The Simple Life at Home: My 70's Childhood Memories Come Alive!

Oh, yeah, baby!! Sing it, girl!!

Well, it seems as though I am spending my last days as a woman of leisure. (Ha!!!! Who on earth thinks stay-at-home-moms are women of leisure!?!? People who have never done it, that's who!!!)

The "trial day" went very well on Thursday. I enjoyed the work that I would be doing, as well as the people with whom I'd be working. It was fun, actually. The salary leaves quite a bit to be desired, but when you balance that against having the same schedule as my kids and being able to see them occasionally throughout the day, well, I guess it's worth it in the end.

I haven't officially accepted the job yet, as I am waiting for word if they will include a break in either tuition or some of the fees as part of my compensation package, but I'll probably accept the job either way. (Boy, I hope the human resources manager isn't reading this right now before she decides to offer us that break!!)

So today and tomorrow are my "clean the house like a maniac so it has a hope of staying clean since we will all be out of the house all day" days. I've got a huge to-do list and have to get cracking on it.

Then, of course, I'll have to don my slinky nightgown and high heels and make googly-eyes at Hubby tonight and "never let him forget he's a man!"

'Cause I'm a woman.

W-O-M-A-N!

I'm glad the trial run went well.

Here's hoping your manic cleaning day isn't too manic.

I've been having that day every day this week... getting baby stuff done. As I type, a load of newborn boy clothes are drying so I can fold and put them away. Last night Hubs and I had a little memory-lane session as we sorted through them all. Four weeks to go!; March 21, 2009 at 3:48 PM

So will you be working five days a week?

I am excited for you! It will be a tough adjustment, I'm sure, but you sound like you are up for the task.

That commercial makes me laugh. I can clearly remember singing it with my babysitter (the second verse) over and over again when I was a little girl in Houston, Texas. I never understood that bacon meant money though. I though the woman had just gone to the grocery store. lol!!; March 21, 2009 at 4:29 PM

Lori, I've been reading your blog for awhile but can't recall if I've ever commented. I don't recall how I found it either. But I live in Mozambique and I love reading about how you are processing living in a new culture. Your post on traffic could have been written about our streets exactly! And last week I found myself hoping I would find Triscuits on the shelf, my second favorite snack, after Cheez-Its! So thanks for writing!
Bless you as you start a new job!
