Pro-cras-tin-ator

I even stretch out the word!

I have a second interview tomorrow for a Winnipeg position with AFM. Unfortunately I have been putting off preparing for the interview (I have another presentation to pitch) because I have just feeling like I'm running constantly behind with things at home. Tonight, I did my research and now I just have to put it all together in a cohesive and comprehensible 10 minute presentation. Yikes.

Ava was having a bit of a tough day today, being a little whiny and inconsolable briefly at times. Marc and I figured out why - she is cutting her first tooth! I finally saw the elusive toofie (my slang for teeth) this afternoon when she was lolling on the bed with Marc and I after Marc woke up from his sleep after working last night. We could feel it, and see it, so it's really there!

Today was a mentally tough day for me - I am feeling stressed out about going back to work even though it is five and a half months away, I desperately want a position closer to home yet I'm feeling completely unprepared for this interview. I also feel like I'm single-parenting it a lot more these days...Marc has gone in for his last night shift tonight, but he has courses on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week and is back at work Sunday. Some days, even though I love spending time with my daughter, I almost wish I could go to work for a day and just be ME. I know this is clearly selfish, but I can't help it.

Well, enough putting it off. I better get this presentation palatable enough for tomorrow's interview...

Hi Angel,

I don't think that is selfish at all, ESPECIALLY considering all the time you need to spend alone these days with a little madame who is cutting her first teeth!!!

Good luck on the interview today. We'll be sending you good vibes!!!
