My Summer Break

This summer has been crazy.

I am sure we would all say that.

I mean really, it is August already.

One would think that I would be blogging more than I have.

I mean it is summer, and we really don't have a pressing scheduled.

This is what happened to me over summer break.

I got a job.

I worked up until the day before Baubi was born,

and she was ten days late.

After that being a mom was my job. 

it has been my full time crazy job for almost 15 years.

I was not looking for this job,

it came and found me.

I used to work for a friend who made coats.

She had a store at one of the ski resorts and her company made coats.

When Baubi was a baby I would sew her hats.

She had matching hats for her coats, 

and that is what I would sew for her while Baubi would be 

sleeping an playing in her crib. 

I did it for several years and then stopped about six years ago. 

In June I got a call from her.

I saw her name on my phone and thought...

Does she need hats?

Nope she was working for another company, and they needed a part time seamstress.

their full time one wanted to stay home with her son during summer break,

they needed someone to fill in for her three days a week.

I was honestly flabbergasted. 

I told her that I had to talk to Good Looking about it.

Now as some of you may know being a stay at home mom is not a lucrative position.

We have been trying to get out of debt and this little part time job would certainly help on that front.

I went in for the interview my first in over seventeen years.

I am sure I must have sounded like a dork.

When I heard that other people were coming in for the position,

I got competitive about it.

Now I am normally not a very competitive person.

When it comes to my sewing ability, I guess I get a little defensive about it.

I sent her an email and apologized for being a dork,

and telling her again how awesome I am.

Well you already know the rest of the story because I told you.

I got the job.

I work for this company, I get to make dress ups all day long.

I get to be covered in sequins, and sparkles.

I get to make all the cute fluffy things and get paid for it.

The only bad thing is I had to sign a 

non-compete, nondisclosure.

Oh the things I could be putting on this blog, you would die 

from cuteness, and I am not even lying. 

As you can tell from my posting, 

I have not conquered the world of a working mom.

I am tired and grouchy.

I feel like the girls are losing a little bit of their innocence, and it is my fault.

I guess that is the quandary of all working moms.

How to make it all work.

I do have somethings to show,

 and I still have openings in my swap if you want to play.

I want to say that I will be back tomorrow with a new post and a tutorial.

But part of me thinks their will be a breakdown somewhere in the day,

 and that plan will be for naught.

We will see how that goes.
