I'm Officially Done!

So I started the day with a job interview,three loads of laundry to fold and put away,and a laundry basket of clothes to iron. I also needed to help three kids with homework, and do the normal chores of the day. I finished the day having had a terrible interview ("I'll be honest with you: you're not such a good candidate that we're going to offer you the job right away. You'll be put into a pool of 5 other candidates to choose from for 2 positions. Most of our other candidates are of very high caliber." He said this AFTER he grilled me for a solid HOUR.) I still have three loads of laundry to fold, a basket of clothes to iron, and one child who never did finish his homework, even though he worked on it for 45 minutes.

But I'm done for the day.

March 12 is officially over for me. Time to hit the sack (as my dad would always say). I'm turning in. No ifs, ands, or buts.

Good night.

Except here's my five for today:

1. Bed. Right now I'm really looking forward to it.
2. Really wonderful, awesome, sensational neighbors. Even if they are moving today, darn it.
3. A husband who at this exact moment is folding two loads of laundry so the bed will be cleared off so I can occupy it very very soon.
4. A school teacher that took pictures of my daughter with the Jazz Bear at the assembly yesterday and printed the pictures for her to take home.
5. Seein my neice Lucy in ballet class. She's such a cute little thing!

My Favorite Movie

Okay, so this isn't the "real" trailer, but now I'm sooo excited to see this movie!

My five for today:

1. My sister Jeanette, who not only sent me this YouTube video, but also saved my interview for tomorrow by being able to open the attachment on my email. Thanks Jean!
2. Target. I love that store. And I found some killer deals on clothes!
3. My interview today went great. It's for an office assistant position at the Family Enrichment Center. I probably will not accept the job, but the interview was great practice for tomorrow.
4. Tomorrow. I have an interview at Western Governor's University and I hope THAT interview goes well! It's the ideal job: after 3 months I would be able to work from home.
5. Darin for watching the kids after school so I could wander Target.
6. My son: today he came home with a bandaid on his wrist. I asked him why and he said he couldn't tell me. I told him to tell me anyway, and he said, "I could tell you but I will lie about it." Is there such thing as being honest about lying? Hmmm.....AND, I never did find out why he had the bandaid.
7. Good weather AGAIN!!!
8. Twilight. Such a good, good, good book!

Okay, so it was 8 for today. I guess it never hurts to be more grateful than you planned, right?

Five a Day

My friend Shelby (who lives across the street in the formerly pink house) has an awesome blog. Every time she posts, she lists 5 things that she is grateful for. It is so uplifting to read her blog everyday. For some time now, I've been meaning to copycat her. I just never think to ask her if it's okay when I see her, and hardly see her as it is, even though she's just across the street. So I'm just going to go ahead and copy her without her permission. Here's my five for today:

1. Shelby, who's changing the blog world one person at a time (another neighbor has already copied her five a day, too. So if you think about it, I'm really copycatting two people.)
2. Beautiful spring weather. I love jacket weather!
3. Practice time to be thankful. This is harder than I thought!
4. Job opportunities. I have 2 interviews this week and an offer to think about.
5. My dad's paper cutter thingy that cuts any letters you want in any size. I forgot the name of it, but I spent 4 hours playing with it last Saturday.
