Job Interview Today

I come downstairs dressed in my business attire this afternoon. Elizabeth asks if we are going to church. I said no, mommy is going for a job today. "On Webkinz???" she asks. No, not today, it's a real job that pays less than the fence painting on Webkinz (and I've mastered that skill!). My interview is for a company called Home Instead. I'm applying to become a Care Giver, who assists the elderly (usually in their own homes) with anything they need help with whether it's preparing a meal, doing light housekeeping, or just companionship. I've always wanted to work in the medical field, but I do not want to prick people with needles or change old man diapers--as appealing as that sounds. I need to bring 3 personal references with me. I've asked my friend Kristin and she said she'd try to find some nice things to say about me. This morning, she sends me this e-mail:

GOOD LUCK!!! I know you will do great and if it is something you want then I know you will get it. You have kindness, compassion, and the ability to get it done (and of course a great sense of humor) show them that and it will be clear to anyone that you are the person they need for this job. However, be sure not to mention the short fuse with your loving children and sometimes Joel. How do they bring out the worst in us? Ha ha.


Love you and Good Luck,

Kristin

It brought tears to my eyes that she thinks so highly of me. She is a great friend, thank you for always being there Kristin!

First Day of Blogging

What am I doing? I have three small children and I'm BLOGGING. I don't have time for this. I don't even have time to breathe, let alone blog. Dishes to do, laundry to fold, floors to sweep, sales to find, surf the internet, feed-burp-change newborn, let out dog to pee (she gets ignored on a regular basis anyway), dinner to prepare etc. etc. etc. My husband will ask the dreaded question, "what have you done all day?" Well, I'll say, you have Holly Homer to thank for this unkept home. See, I do everything Holly does. Holly does yoga, Michelle does yoga. Holly does Pokeno, Michelle does Pokeno. Holly has a third child, Michelle has a third child. Holly trades in a Toyota Sequoia for a Honda Odyssey, Michelle does the same. Holly makes friends on Party Poker, Michelle finds long lasting friendships on Party Poker. Holly blogs, now Michelle blogs. What is the Holly obsession you ask? I met Holly at the Texas Motor Speedway Club one day way back in 2004. We were just finishing up a yoga class, she follows me in the ladies' locker room and practically tackles me down to introduce herself. "Hi, I'm Holly, you look like a very nice, fun person, I need friends, would you like to play Pokeno with me?" Holly asks. "Sure!" I say and our friendship blossoms from there. My time in Texas would not have been the same without my friend Holly. This post is dedicated to you my friend! Did I do this right???? http://www.junecleavernirvana.blogspot.com/ (Holly's blog)
