So toady is once again supposed to be the big day where the people from my potential new job get back to me about whether or not I am hired. I am keeping, my hopes up, but I have to admit that waiting does sometimes make me nervous. Working out this morning did help take my mind off of it, but as I get ready for work, I cannot help but think of starting over again with a new job. I am excited by the prospect of a shorter commute, but I have to admit that I have gotten used to my routine and it will be hard to go back to traditional hours after having mornings to myself, but after going in super early one day last week and the week before only to be saddled with more work I am not sure if that statement continues to apply.
The people in my life who love me have been trying very hard to keep me upbeat about all of the tension surrounding work and with that intention, Mallow graciously offered to watch LoLo and Suga Saturday night. This was great because I cannot remember the last time that Husband and I were kid free after dark. We also had a easy breezy morning because rain caused soccer to be canceled. We schleped around in our pajamas for a while and got ready to go with Mallow. Then Husband and I hit the ground running. We went to dinner, shopping and a movie all by 9:35. We left the house at about 5. Then we went to see a not so close friend at his lounge because it is our goal for the year to be more supportive of local businesses, especially those run by people we know, but they were closed for renovations. That left us with nothing to do. We are usually chasing people through the house at this time reminding them that we have to get up early tomorrow and that the IPad is not a bettime toy.
I called Mallow and she suggested a few things, one of which had to be a joke. She suggested we go to a club. I let her know in no uncertain terms that I would not be entering a building where they would potentially play Lil' Wayne and actually be serious. Then I called Jigga to find out what she does on kid free nights. She eats. A good idea except for the fact that we had already eaten. I called Mallow back because I told her I would give her 10 minutes to come up with a better plan before I fired her as my cool single friend. She came up with better one's this time, but none seemed appropriate for us. The best part was when Husband looked at me earnestly and asked what else there was to do. I had to laugh as I looked back at him and responded as lovingly as possible, "How would I know? You may remember me as the woman lying next to you in bed at this point in the night."
We went a local place and played pool. Well, Husband played. I did something more akin to making a mess of his planned shots because pool and my lack of spatial awareness are a joke together. The best part was that with the exception of a few times in the beginning, Husband and I did not talk about work or kids or bills or whatever it is we talk about all week. We just had fun. We laughed and acted like the people we were before the rings, the house and the responsibilities. It was an awesome way to to spend the weekend. NO worries, but...
Monday is here again and I am waiting to hear if I will have a new job and inspiration to share.
