I TALK TOO MUCH!!
Life is a mystery.
My sister and her two kids came down this past weekend. We had a blast, we went bowling and to a movie with her family and my dad and stepmom, and just spent time together as a family. Something i really miss since my family never seems to have time to spend together.
Monday was back to the routine of being home with my kids. Let me start by saying, anyone that knows me, knows how much my children mean to me. However, in the same breath, anyone who knows me, knows how much i LOVE to talk, and love adult interaction. I can strike up a conversation with any stranger at any time... haha... that said, i am ready to join adult life of employment again. This past Friday, i got a call from one of my old co-workers who let me know that the company that i have been pining to work for, called her with some information. To my dismay, i had not received a call yet. So i decided to do what i had never done. Time to pimp myself out...haha...i called my old AE, who by the way is absolutely awesome, and my old boss, who is also awesome, and filled them both in. Monday morning, an email from both, with their full support, and an email from the SVP of the company that i want to work for, requesting a phone interview. I called him yesterday, and after a brief interview, was told he would send details this morning and if everything checked out, i should receive a formal offer in about 10-14 days. WOW!! i really hope this works out, and i cant imagine for the life of me why it wouldnt.
In my excitement, i look to my husband for support, and equal excitement, after all, i would join working society again, and contribute to our house again!! YEAH..you would think...i get hit with a very sarcastic, cold attitude. The kind that just makes you want to slap him..UGH..MEN!!!... well, he heard me on my interview tell the man, that i was not cut out to be a stay at home mom, and i was ready to go back to work. THIS IS THE TRUTH!! i have never been a stay at home mom, i tried it with my first son, and it lasted 4 or 5 months. I am sorry, it would be different if we had money without me working, but just getting by, is not my idea of a good life, nor, is it something i am willing to settle for. So, my much wanted excitement was not that. However, it made me realize that i have to do what is best for me and my kids, and he will have to get glad in the same pants he got mad in. Life cannot be spent pleasing other people if it is at your expense. At some point, you have to do what is right for your kids and yourself, and let the rest of the world go on as they may.
Well, after dealing with that, i went across to tell my inlaws- who greeted me with the much similar attitude of their son. Complaining about the possibility that there may be traveling, for training...and that my hours would be the same as they were with my last job, 10-7, which i didnt mind, but apparently, inconvenienced everyone else... Hello people, whatever happened to I am happy for you, if this is what you want, we will support you. After all, i did not have the kids myself, their dad had a hand in it, and it is just as much his responsibility to be there for them as it is mine. I am always there. If they have doctor appointments, i am there, if they are sick, i am there, if they have activities, i am there. Everything, everytime, no matter how hard it makes it for me, i am there. Why is it that just the mom should sacrafice??? Whatever, they are my children, and at the end of the day, they know who loves and supports them, and who would stop at nothing to ensure they have all that they deserve. and the rest, well, they can just grumble until they die!!!!
