In which I try to not lose my mind

I am applying for a job. I have not worked for the past 1.5 years, and I miss it. Now don't get me wrong, I love being home with my babies but there is something about work that centers me. It is only a part time job, and the hours will allow for the hubs to be home so no daycare. But I am so nervous. What if I don't get it, make a horrible first impression, or worse yet get hired and fail. My overactive imagination it taking control and I am trying fervently to reign it in. I wrote my cover letter last night, am preparing my resume and have almost completed the application. Bonus points for buying a new interview outfit too!

Saturday I turned a quarter century. I am now officially closer to 30 than 20. My husband lovingly refers to me as the older woman, his cougar... we're a month apart. My very best girlfriend came and spent the weekend with me and it was fantastic. We didn't do much, but just having her here was so very awesome.

I am becoming more domesticated as the months go on. My house is clean now at least 95% of the time, which is a major improvement! Laundry is still the bane of my existence. I'm working on that. I have yet to sew anything impressive, baby steps.

Think human resources will judge me if I show up in harness boots?

New Year... already?

So I'm a little late to the party. Had to make my grand entrance you know! I have deep cleaned my house, including ridding it of junk food. Cleaned out clothes we no longer wear and pulled out the work out DVDs. I am ready!

Resolutions you ask? To be kinder and more forgiving. One of my major flaws is holding a grudge so I am going to work on that. Of course working out and eating better is on the list, but only because I resolve to do it and then never do!

I am going to post at least once a week. Not a big deal, I know. But when you are a sahm in a town where you know very few people it helps. I find when I get lonely if I post and then go read others blogs I feel more connected. As strange as that sounds.
