Another day...another chance to get it right!

Yesterday did not go as I'd planned. I dropped the girls off for their first day of CORE and then headed to my interview. It did not go well. The lady was not very friendly and even though the school was impressive, I knew it wasn't for me. Turns out she only needed a floater and the hours were not good. I guess she could sense that I wasn't too thrilled and so I got an email from her later in the day informing me that she'd chosen another candidate. That was fine--like I said, I wasn't too jazzed about the job anyway but I do have issues with rejection. I guess that counselor was right--some things are rooted in childhood, no matter how much we try to deny it, overcome it or pretend it doesn't matter. I don't like people that use that crap as an excuse but I can't deny that I can't stand when I find out I'm not wanted, regardless of what it is.

So I went home depressed for the rest of the day and did absolutely NOTHING. I didn't do any cleaning, not as much laundry as I needed to, didn't read like I'd planned, even skipped my workout! I did a little bit of sketching but it didn't go very well so I gave up on that as well.

I went to pick the girls up from CORE and I loved hearing Brooke chatter on about how much she loved it! For a moment I felt blessed to have the best of both worlds--I get to hear about all the exciting things that happen to my lovely daughters during the course of their day and not missing them terribly because I know I get to spend the rest of the week with them. I love homeschooling this way!

But the bliss didn't last long because it was so freakin' hot and the van has no air and traffic was a mess and by the time I got back home I was pouring sweat and ill as a hornet!

I managed to get ONE thing accomplished--changing my cell phone plan--yesterday afternoon before I cooked dinner and that didn't go very well either. We love chicken wraps with bacon but the microwave died last week so I was having to cook it in a skillet and I suck at that! I burned it, smoked up the whole house...

So I decided to give it up and go to bed early--before 8 o'clock!!!!

Today has not started out much better so far, the phone has rang off the hook and most of the time, it has been the wrong number anyway! And I'm still not very motivated to do all of the things I need to do.

But I will...today is a new day. This is the day that the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it.
