Patience

I had an interview Wednesday of last week. It went well, I felt, but what do I know about these things seeing as I'm still unemployed.

Today is supposed to be the day they decide. I'm hoping that it's me. I like this job. Great location and company. I liked the people I met. There's lots of potential with it.

If it should happen to not work out, I have another interview on Tuesday for a part-time job. It's contract which I'm not too thrilled about, but experience and breaking even are what I'm striving for right about now.

Busy times

I think the only reason I'm posting here right now is because I'm avoiding doing a paper that I should have completed over the weekend. It's due tomorrow night and I'm getting less inspired as the night goes on.

But here's a quick overview on where I am in the process of leaving the SAHM initials behind and gaining the CPA:
-Put out tons more resumes online, which resulted in a call.
-Interviewed with a temp agency.
-This led to today's interview that I felt went very well.
-Attended a very good career fair limited to college students and alumni.
-Still played Mom, running Thing 1 around to his activities.
-Tried to stay up with emails for Relay for Life and met with the committee.
-Continued with school, which I still maintain is one of the best decisions I've ever made.
-Woke up far too many days by 5am because Thing 2 is having problems sleeping.

Life is busy and busy is good. I'm loving becoming much more that Things' Mommy. I'm gaining a sense of self back. And even though I love this new me, I'm feeling a sense of loss on what I will be missing from my boys' lives.

There's just no way to have it all.

On to 30

Tomorrow I turn thirty. I'm actually okay with turning thirty. What I'm not okay with is being thirty, unemployed, and living at my mother's house. I never thought I'd be here now.

But I am making steps in the right direction. School is going. The job search is slowly going. Hopefully by my next birthday I'll be in a better place.

Been a while

So, good things in life.

I start grad school today. I'm nervous and excited. This is going to be a huge challenge.

I have an interview lined up soon for a junior accounting position with the state. It's only contract, but it gives experience and there's also the possibility of a full-time offer at the end of it.

I'm continuing my duties (although they aren't much) for the Online Chair for Relay for Life. I've gotten to meet some good people. I've also learned that motherhood has helped me get over some of the shyness and nervousness that I had. I have much more confidence.

My children are healthy and thriving.

I'm turning 30 in two weeks and I'm okay with that.

And, most importantly, my favorite secret agent Chuck Bartowski is back in my life. Okay, maybe that's the least important thing on this list, but it gives me an hour of smiles a week.
