Flies in my coffee, Job Interviews, & Morning Thoughts

Good Morning, my fellow humans who have also been up since the crack of dawn!

Today is Wednesday. A gloomy, rainy, wet Wednesday.
I've been up since 4:30 with Aubrey. He's now thankully in his room watching Charlie and Lola, drinking his morning smoothie, giving Mama some peace and quiet.

I made some coffee this morning. Did the normal brewing routine.
Clean the grinder, clean the pot, add the water, grind the coffee, etc etc etc. I sat my perfectly brewed cup down on my computer desk to cool off for a bit. UNATTENDED. I went to drink it and to my surprise, there was an extra bit of seasoning in there. 

I don't know why horror movies scenes exist in real life, and I can't tell if I hate it?? I'm traumatized, but hey. At least they weren't spiders. 

Today is a big day. We're packing up our garage that I have been dreading since moving into this house. I'm terrified I'll meet a spider and kill it out of fear. (In a fight or flight situation - I'm a killer, Bella)

It's also a big day, because at 3:30 I have an unexpected job interview that could change a lot for us as a family. It's a teaching position at a Montessori school. Full-time, 5 days a week, with a salary pay and 90 days of PTO. Does this sound too good to be true? Yes. Am I going to give it my all anyways? Yes. I'm just hoping and praying everything works out.
I've always wanted to be a teacher. Ever since I was a little girl. It's a dream I never thought I'd be able to achieve, as I left my toxic school system in high school and never went back to get my degree. I HATE that you need a piece of paper saying you're capable of doing something.
I've gotten around JUST FINE without any sort of degree or diploma. School is so weird. Its a truly toxic place.

Instead of learning bum-fuck algebra, I was learning people skills.
I was learning how to solve problems in the real world. It made me a better person. I love where I am today. I may not be able to do the longest algebra equation, but I can nail an interview or meeting in seconds.
I'm not saying that if you went to school and you loved it that it was for nothing - in-fact - I'm ENVIOUS of you. I'm just saying school is built for a certain kind of learner. I unfortunately was not that, and I was fed to the dogs at a young age. I also have Dyscalculia... so that doesn't help hahahaha.

What I've learned from the morning is to never leave your coffee unattended, don't try to change a raging toddlers diaper without singing The Wheels on The Bus, & always take any opportunity you can. 

I'll pop back on after the interview for an update...
