How can the day fly by so damn fast?

Plan for today:


  • Take kids to doctor's appointment for a follow-up check-up
  • Take kids to school; go home
  • Do some laundry
  • Clean dishes and kitchen
  • Lunch
  • Make a couple of phone calls (work related)
  • Called a friend I've been worried about
  • Mow the lawn
  • Shower
  • Pick up kids from school

How it played out:


  • Took the kids to the doctor's appointment
    (+ they got their flu shot!) mind you, you didnt' miss anything with the hair-raising show they put on... after that, of course, they wanted daddy, not me. :o(
  • It was two late by the time we were out it was 2pm - so no school, straight home
  • Prepared lunch
  • Made my phone calls - not the news I was hoping for, but definitely the news I knew I would receive :o/
  • Called my friend; wasn't there -left a message
  • Pleased my kids by playing Monopoly for two hours

...And now I'm here, wanting that shower, kids asking for dinner, headachy, craving coffee, and feeling blue. Yeah, I really wanted that job, but they have the temp, and in fairness to her, two weeks aren't enough to prove yourself. And if she is doing a good job, there is no need to make any changes. So I'm glad to know that's the reason for me not being hired. I've never not landed a job I interviewed for, but being as bittersweet as this is, it's not so bad.

Guess it wasn't for me... not yet, not this time. Maybe later. ;o)

it must be one of those 'just not the right thing for right now' things....i'm sure it will work out to be a blessing in disguise at some point!

hope you got that shower and some coffee!

I am sorry about the job. I can see their point, but it's still not easy to hear :( I hope tomorrow goes better for you!
