where is the sun?

So, I got really used to the sun....even though it could or could not be cold with it...it made me a lot more energetic and happy. I wonder if most people have a form of that weather disorder? Yesterday was just a big downer! After being sunny and happy for so long? What's that REM song? Sunny happy people? Seriously.

The jobhunt...well- I have had one phone interview for this one job, took the test online (HARD!), it was seriously like an SAT test. Was curious if I passed....got the word-I did! Have a second phone interview/process/benefits thing today and then I think she'll set up the in person interview. Now, this is a good job, but I also have an interview with my friend's company on Friday and I think I want that one more. I'm trying to stretch out this other process so they don't end up doing something before I get a chance to go through the interview Friday. I think it's working...I can't imagine we would have another interview until Friday or next week, so that's good. Hopefully this 2nd company makes a decision fast though.....I think it's probably a better fit and somewhere I can see myself growing, which is what I want. So, we'll see. Everyone keep your fingers crossed.

Now on the other side of this jobhunt...my little babies. I never thought moving down here would turn into me working, but I guess that's what happens. You don't ever expect it. However, my kids are old enough now that I think they'll be okay in daycare. So....daycare, what a chore. At least it's down here where 1. daycare is less expensive 2. there are a few to choose from 3. they have openings! I swear, in Seattle and the eastside, when I had looked before, which seems a lifetime ago, waiting lists and the cost were unbelievable!

My issue is choosing which is best. I think I have already made up my mind, but the process still sucks and I want things to compare it to. I have one more place to go to tomorrow, which actually I think is a really good option, but too expensive....we'll see. I'll go into it more after I look at it. I seriously had anxiety yesterday after looking at one place. And the cost is all over the place, but like C says- you get what you pay for. So, that's why the money is not the main issue here- the one I have chosen as of now is a lot more than the other, but I'm sure less than tomorrow's. But like I said, tomorrow I will at least see another option- and probably an unaffordable one, but maybe I did the math wrong...hahaha that's what I am liking to tell myself for now.

Let's hope the interview(s) go well and everything falls into place. I hate stressing about my kids and I just want them to be happy and okay. I know they will be, but the anxiety about them kills me. My cute little babies.

Okay before I was done here, I had my 2nd phone interview and it went well. They are going to set up my in person panel interview. Jeez....that's a lot of interviewing. So, I have the other interview Friday afternoon.

My mom is coming down for to spend the night Friday, C has class Saturday all day, so my mom will help at AM's swim lesson, then we're having lunch with her cousin. Then we have a bday party that evening. Next week I'll have the other in person interview....I cannot believe it's going to be March already?! What in the hell? I can't believe I've been looking for a job for over a month now....not that I was in a hurry to get one, but time really flies- it seems like just yesterday, but it was like the beginning/mid of January that I decided I should start looking. Wow, it will suck if NEITHER of these offer me a job....ha, that would really be horrible. Well, for the ego, but everything will work out. Who knows, it could be a blessing in disguise and the perfect job just around the other corner, too much to think about and analyze.

Anyway, getting ahead of myself.

Okay so I just read my previous post- to update a few things.
1. The lady did offer to have me nanny. I changed my mind about this though and decided it wasn't enough $ for all the work. I really don't want another kid right now, unless it was a little older and could actually play with my kids.
2. The interview in Kent was not for me. The place wasn't me, the people weren't me. I knew it was not going to be worth it.
3. The interview Friday is with the same friend's company who sent her CEO my info for a job. This job happened to open up, so lucky me, I now get an interview. And one of the 2 ladies I'm interviewing with used to work at my mom's company and I'm hoping it all goes well!
