wow...it's been a LONG week!

Well, I have been up, and I have been down, and I have been up, and I have been down!  I'm about to get motion sick from it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I haven't really been on here much, so I don't know how many of you know this, but I am taking the kids and I am moving back to the Dallas area.  I am SO excited about it!!!  I can't wait!!!  I hate this stupid, black hole of a town, and I am SO glad to be FINALLY getting out of it again!

In the last week, I have had a house, lost a house, got that house back, lost that house again, got another house, applied for about 5000 jobs, had a job, lost my current job because they found out before I gave them notice that I am looking for another job, found the job of my dreams, and now have NO idea if I am going to get it!  I have gotten a guilt trip from my fiance, gotten fed up with my sister TONS, including right now, and generally been through the ringer!  I am trying to remember that everything happens for a reason....Even though there are things I liked about the first house that we don't have at this house, I think this house is better for us in the long run...out in the country, bigger.....lots of benefits.  I really hope this job comes through....

  As all of you know, I am an administrative assistant.  I have been an administrative assistant since I got my associates degree in 1999.  I have worked for more companies than I can even remember (since I have worked for a lot of temp agencies), and in more fields than I can count.  And, as you also know, I HATE my current job.  Well, my LAST job, now...because they fired me on Wednesday.  Said I was tardy too many times.  Well, I know that is not the reason, because in the time period my boss was talking about, I was only tardy one time, and that is when it was raining so hard it took me an HOUR to drive the 30 miles to work!  I was responding to an email about a job in the Dallas area, and my boss came in from lunch and saw it.  He pretended like he didn't...but then two hours later, the HR lady from the downtown office showed up, and thirty minutes later, they called me in the office and fired me. 

(lol...this looks so much like my old boss!  The combover and everything!)

So, anyway, they gave me time to clean things off my computer and get my stuff together, and here I am....unemployed.  Well, ya know....I can't be too upset about it.  I hated it....I have tried to force myself into an upset depression about it...but it's just not working!  lol!  I need the time to get everything ready for us to move, so I think this happened for a reason.  But....back to the point....I have been doing this kind of work so long, and I am so tired of it.  I got the degree I got because I knew it would keep me employed.  I did what I had to do.  I worked the jobs I have worked because they paid the bills and put food on the table.  Again, I did what I had to do.  And when we get to Dallas, if I have to, I will get another job just like all those others...because I will always do what I have to do to pay the bills and keep food on the table....BUT...I am so tired of it!  I'm sure I have ranted about this before....but I am tired of doing what I have to do!  I want to do something I enjoy and something I WANT to do!  Now, don't get me wrong...I am a GREAT admin assistant....not to brag or anything, but that is the one area in my life that I feel complete confidence in!  But I DON'T like it...at all.  I do it, and I do it well, but I don't do it because I want to.  SO......I looked for places that do the kind of work I WANT to do in the Dallas area, and I emailed a bunch of them and asked if they had any open positions.  One responded and said that they were always looking for new talent, and she wanted me to send in my resume!  So I did...and now I am waiting to hear back from her.  PLEASE, everyone, put this on your prayer list for me!  I want this job so bad.....it makes my heart swell up inside to think I may actually have a shot at getting into this industry!  Even if I have to start from the bottom, even if I have to do admin work until I can work my way up.....at least it will be a start!  Can anyone guess what it is????  Here's a hint:

Yep!  You guessed it!  Iwant to be a wedding and event planner!!!  I really think i have a knack for it, and I think I would love it and be really good at it!  So, please, everyone....think happy thoughts, pray for me, whatever you do....please do it!  I feel like this is a HUGE turning point in my life.....

Well, folks, it is almost three in the morning, so I am going to go.  Thanks for listening to my rambling, lol!  I will be back to post pics of the new house tomorrow!!!!
