I'm having myself a nice ole evening. Sitting with my feet up on my recliner, watching Shark Week. Love it. So my babies are home! Princess grew at least an inch and Duchess def grew two inches! So excited to have my babies around. As usual, Princess cracks us up. The wisecracking mouth is back in the house, good night. Duchess is as cautious and loving as usual. Dave/I are just enjoying the absolute mayham that comes with all this mess.
Princess managed to miss passing her permit test by one question. Kinda feel bad for her but it is what it is..... So her truck just sits in the driveway. She gets one more shot before Daddy says she can wait another year and try again. If she wants it bad enough, she'll do the work and pass. (Sure it doesn't help that her best friend was all like, I passed with 100%, lol)
Duchess missed her momma. Good lord but that child is a mess. At least three nights a week at bedtime, we'd be snuggled up on the phone just chatting and counting down the days till she was home. While she had a blast, she really likes to be at home. Yeah, I totes get that. She's going through a critical stage and I've had to have several talks lately about "yes, you do have to have friends" and my little smartass is all "you don't and you do just fine" (stop laughing Mae) so I'd like to point out that yes, I do have friends. I'm just really freaking picky and frankly, I have all the friends I need. They rock. People suck. Damn, totally see where the kid gets it.
Soooooooo my momma and daddy spent the week. We had some fun. We cooked, we hiked, we did some sight seeing. They got to see our life here in nowhere Montana. Or as Dave calls it Montucky. It's not glamorous at all but it's home. Dave rarely if ever asked me to do anything that is connected to his work. Except a Canadian bigwig was visiting and auditing his branch.... and brought his wife and kids. Kinda dreading it until I realized she cracked me up and her boys were fun and well mannered. Sweet Jesus, did they love my momma though, omgawd they luv my mom. She's the best. Go ahead and envy me now, my momma is da shit.
Lord help me, I've been busy as shit though since they left. So I've put my resume together. And yes, I realize that I'm freshly conferred and do not even have my degree in hand yet. BUT..... I'ma go getter what can I say. And I have a very strong supporter in my pocket cheering me on. So I've applied for a few things..... but I'm really worried cause where we currently live there are VERY little local opportunities. So basically there are lots of jobs in the bigger cities around oil nation up here but I really really really really really don't want to move there. Frankly, my kids deserve more than that. So yeah, I'm looking for a balance. Somewhere I can use my degree and still be in a community where my kid can ride her bike around the block and etc. So yeah, basically I'm throwing it all up in the air saying.... all you Lord!
And the most awesome part.....I got a call and had an interview. Ima say no more for now...... just that as usual, I get my heart set on something and now I really really really want this one. Would not require me to move but still give me a good step onto a career path. Oh and I looked like an adult too... suit, heels, hair, makeup.... you'd not have recognized me, lol................ I won't know the results for awhile (hopefully by school starts) so I'll keep you posted.
So we are staying busy. Princess was busy today sheering sheep (yeah, don't ask) and Duchess spent part of her day hanging out and visiting with her friend. I joined a local community organization (yeah so was invited to the meeting and sponsored by one of the people in my interview, that is a good sign right?) then I made yummy cheezy balsamic chicken, washed all the laundry, moved four strips out of the yard before I broke the mower and put my exhausted amazing husband with a sore neck (? slept wrong?) to bed at 730 (I loved his excuse, let's just snuggle on the bed for a minute, snore, snore, snore, lol) and I stripped down the fridge and cleaned the utter shit out of it then rearranged my shelves in there, cause I'm a freak of nature.
Rambling complete.......... back to great pics to come.
