been raised primarily by their stay-at-home-Dad because we are ADAMANT about their security, safety, and general wellbeing. But now after 7+yrs, Dad is ready to rejoin the workforce, and so we're looking for the perfect person to watch our children. Must have experience and references, and an obvious love of children. Any successful candidate will, as a minimum, be able to support our remaining school schedule through mid-June plus a full-time summer schedule through the end of August.



Initial childcare schedule will be 8am to 4:30pm on Mondays, and Noon to 4:30pm Tuesdays through Fridays, with additional hours required to support the Fairfax County Public Schools published calendar. Summer childcare schedule will be 8am to 4:30pm Mon-Fri.



Preferred candidates will earn more to stay and do dinner preparation and/or housekeeping. I will consider any combination of regular or occassional housekeeping, and will give high preference to the provider who could also take over the household grocery shopping, plan our meals, and prepare family dinners Monday through Friday.



English fluency/proficiency is a must, as our preschool son is experiencing slight language and developmental delay - we need someone who can work with him constantly on his communications and basic life skills (speaking, listening, self-feeding, self-dressing, potty training, etc).



My ideal candidate might be a Mom, who may either bring her one young child with her, or whose children are older and already independent. Or my ideal candidate might be a teacher whose schedule is a perfect fit and has lots of experience managing varying degrees of childhood chaos. Or my ideal candidate might a spunky Grandma who can keep up with the high-energy and high-spirits of young children. Or my ideal candidate might be a college student who may be specializing in early childhood development or special education who works with kids every summer. Or my ideal candidate might be . . . you.



Oh, we have two cats and a huge drooly dog. You absolutely must be totally okay with that. And by huge I mean a 100+lb Rotty.

JR is interviewing for a more-than-fulltime job at 11:30am Monday. He has many reservations, but I've managed to encourage him past them to at least go through the interview process and see if he gets an offer. He worries about many 'what if' scenarios, like what if he is expected to start immediately, what if we can't find daycare, what if he hates it, what if he doesn't make any money, what if he doesn't even get the job, what if the kids don't adjust well, or what if something happens w/Christopher and he can't tell us about it. My attitude, towards all of that, is that we'll cross those bridges if/when we get to them. If he does get the job and is expected to start immediately, I'll take some unscheduled leave and put a daycare plan togehter. I expect it's more likely that if he gets the job he'll have a week or two before his start date, during which we'll put the daycare plan together.

A recent inquiry got me back on Wordle, just saving this for a later in the day project. :)

Ecclesiastes 3:1, To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

Life has many paths that will lead you to different addresses in your life. As you walk down the journey of life you have to understand that each stop is temporal. Life has many curves and not one thing will remain the same because seasons change. However, if you find yourself in a certain season in your life that you dislike do not complain and murmur but embrace the season. Seasons are only for a time and in each season the Lord will use it to help you grow in specific areas in your life. Each season has a purpose and plan for your life. The Lord uses each season to mold us into our set place He has for us at that time. The set place God has ordained for your life is the place you are at now. My pastor has been ministering on the subject of you blessings are in your set place. He has stated your set place is the place where God blesses you. Your set place is where you are fulfilled and your place of obedience to God. But understand your set place is the place the Lord tells you to transcend to not man or your own fleshly desire. When we become the driver of our own path then we will lead ourselves to the wrong place and will not be in the right season. Many Christians miss out on there blessings and the move of God because they are not in the place He told them to go. It is imperative to understand no matter what season you are in at this moment make sure it is the set place God has for you. You may not want to be there but you will reap the acceleration of your fulfillment because that specific season has become your set place.

"Seasons will change, nothing is permanent but with each season embrace it and grow through it. Nothing shall remain the same."

I always tell myself I miss camping, but maybe it's just that I really want to go glamping!

We've been in a collective tizzy about the potential furlough.I was actually looking forward to an unscheduled day or days off, but at the same time I was going to have to use leave, which I'd rather not do. I'm taking Wednesday off, I think, to chaperone a walking field trip for Phoebe's 2nd Grade class. I think it's kinda cool - her Elementary School is within walking distance to my College - they're walking over to GMU for some performing arts thing. :)

My blog is being a pain in the butt. It won't keep me logged in, and it keeps putting triple hard returns between all my bullets. Grrr. :/ But I assume you have gotten into this year's photos?? :) Also, just wondering, do you notice when I tinker w/my title? I added a heart recently, that was probably pretty obvious. But every once in a while I come up with another value to add to my inspirations. Plus it was bugging me that the first few were not in alphabetical order with no explanation. :)
