Got a new job! OMG the last two weeks have been non-stop stress!!! I had a job interview last Tuesday for a Medical Assisting position at a local doctors office. Last Friday they called and asked me to interview with the doctor on Monday. I did, It went very well, got the job. Did my physical today and will probably be working by next Wednesday. It has been a whirlwind of stress. To add to it, last weekend my 'Mexican' family was up from Texas. I hate to put it that way but its kind of how I do lol. My father immigrated here from Mexico before I was born, and although he was never a big part of my life I still see his side of the family from time to time. It's a very stressful time for me, they expect me to up and forgive my dad, not going to happen. Long story. But I survived that as well, thank god! I'm shocked to have a three pound loss this week, I really haven't been working out or paying too much attention to what I'm eating. But I'll take it! Now I'm faced with finding daycare for my two children. I have found a daycare that will transport my daughter to and from school, and offers a preschool program for my son. BUT it means taking both of my kids out of the schools they were in last year. I feel like it's a big sacrifice to ask my kids to make, but it's really what's best for our family. This job can put my husband and I in a place where we would be ready to buy a house next year, and I really want to be there. I'm dying for the stability and the permanence. So although I don't want to uproot the kids, if this is the final time than I guess it will have been worth it. Ugh! So much all at once. Isn't that the way it always goes? Say a prayer for me lol. I'm going to need it! Back to the gym tomorrow and trying to figure out how to stay on track!!
