A number of things...

While I am babysitting and the kids are in bed sleeping soundly I thought I'd update again.

Like I said before, my interview went well I think. It's hard because after you sit back and rethink it all you can come up with better articulated answers, etc. but I did the best I could do. Faribault is not as nice and clean as I remembered(or as I saw just off I35) The other music teachers seemed nice and into me I guess. The principal was a tan muscle guy who seemed cool, but he was the hardest to read for sure. I am supposed to hear back from them tomorrow? I don't see how they can really finish interviewing at 2:30 and come up with an answer that day. I mean, they have to call more references and hopefully put some thought into it. UNLESS, you know, it's a landslide. The whole thing just has me back thinking about jobs and how much I just wish with all of my heart I could just be in Owatonna. Why did I have to start in the ideal place for me? Ugh. Of course, I'll update tomorrow if I hear(when I am babysitting again).

I had asked the family I am babysitting for if I could bring my computer and use their wireless, but the problem is they totally forgot what their password was. In trying to figure it out, the dad messed up their connection before I even got here. So, after I fiddled with everything for about 30-45 minutes, I finally reset their router and started from scratch to set up a new wireless connection. I am just glad it's not left messed up! The kids were good tonight. It went by fast too. When I got to work today they told me up front that Keegan threw up and just got picked up so I didn't know what that meant for tonight. Turns out he was fine, just probably gagged on breakfast. I wouldn't doubt it. They met me there when I got off work and swapped cars and the whole thing. I took the boys to BK and we just ate, played outside, and watched a movie. Those boys are the EASIEST kids to put to bed EVER! I remember it being easy for me to put Jayden to bed before and being surprised. I wondered how it would be since he is older now, and I wondered how Keegan would be because I've never sat for him or put him to bed. Both laid right down and feel asleep, on time. Sheeeesh. So, that makes things a tad easier on me. Oh, and I love driving rich people cars, I just wonder what they think when they drive mine. :) I hope they don't come home too late because I still plan on making an appearance at the Joynt to see Michelle, etc. At the same time, I don't start work until 9:30am tomorrow. I do need to pack my suit and towel and shave my legs though. With this cold weather we were having, that COULD take awhile.

Last night it was fun to stop in Menomonie after my interview. Everyone except for Becky was randomly home. I know Theresa mentioned on her blog how amazing Morgan is, but seriously, she is. I feel like she has already grown so much. Her fingers and toes don't look so long because she is filling out. Even baby acne is cute, I am sorry. It was an unexpected fun night.

I need a new phone. Mine keeps dying if I talk to anyone longer than 5 minutes. It could be fine all day, but the second I am talking to someone it goes off. I am within my 3 months to renew contracts and get a new phone. I think I will go before we head down to Chicago next week. When I somehow fit it into the time I spend moving out too. I feel like I have had this phone forever, probably because I have had it just short of 2 years. It has been a decent phone considering it was very cheap and I dropped it ALL the time.

I keep waking up at 5am and then on the hour again. It's getting worse too because I am more wide awake each time. I am SURE it is totally due to lack of exercise and eating like crap mixed with stress. I want to just crash sometime and sleep until 10 the next day without waking up.

HIH is going fine this week. I talked to the assistant teachers about how we can improve and smooth some issues out. Hopefully they take it seriously and if not I'll just turn into a bitch. I have decided to stay until August 21st there. I was only going to stay until th 14th but I felt bad that they'd have to cover 2 weeks of shifts. I am toooo thoughtful, right? I don't know why I do this. I could still tell them no I guess, we'll see.

I felt HORRIBLE tonight because Laurie T called me to babysit tonight because Todd had another round of chemo today. I guess she needed to take care of him and have someone take the boys away for awhile. I had to tell her I couldn't because I was already babysitting(the one time this summer besides when I watched their kids). I hope she found someone. It makes me sad to even think about what that would be like to deal with.

Anyone watch So You Think You Can Dance last night? Speaking of cancer and sad, that dance that they did was great. I was all choked up because the judges and audience was.

I think I better go!
