Wandering Around

Lately I have been taking a break from reality. I have been slacking on reading blogs, writing blogs, making my Pinterest to-do lists, and so much more but it's paid off. The past couple of weeks have been hectic! First things first, my hubby got a promotion! Yippee! He's been working longer hours, leaves home before L wakes up and gets home after she's in bed... it's been exhausting for the both of us to say the least. By the time he's home I am ready to throw in the mom card and go to bed. I think it's safe to say we both agree that we needed a break. Saturday our best friends got married and we had an awesome time eating, drinking, dancing... and drinking... oh, drinking... that's on the list already. We did a lot of that! It was a blast and I couldn't have asked for better company. All of our closest friends were there and we really enjoyed the night out. We need more parties like that... Who wants to go off and get married, again? :)

This past week I have really been working with L on her name... letters in her name. So far she knows L, e and n on certain occasions but the n is only a few days in the making! I am so, so, so proud of her! All thanks to my mom for giving me advice on how to get started learning letters! Oh, and she rocks at writing an L too! Yay! 

Last week I also had a job interview thanks to my dad who blabbered about me and how awesome I was at my jobs I've previously had. Partially, I felt obligated to set up a face to face interview to make him happy, but a little part of me was hoping to get a good offer too. I was going into this with an open mind to say the least. I rocked the interview,  surprisingly! The entire interview went better than I thought it would. I was doubting myself a bit due to the fact that I hadn't been working in a while,  and I lost all professionalism when all I do is play with a two year old all day and wear yoga pants. Which by the way, I wore to my interview too. Seriously, under a sweater dress but nonetheless I wore those yoga pants partially because none of my dress pants are comfortable and there was no way I was putting on heels when I could wear comfy leather boots. The interview went so well that she offered me a trial run to see how I would like it and then a full time position with unlimited opportunities in the future. I thought about it for a day... then turned it down. I feel as though my husband and I both value me being home with our daughter too much to take a low paying job that's not what I am passionate about doing for the long run. I value my life home with my little L too much to give it up for something that's not what I am passionate about. 

So here I am, home again and making the most of it. Since I have been absent from blogging I have been letting my mind wander about what it is I want to blog about next. Truth is, I thought about a lot but nothing really stuck with me. I guess I have been too wrapped up in my daughter, learning letters and her name, our names, our address, etc. and all the fun things I have learned about teaching a child who's brain is just a sponge at this age soaking it all in. I guess in time I will learn what it is I want to do, write about, make a purpose for this blog but as of right now I will let my mind wander away, thinking about the endless possibilities of writing a children's book, learning to knit and redoing my basement to make it cozier... updating the little things around the house and playing with my daughter. 

Until next time I blog about random nothings....
