Can you guess which song is in my head right now?? Tick tock, tick tock....
Well, it's 12:20 here and I'm just now getting a chance to sit down. I don't want to jinx myself or anything here, but I nailed that interview! 
And I got the distinct impression that the lady who interviewed me liked me quite a bit and had already made her mind up even before I left her office. I feel like I got that job!

If I had to guess I'd say I was @ a 90% chance or better of getting offered the job. I'm so happy and excited!!!!!! Thank you to everyone who prayed for me and sent me good vibes!!! Now the waiting game begins........ 
*LOL*
*LOL*She said she'll let me know something by Friday, that she had 1 more interview already set up, and by the way she said it, it made me think that since she had already scheduled another interview it would be impolite to call whoever it was and cancel on them. Unless the next person comes in there with bells on their toes - I feel like she'll be calling me Friday to offer me the job. How exciting is that?!?!
I am just so relieved and happy, that was by far the very best interview I have ever had, and I've had quite a few in my lifetime, but none in over 15 years- (YIKES) LOL so I felt "rusty" before I went in there, but once I was in there you'd think all I did was interviews all day long on a daily basis as a profession. She was just so nice and I feel like she really liked me instantly. ((I know I keep saying this- but I am so happy right now))
If I get the job I'll be working 30-45 hours a week, it all depends on if someone is sick or on vacation, also, it looks like I'll be able to get the shift I was wanting (3rd) and I'll have every other weekend off. They give you 2 uniforms to start you out with, and we can wear any color of shoes. She said they are going to implement a "color" change in the uniforms but that it could be 3 months before that goes into effect. I'm just gonna buy me 2 new uniforms this Thursday and a new pair of shoes that's good for being on your feet for several hours.
**** If any of you out there have a job where you're on your feet most of the time and have some really good shoes, please leave a comment and tell me what kind they are and why you like them so much- I'd really appreciate that ****
So if she does call me Friday and lets me know I have the job I'll go to what they call registration on Tuesday and have my drug test and have a Hepatitis C test and vaccination and they'll copy my drivers license and social security card. I have to get a replacement card, I have looked and looked and I can't find mine anywhere. So I've gotta go to the SS site and print out a form to fill out and hopefully tomorrow I can find the time between taking my MIL to get her labs done in the morning and getting back here at my house to give my mom the car so she can go to her doctors' appointment. My mom has her license now and she likes to drive herself, so I let her. I always ask her if she wants me to go with her, so she doesn't feel left out or anything because I have to take hubby's mom. My mom says she doesn't feel left out in any way and I'm glad, I wouldn't want her to feel like that.
So I've gotta get a few things done this week, I've gotta get some clear or flesh colored "retainers" for my piercings (a retainer keeps the skin from growing up when you can't have in "regular" body jewelry) and I need a new pair of shoes (send me suggestions) and I'm gonna hit a few local uniform shops and get a couple of cute Disney themed uniforms. I've already found a Tinkerbell one I love online, so I'm gonna see if I can find it here locally without having to order it. I believe I'll be able to find it without a problem, and the other one I'll probably look for is a Pooh Bear uniform, I'm such a big kid! *LOL* And I've gotta get a new SS card, in case I get hired I'll have it by Tuesday (hopefully).
I feel like having this job is gonna help me get the last few pounds off, I really do. Because first of all I'll be doing a LOT more physically than I am now, and secondly, I'll be working in and around the E.R. and she said that it can get quite stressful at times and be demanding as far as workload goes- so I'm really hoping that all of the extra physical activity I'll be doing helps me lose these last pesky pounds. And as far as the stress goes, I'll keep a REALLY close eye on how I am feeling emotionally, because some people when they get stressed they stop eating or can't eat because of their nerves being bad. I'm right the opposite, when I get stressed I can eat the couch in the living room and turn around and start eyeing the chair (figuratively speaking).
I can really throw back the food when stress hits me hard. But I'm counting on buying a medium or maybe even a small in my uniforms and knowing that I am in that size might just be the mental help I need to stay on track with my eating. But no matter what, no matter how stressful my job (if I get it) happens to be, I'll never ever let myself gain any of that weight back.. I remember how the weight made me feel for the last 14 years and I never, ever want to feel like that again. So I will be conscious of my body and my mind and spirit and I'll eat healthy and drink my water and of course watch my portion sizes.
I feel like I'm gonna be in control of everything, because I'm in control of it now. Only every now and then do I have a slip up (like say when TOM shows his ugly head) but other than that I've done really well when it's come to not stress eating or eating out of loneliness, anger, fear, sadness, etc...
You know what song I've got going through my head right this minute? It should be an easy guess... "I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it- I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!" by The Pointer Sisters *LOL* I'm showing my age by that statement huh? 
Ok, so that's my update for now. My SIL has a doctors appointment @ 2:15 today and I'm gonna get my dishwasher unloaded and my floors swept and mopped before then. Ohhhh one more thing, if I get the job and if I get 3rd shift like I want- I'll still be able to take my MIL & SIL to their appointments and to the grocery store and all that... if for some reason I don't get 3rd shift my mom said she would take them. So everything will work out either way. but I'm really pushing for 3rd shift here, since I'm a night owl anyways and not really a morning person. Besides, I don't want to inconvenience anyone... I want everything to run smoothly and pretty much like it already is.
Ok, so I'm gonna run and try to get a couple of things done before I have to go. I hope that each one of you are having a terrific Tuesday!
Use today to see the results you want tomorrow!!
