The Interview: Results*
After waiting through a very long two days, I finally got a call about an hour ago. The principal called and cut straight to the chase: I didn’t get the job. He didn’t offer any feedback on the phone, but told me I could schedule a debrief to go in and discuss my interview if I wanted. Am I disappointed? Yes. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t. Am I devastated? Nope. I learned my lesson last winter and know that this job just wasn’t mine to have. As soon as I got the news my immediate reaction was to rehash the interview in my mind and wonder, “Why…

Strange Dreams*
You guys, strange things are happening in my head at night. The Hubster and I have long joked that we have real-life personalities, and “dream personalities”. I sometimes have dreams about the Hubster were he does things that I don’t like. I used to wake up in the morning and get mad at him for things he did in my dream, and he didn’t like being held accountable for “Dream-Hubster’s” actions. (I know. We’re weird.) I have always had very vivid dreams that I often remember. They are usually funny and a little weird, and the Hubster usually just laughs and shakes his head at me when I explain my…

The Interview (Again)*
So, I had my interview today. (Do you realize that this is already my fourth interview this year? Holy toot.) After a busy day yesterday, I crawled into bed with my interview notes at 8pm to prepare until I crashed. (This post also may or may not be coming to you from my lovely bed.) I’m finally finding that interviewing is not as daunting as it once was. It’s worlds easier now that I have real experiences to draw on, and am not just explaining how I would handle scenarios should I encounter them. After a busy morning with Ruby, I had a wonderful friend come over to watch her so…

A Heartbeat and an Interview*
This has been a very exciting week. On Tuesday, the Hubster and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary and actually got out on a date! It was lovely. I also was finally able to see my midwife (Olivia) this week. After bumped appointments and a long wait, Ruby and finally made it into her office. After catching up on Ruby’s progress in the last 18 months, we quickly reviewed my medical history and pregnancy thus far. Then it was finally time to hear the heartbeat. I always feel like I’m holding my breath until I hear that steady thump, thump, thump. Thankfully, this peanut was much more cooperative than the…

Oldyweds: Eight Years Later*
Yesterday the Hubster and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary. Even though I hear myself saying “eight years” and I know it’s true, I’m having a hard time believing it. Where on earth has the time gone? I swear we were just students enjoying our leisurely university life, surviving on hamburger helper and OSAP money. We’ve come a long way in those eight years. For those who have been here with me for a while, you know that The Hubster and I had a whirlwind seven week romance before getting engaged, and we were married just five short months after that. I’m pretty sure that just about everyone who knew…
