It is 3:00 on a Friday morn.
And here I sit in the rain.
I could be sleeping or blah blah blah....
I was actually just sitting here thinking and suddenly my thoughts were set to one of my favorites--Billy Joel. Funny stuff happens in my mind.
Anyway, I have been up since 1:00. I swear I am 50 years old or older? Isn't 50 about the point where you have sleep issues unrelated to babies and such? Well, I am there. I am in crunch time. My hubby is due to arrive in just over 12 hours, my Momma will be in 24 hours after him, I am wrapping up my first TWO classes to my Autism certification (which have been awesome--if only I knew about online education back in the day---so much easier than onsite learning and much LESS work!), trying to create our Christmas card (which is being reduced to a photo card & possible letter from what I had initially planned), and I need to complete a job application (Yep, we'll see how this goes. I am going to apply to a job in Germany with DODDS but it will be administrative. Not sure I am completely ready, but I think I need to try. Oh and before my sister's freak out--we haven't gotten our orders so we don't know that we are staying overseas. I am sure this is as clear as mud, but it makes sense in our demented minds :) Needless to say, my mind is whirling and I am scrambling to get all this stuff done. Added to the chaos is the fact that we are leaving for China in less than 5 days and my husband hasn't received his clearance to go yet. We're saying a few prayers that this all falls into place. Oiy. Good think I tend to work well under pressure and perform best in stress. Hopefully that continues to be the case. With that, I bid you farewell. I must go write my 1 of 2 papers.

On the other hand, I hope that everything falls into place for Chris and your trip and GOOD LUCK with your classes/papers!!!!
The position is open now, but government jobs involve a long, drawn out hiring process. I was told it may be 4 months down the road until they actually hire, which by that point, we'd have our orders. I would then decline or withdraw my app should that need arise. I just want to apply and see if I'd get the job. Again, it is an administrative job, kind of like a special education director. I am simply trying to push myself up the ladder... whackadoo, I know!
