An interview for me.....

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a happy and blessed Easter....I enjoyed Easter Dinner (from the crockpot(s), of course) with my mom and DH. DD opted to go with her "real" mom, which, since we already had plans, really bothered me, but I let her go just so she wouldn't ruin my day. I know that's bad parenting, but sometimes, with her tantrums, I just mentally throw up my hands and say "it doesn't matter anyhow, she's not getting any less selfish by being told what to do....." I guess that's a whole 'nother post, but I am so fed up with the selfishness--maybe there's a reason God didn't give me biological kids, huh? I don't know. But it seems like DD's friends are a lot less selfish than her, and so I don't think it's unnatural to be fed up with her "me, me, me" attitude. Just wish I knew what to do about it, of course...

I interviewed today to be a Disability Examiner with the State. I was surprised to find that I wasn't as nervous as I usually am, but I don't think I was a stand-out candidate, either. I can only hope that the other candidates came across as not-so-stellar, too. I know I didn't say anything that was an "Oh no, just blew the interview..." but I didn't say anything amazing, either, and I've been second-guessing myself and determined that I'm not impressed.

The strangest thing about this interview--I don't remember applying for that job at all. And my heart won't be broken if I don't get it. But I am now in the mood to work a little harder on my job search. It's so easy to become complacent, and I'm afraid I've been guilty of that. I need to get things in gear!

DH is still employed. Last night made five days of work for him. He still seems excited about it, and says he hasn't had any problems yet. I'm going to cross my fingers (still)....and another good thing???? He has come out and said that he is going to just turn over his entire check to me. I will continue to buy him pop and put gas in his car. And I'll give him a little "fun money". And the rest will be to pay bills--how cool is that going to be if he can keep this job???!!!! I'm so proud of him--even before he got "sick", he never would have decided to do that. But I guess after all this time, it must be pretty obvious that I'll make sure his needs are met, as much as I possibly can.

By what you've written it sounds like DH might be ready to turn a major BP corner. Very cool.

I know coming to terms that I was not the same person I was before was really hard but one day I just said to myself, "This is how things are now. Time to make lemonade." It took a long time.
