The nonprofit asked if they could feature me in the volunteer spotlight portion of their newsletter. I of course said yes. But does this mean...I didn't get the job? The ED said she'll be sending offers by the end of the month. I haven't heard anything more from her since our conversation earlier this month. Or has she not said anything to the team and they have no idea who is being considered. Which is a realistic thought, despite how small they are I doubt those conversations are with everyone. Or maybe this will work in my favor in that she'll see that the team likes me? I'm just nervous and I can't stop thinking about it and what it means if I do/don't get it.

Anyone who says summer is their favorite time of the year is lying to themselves.

"I have never seen a cat that showed affection/love for it's owner" is the pet ownership version of "I don't believe in Female Orgasms they don't exist, after all, my wife has never had one"

I hate that I had to write a note to myself to remind my husband to bring the Christmas stuff down from the rafters while he's here for two seconds next month. He won't be back again until just before Christmas. He says he'll come for Thanksgiving but I don't want to bet on it.

The different parenting trials and tribulations between myself and my mom become more and more obvious the older my child gets.

I was talking to my mom about going to book clubs. She says that's so great that you're getting out of the house. I said yeah it's cool I just wish it didn't cost me $100 every single time. She goes what but why?! Ummmm because I gotta pay the babysitter? Because it's always at a restaurant or bar and it's during dinner and if I want to eat before 9pm I gotta do it there? It like didn't compute for her.

Ooooooh riiiiiiight, you've always lived down the street from family that you trust and have a good relationship with. You just dumped me there. Pretty confident I spent more time at my grandparents house than my actual house until high school and then I spent it at my friend's house. My mom did whatever it is she had to do, I'm not mad at her for how my days were spent. It's just irritating that there's no understanding or sympathy that every thing I do has to be planned in advance and budgeted.

I have what I guess is an interview labelled as an informal conversation tomorrow as a follow up with the nonprofit.

David asked me if I'm excited. Girl, no. He said he hopes it goes well. My dear, I have lost any and all traces of hope about a year ago. He said he'll hope extra hard then to make up for it. Stop being so cute and optimistic, it's gross. But really don't stop because it's literally the only reason I keep applying places.
