So excited!
YAY!! I'm so excited! My friend is moving here!
It all started a week or so ago when my friend S. told me that she had a job interview here. This is a friend that I'd had back home, and she had since moved to first Virginia, then New York. I was really sad to see her go, so to hear that not only was she coming back to Texas, but that she might be coming to MY TOWN was cause for great excitement on my part.
Well, she came down and did interviews here and in another town, and had been waiting to hear back. She was at first nervous because they'd told her they would decide on Monday, and it was Tuesday and she hadn't heard anything. So she called today (Wednesday) to find out what was going on, and the lady she talked to told her that the position had already been offered to someone. So she was kinda bummed out...until the office she would be working for called her back and told her that she was who they were offering the job to! Apparently the first lady she had talked to hadn't known they were one and the same.
So now I have a friend, a friend from my life before, moving here! I am totally stoked. Maybe this will get me out of the house a little more. :-)
In other news, I finally got Princess enrolled in the private school I'd wanted to put her in. I had almost decided that I just couldn't do it, but both my dad and STBF talked me into doing it anyway. Now that I have met her teacher, and talked with some other parents from the school, I'm feeling pretty good about it. I think this will be a good thing for all of us. She won't start until after Labor Day, however, which is OK...but girlfriend needs to go to SCHOOL! And find some FRIENDS! Because she has become WAY too dependent on me for ALL of her interactions! I can't say that I mind overly much, as I have enjoyed the heck out of her since she's been here with me again, but she does need some friends her age, and some friends that are not her mom! She does know one or two kids in this area...but they are not in this town, and getting them together can be a bit of an ordeal. I'll be glad when she has some friends she can hang out with here, that doesn't take an entire day out of my time, every time. Should be exciting.
