Job! The braces?? Ugh!! Tell me about it! She agonized for days over which color to choose....narrowed it down to purple or blue. I think she had a poll going on instagram. Part of the 13 year old attention stuff, I suppose.
Her teeth were far worse than her brothers. She had to get an expander....one tooth just didn't have any room to come down on it's own. So, I had to crank that thing every night for 6 weeks!! Like a medieval torture device.
She was taking "selfies" in the waiting room. We had to get the before and after, of course. She's pretty excited. The pain hasn't begun yet.
It's going to be mashed potato poems tonight....
Thank you for the encouragement, job. I'm hopeful for the interview as well. It's a small company. The president has started up several in his experience. I'm planning to research him and his companies this evening. A few concerns with this one being one of his start ups, but it can also work positively.
I had the opportunity to make a pretty salary, but drive a total of 3 hours each day. I just can't make that sound good in my head, no matter what they pay. It would have been doable if my older boys were staying here. But, since it's now going to be me, single momming it with S16 and D13, my priorities have changed. Less money, more parenting. I'm comfortable seeking a lower level job to be more available for them. I'm all they have here. And they are all I have, too. And that's everything.
