Week of Chaos and so Why Don't We Throw an Interview in the Mix?!

My week started off a little rough...

Packed up Emily and Eli to head to daycare, looking for a small break from constant kids (Bryan worked all weekend so I was the single parent- I am so not good at it) so Monday was going to be like a half vacation... just me an Eli till 4:30...

That is until I pulled up and found out that there was no daycare that week...crap.  I had thought it was just Thursday and Friday.  Nope.

So after I called Bryan to tell him my goof and have a mini meltdown that I had to take care of the two little ones all by myself all week (and I am talking about 6 am to 11 pm) he called back to tell me he reworked his schedule so I would have a partner in crime a few of those days....

Thank god my husband read my mind other wise I might just be a little more nutty than I already am.  And because Tuesday I got the call that they wanted to schedule me for a phone interview for the internal position that I had applied to.  Fabulous - and Bryan was going to be home at that time - wonderful!!!

And then the call came that they wanted to schedule me for my panel interview for Thursday at 2 pm.... well that wasn't as fabulous since Bryan will be at work all day... but thank god I have a fabulous cousin who is going to be a teacher and loves kids and had made a comment about baby sitting and how she wasn't going to see Em & Eli since she was moving to the other side of town.... Well being the problem solver I am ....(okay okay she saved my ass completely)

Then it was off to my closet to see if any of my professional clothes still fit (big fat no).  My suit cut me in half right where I did not need any attention - not even Spanx could save that outfit... then all the skirts came out... no go there.  Then the call to Bryan went out... told him the sad state of affairs and he said what every wife wants to hear...

"Well then, we will just have to go to the mall and get you something then.  I want you to feel as confident as you can."

Love him sometimes.

So... yesterday we packed up the troops and headed to the mall - and was really successful!!! YAY.

So now I am doing everything you should not do to prepare for an interview - blogging, burping a baby, watching VH1 music videos trying to calm my nerves...

Maybe I will start writing down all my wow stories and a summary of why I am fabulous just to remind myself so I am not going ....ummm...ummm...ummm in my interview....

I hate this process minus the dress up part FYI.
