The great job search saga (continued)

So yesterday Kim had a Dr. appt and then also had to take Daniel to the Dr. (see more details below). So she skipped the job fair, but she did finally meet up with a family friend who manages the Carl's Jr. I frequent. So after the visit to the Dr. I took the boys and went home.

And I was home when Kim called and said that she now had 2 jobs! First, her friend basically said she can have as many hours as she wants working the register etc. at Carl's Jr. Then she returned a call to the King Soopers lady from last week. Well it turned out the lady really went to the mat for Kim, telling her boss that Kim would not be someone that they would hire only to have her go on light duty due the pregancy then quit when the baby came and never be seen again. So the big boss relented so Kim has that job back! Since neither is full time she'll be stringing the 2 part time jobs together to help make ends meet until the baby comes.

Then once the baby is born she'll probably just go back to King Soopers, assuming she likes the work. I told her to take advantage of the opportunity to really explore both jobs and decide what she wants to do full time after the baby comes. Both jobs will be new experiences for her so it should be a positive.

As far as Daniel, Kim had begun noticing that when he walks in tennis shoes (on those rare occasions before he kicks them off) he walks kind of bowlegged. With his right foot turned in especially. Well after hearing all kinds of advice and pricing high top tennis shoes (not the easiest or cheapest things to find for a toddler), Kim decided it might be best to have a Dr. look at him. Well the Dr. took a look at him and said he was fine, he doesn't need special shoe's at all. And in fact his experience was that kids with this condition tend to end up being more athletic (obviously appealing to Dad there).
