I had my (yes, please hold your laugh in for the sake of my self esteem...) first job interview!! I know! PATHETIC! Well, let me explain. I've never HAD to look for a job before. I've been doing the same thing since I was 15...but I've been bored with it for YEARS and wanted something different to do. We have to have the income for now, but I wish I could get the income doing something I want to do instead of what I dread doing. (I like the design part of my job...it's dealing with clients I don't like.) So I interviewed today at Icon to be a Photo Assistant. Which I'd love. But I was really nervous during the interview...and forgot most everything I wanted to say of course. It was good practice i guess. I stressed so much afterwards about everything I SHOULD have said...it made my head hurt. I really wanted this job...it was a great opportunity for me, and would have been exactly up the ally of work I want to be doing. Ah well. It was practice at least.
Then if that wasn't enough for my emotions for the day, I had a test in art history today...(a pathetic moment once again...I'll give you a moment to stifle that laugh) It's been over 6 years since I had to take a test...what can I say...art projects are SOOO much more fun then classes you have to take tests in. I studied for 3 days for this test. I memorized everything I needed to, she said it would all be multiple choice, so I was ready for it. But then we get there, sit down for the test, and she announces she decided NOT to have it be multiple choice. We had to memorize bronze age vocabulary and instead of having definitions to choose from, we were to write the definition. Well not hard for SMART people I'm sure, but it stressed me out majorly, because when I memorize things, I usually just pick a few words out of the definition to associate with the word, and when given multiple choice options to choose from I can usually figure it out. I think I did ok, but I spent a LOT of time second guessing myself. I had the answer right the first time on a couple of my questions, but then I changed them on a whim. Ugh. So I know I got some wrong that I at first had right. So there you have it. My crazy emotionally exhausting day.
On a happy note, I finally took some pics of my new hair do! It's been fun to do some changing up. I have always been so scared of change, so I decided to take it head on this year. So as much as I hate photos, here's my photo for all to see. They aren't great because I had to take them myself...but oh well. Love it or hate it...it's me for a while.
Aspen is having fun doing Joy School and dancing. She is one busy girl. She and I have been struggling lately to reach a balance with each other, because she has become SOOOO demanding. Some days I don't know what to do with her. We try a lot of different techniques with her. Time outs. Take away her blankie. Put her in her room. Consequences. It's all just ridiculous. She is usually so sweet, but lately she is being such a little bug and I'm not sure why. She tells me it's because she is a BIG GIRL now and she wants to do things herself. I guess she is partly right. She's almost 4. Can you believe it!? My baby is almost 4. I really can't think about it much. Especially when I try to rock her at night, she is so big now, I can't hold her standing up for long, and I won't lie. I get very teary eyed. I love my little stink. I guess she is just growing up and I have to stop trying to stifle her growing. I'm going to have to work on a new way to communicate with her. Did I mention she lives in pajamas...I really do try to get her dressed, but she hates clothes. As soon as we get home, or as soon as I drop her off at my moms house, the first thing she does is run to her room, strip off her clothes, and put on her footie pajamas. She says they are more comfy and keep her warm. She is so silly and fun sometimes.
In the meantime. I'm going to get a little sleep and wake up refreshed tomorrow.

I like the dark hair! Well. Your teacher sucks. It's pretty rude to pull that on you. And that's funny about your first job interview! Whenever I walk away from interviews, confrontations, etc., I always think of what I should've said. My brain needs to work faster!
Well I just love you! I am so used to Shanda with blonde hair, but you look amazing with dark hair too! I can't decide what I like more!
A job interview and a big test all in one day makes for one HUGE day! You deserve a break today, I think, even if it's just a 5 minute ice cream break. :) Aspen is growing up so much! I love that she loves her pajamas so much... a girl after my own heart for sure. :) And I really do love your dark hair, such a fun change. :)
I miss you, girl. Hope you're doing well.
I think the footie pj's sound much better than Sam's choice of wet pants and poopy underwear... since he won't sit on the potty and won't admit that he's had an accident. So lovely.
It's been almost 5.5 years since I've taken a test and I think I'd probably poop my own pants if I had to try. I feel like my brain has turned to mush.
Anyway, I'm proud of you for finishing school. Love you!
I totally understand where you are coming from on the test. I do the same thing ... freak out, second guess constantly, change answers from right to wrong! It's all so frustrating but in the end all that matters is that you pass which I am sure you did. I also feel for you on trying to find different ways to discipline ... when you find something that works let me know ;) Also, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your hair dark. It looks so cute on you. I hope I can help you out soon by watching Aspen!
Love your hair. You look like a whole new woman. It is a fun change. I can't believe Aspen is almost 4. That makes me feel old. To exhausting days: taking them one at a time!
