I've been feeling really awful lately.
I miss my man, I miss my family, and I feel all around useless.
I didn't get the job I interviewed for.
It was really, really hard to hear that I just missed out on a great job. And even though I'm applying to a bunch of other places, filling out applications until I think I might go mad; nothing seems to be coming of it.
I went for a walk today with my camera. I just needed to get out for a bit and step away from the stress of applying to jobs that aren't calling.
The flowers in the small park by my house are blooming like crazy, and as I got closer, I could hear the buzz of the bees who were flying from blossom to blossom. 

I watched them work tirelessly for about half an hour. They bounced from one bud to another, never stopping in one place for longer than a few moments.

They didn't have time to feel sorry for themselves. Even if there wasn't anything in a certain spot, they just moved on to the next thing and tried there.

I've decided that there's no point in sitting around feeling sorry for myself. 
Maybe I won't find a job at one place. I'll just get up and move to the next spot and see what I find there.

I just need to keep myself busy and eventually I'll find something. I know it.
And how adorable are these bees? They would just dive right into these flowers with their bottoms in the air. It brightened my day just enjoying all of these little bee butts!

Dear Bedroom,
I really want you to be clean. I don't have the gumption to clean you. I'm going to go to sleep tonight, and I'm going to hope you'll be all spotless when I wake up. If you aren't, I'll be very put off. Kay thanks.

Highlights:

• 3rd-4th ~ Went for morning walks with my dad. Love that man.
• 6th ~ Went to a church activity (combined FHE) but it was canceled for Labor Day.
• 10th-13th ~ Alyson here to visit.
• 12th ~ Family Pictures

• 20th ~ Church activity (FHE) We ate leftover spaghetti and played holy boards. It's similar to horseshoes. Both of which I am terrible at.
• 21st ~ Interview at Prime Time 4 Kids. I got the job!
• 22nd ~ First day of work!

Today has been a whirlwind crazy day. And I've only been awake for 5 hours. Let's recap.

11:30 AM: I'm half asleep in bed, my mind on the verge of waking up and my body trying to force it to roll over and go back to sleep. I hear footsteps coming down the stairs and I groan to myself. Being one of the only three things in the basement worth anyone coming down for, someone was probably going to knock on my door in a moment. I prayed that it was someone to do some laundry, but the sound of knuckles rapping on my door met me. I ignored them. Sometimes they'll just go away. This wasn't one of those time. The door opened.

It was my sister. She handed me a piece of paper with my aunt's name and phone number on it. She explained that my aunt had been offered a child care job (I love working with kids) but had turned it down and thought I might be interested. I was up in an instant and called her back and got the information.

1:00 PM: By this time, I had called my aunt, gotten the information, called the office and had set up an interview for 3:30. Yes. Two and a half hours. I fixed up my resume, organized my small portfolio, and tried on multiple outfits. As time went on, I got more and more nervous. I hurt because I was so nervous. I shaved my legs, fixed my makeup and hair.

3:00 PM: I ran out of things to do. I was freaking out. I haven't had an interview in months and really wanted this job. It sounded perfect for me.

3:30 PM: I'm sitting down from a very friendly woman. She was so easy to talk to, and the interview went well. She showed me around the building. I was very prepared to act like this guy until they gave me the job!

3:55 PM: Just enough time to stop at Sonic which is down the street to get a Happy Hour (half off) Raspberry Limeade. Mmm.

4:00 PM: Hugged my dad in the street as I said these words: "I start tomorrow at 8:30!"

That's right folks! I'm no longer unemployed! I woke up this morning with no leads, no prospects, no job. And within 5 hours, I am a working gal! (But I have plenty of time to blog. It's only 9 hours a week.)
