A day in my shoes

So law student hot mama inspired me to write this post about a day in my shoes.

So here is a day in the life of a working mom with a toddler.

6:00 a.m. - Alarm goes off. I smack the crap out of it since I am technically not ready to drag my butt out of the nice warm bed.

6:30 a.m. - Alarm goes off again. Bud nudges me and tells me to get up. I mutter, "Hell no." but drag my butt out of bed, not before untangling the sleeping toddler next to me that wandered in around 4:30 that morning.

6:32 - Trudge to the bathroom and turn shower on. Sit on the toilet to pee and start to fall back asleep.

6:34 - Realize that Bean could awaken at any moment so jump in shower to achieve goal of getting ready before the super grump gets up.

6:40 - Bathroom door opens. Bean stumbles in rubbing eyes and giving me the meanest face ever.

6:42 - Hop out of shower, talking softly to Bean since like his momma is not a morning person.

6:44 - After attempting to dry self with toddler strapped to leg, walk in bedroom and turn Sesame Street on for Bean. Get sippy cup and snack for him. Head back to bathroom to finish getting ready.

6:47 - While brushing teeth, putting on lotion, combing wet hair, Bean decides he needs more drink. NOW!

6:50 - Attempt to dry hair, takes longer than usual since I have to turn the dryer off every 2 minutes to answer a question that Bean has.

7:10 - After taming hair with dryer and flat iron and sweating ass off in hot bathroom attempt to get dressed.

7:15 - Still attempting to get dressed but interrupted by Bean several times to answer questions on what Elmo is doing.

7:20 - After dressing self and finding something that does not make my butt look big attempt to get Bean dressed.

7:25 - Bean is arguing with me that he wants Cars underwear not Thomas. DUH!

7:30 - Bean and I struggle down the stairs to get shoes on. Have to stop to give both dogs kisses and hugs from both Bean and myself. Bean tells them to be good and he will see them later. (yes he has to do this everyday)

7:35- Cheer myself that we are out of the house on time. Load Bean in car.

7:36 - Realize I forgot Bean's change of clothes, my cell phone and purse. Get pissed and walk back inside.

7:38 - Can not find any of above items. Realize I put Bean's clothes in car last night. Purse is hanging on kitchen chair (how the hell did it get there?) and cell phone is MIA.

7:40 - Bud finds my cell. Under a pile of laundry. Nice.

7:42 - Get back in car to leave. Bean announces he needs to pee. Sigh. Unbuckle him and take him BACK inside.

7:45 - Back in the car and drive down the road.

8:00 - Arrive at school. Drop off Bean and give him 100 kisses and tell him I love him to pieces. He tells me to, "Go to work now." Nice kid.

8:10 - Walk into work, exhausted already.


Yep that's my day in a nutshell. Evenings are a whole other post.

I'm already lagging in my posts.

And I just started my job!
Anywho I love the new job. I have my own office that I can not wait to decorate. My 2 bosses that I support are really nice and laid back and I have a feeling this will be where I work for years to come. So I am excited about that!
Let's see what else. Oh Valentine's Day was yesterday. Keri wrote a really sweet post reminding us what the day is really about but I must fuss since I am kind of no REALLY pissed at my hubby.

Yes I know that the day is meant to signify our love and yada yada. But when we first started dating 10 years (yes 10 years ago!), I swear he tried a heck of a lot harder at holidays.
I mean I am not asking for a five course meal at a fancy doo da restaurant but I do expect things like A CARD!, maybe just maybe dinner MADE for me, SOMETHING!
A little history for ya. Our first V-day together I was 15 Bud was 16. We had just had a major car accident 2 months earlier and were still recovering.
Well I bought him silk heart boxers, a heart cookie cake that said "Be mine." (That's how hubby asked me out.) He bought me a locket.
It was so sweet and we went to dinner.
Now fast forward to today. Last night we had SLOPPY JOES for dinner with the entire family. It sucked. I mean he could have made me dinner or SOMETHING. I got no card. No flowers.
Well I said something to him and he said, "I bought you a necklace last week." A default gift. Nice.
Anyways needless to say he DID NOT get lucky last night.

I GOT IT!

Oh yeah ! I got the job. I found out yesterday afternoon! I am soooooooo excited. I start next Thursday. Hopefully my blogging won't suffer!
Thank you all for your well wishes!

Had my second interview...

with the company I REALLY want to work for. I think it went well. I answered all of their questions and they smiled a lot. (It was with 2 older men). They said that I was still in the running and that they would make a decision by next week. I really hate to wait. SO now I am sitting here dissecting the interview for good things. I'm bad at overanalyzing.
So they did keep saying, "when you start working here." and things of that nature.
Oh wowsie. I hate this. A lot. Can you tell?

Ugh. I must get a job soon.

This job search sucks. I am so bored during the day. Which is dangerous since it makes me wander off to the mall. Which leads to spending extra money that we no longer possess. Sucks.
I have two 2nd interviews on Friday and if one of those doesn't lead to an offer I am liable to punch myself.
What is the point of so many interviews anyways? For instance, one of the jobs I have had 2 phone interviews, a sit down interview and now I have a second sit down interview for the person I will be supporting. It is truly crazy when you think about it.
I mean did they have some bad luck somewhere down the line that makes them leery of who they hire?
Now the other second interview that I have on Friday is the job I REALLY want because:

1. It is close to Bean's daycare,
2. Close to home
3. Great money
4. And a job I can see myself staying at for years.

Both positions are for executive admins. Which is pretty cool. I fell like I am moving up int eh workplace tier.
But I really need to get a job. I am going to go crazy.
On a side note - Bean cracked Bud and I up today. Everyday when Bud goes to work he better I mean does kiss me and Bean goodbye.
Well today he was leaving and Bean said, "Are you going to make money today Daddy?" Too cute I tell ya.
