Hannah wanted me to post her pic with her fancy, dancy backpack. And the other is a pic that M took one day of Nat when she had fallen asleep. ("Nice mouth Nat!")

I had my interview yesterday, and now the torturous week. The week where you do not know if they want you, or if they don't. The week from hell!

I am supposed to be doing my Espanol homework right now, but I lack the motivation. I swear, this semester is going to be a drawn out one. I have no pep to do my work. I've got to find some motivator to keep me going...god, I'm pathetic if I always need a motivator. Don't you think?

So, the Jeep is in the doctors right now getting an estimated 1,100/dollars medical treatment. (Cough, cough...oh, what is that? God! It's my "get-out-of-debt money"and visit my friend in CO money!) Okay, the Jeep wouldn't do that by itself, BUT the van is in desperate need of maintenance too. I am getting fearful of that thing, afraid the CV boot is going to just say, "No more work for you white woman!" and I'll be stuck. Or that the delicate balance with the radiator we have going on will just sway too far towards the favor of itself and if so,...Yeh, it's sad. But not as sad as my tone indicates. :)

Yesterday in my interview they ask, "How do you handle stress?" I say, "I believe that everyone has a public side and a private side to their life. In my public side, you will not see me exhibit a lot of stress. If I am under too many deadlines, or projects, I will communicate with my supervisor my stress and discuss how we might be able to temporarily re-prioritize my responsibilities. In my private life, I become introverted and stick to my core. My core being; work, family and school. I hope that my friends will understand my situation and allow me to do what I need too to handle my stress, and when things are calmer, if they are my true friends they will still be there." And than to throw a lighter note I added, "Oh, and of course after the kids go to bed I like to lie on the couch and watch a couple of TV shows, or read a book. (said with laughter)" They laughingly acknowledged that. :) When I told M. this he said, "You should have said that you work-out or something."

Well, I've procrastinated too long. I'm so glad they asked nothing about whether or not I had a problem with procrastination! Adios.

PS My friends that have been kindly waiting to hear from me, thank you! Thank you for your patience and quiet support! You mean alot to me, and I do think of you often, even if I do not pick up the phone or write you an email. That goes for family too.
