ME day
I took the whole day yesterday and had a Donna day. It was needed. I first went to go meet a friend for some shopping and some lunch. She sent me a text message (after I left home to meet her) that she was unable to make it. So… I went and met with a different friend. I helped paint a little playhouse at preschool. That was fun. Then I still needed to go shopping. I took myself to a local mall and shopped for quite a while. I got a bunch of new clothes for me that I can wear to school. It was a productive trip. At the very end, I picked up a couple pairs of shoes. I asked the gal at the shoe store if I could use the restroom there and a pair of scissors. She gave me a weird look and a pair of scissors. I went to the bathroom, cut the tags off of some of the clothes I had just purchased, put on the new clothes and the new shoes. I gave back her scissors. She said I looked really pretty.
That was nice to hear. I drove straight to a school and had a job interview for a first grade teaching job. The interview seemed to go well. I haven’t heard anything about it, so I don’t know. But .. it was an eventful day. All that sounds like good news I’m sure. But to be totally honest, it was really a bit draining. I don’t especially enjoy shopping for clothes. My fashion sense is rather stunted… probably. I would have preferred someone with me for conversation or opinions. Job interviews are not my strength. I stink at them as a matter of fact. BUT, in spite of having to shop (which I dislike) and doing it alone (which is boring) and going to a job interview (that stresses me out) the day was effective. Everything got done that needed to be done. I have new clothes that are school appropriate and fit well. AND… some girl I didn’t know told me I looked pretty. YAY Plus the interview wasn’t too terrible. I love it when I can feel accomplished.
Have a happy day

ryc: spoken like a true teacher!
i wish i could have come up there on your ME day for some cooler breezes, do a facial for you and let you play with the new products, too!
one time i did a quick change in the rest room at a shoe store on my way to a mary kay presentation and got the same kind of reactions from the employees there as you did…
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You sound like you would make a mama proud. I hope you do get a good school with a good principal to teach at permanently. It would be good to count on a dependable paycheck.
All good and necessary things which can now be checked off the “to do” list!
yeah yeah yeah, that is all fine and dandy, but what did you do today?
I love to shop…I would have loved to go with you!
@Aloysius_son - laundry

It’s always good to have “me” days. I feel best when I’m being productive too. I hope you get the job. I am majoring in elementary teaching–I will become a teacher once I graduate. Best wishes.
@weirdgirl017 - HI.
I did not get that job, but it is ok. I will keep on looking and trying and just see what God has in store for me. I love teaching though. It is so wonderful. I hope you enjoy your studies and your time preparing to be a teacher one day. You will love it I hope.
Sounds like you had a blessed day!!!! I don’t like to clothes shop either. But since I can no longer drive I would love to be able to get in the car and have a day shopping with my sweet husband (that doesn’t mind taking me at all) sighing and no saying anything but you know he doesn’t like being in the ladies dept. LOL!!!
