I owe, I owe, so off to work I go

So I haven't posted in awhile... bad me!  In my defense, I have had a ton of stuff going on in my life.  I decided to go back to school to finish my business degree.  I knew I was close to finishing but didn't realize that I only have 11 classes left to take - wahoo!!!  So, no big deal, right???  Right - well, that is until my friend Mindi comes to me with an opportunity to go back to work.  She tells me about this great part-time-ish job at Boppy.  For any of you that don't know the name (shame on you), it is a small company based out of Golden, CO.  They make fabulous mom and baby support items (breastfeeding pillows, full body pillows, etc).  Check them out http://www.boppy.com/

So, anyway, I interview on a Friday afternoon.  The job seems like something I can totally handle.  The hours are fantastic 9-3:30.  I am so excited.  I think the interview went really well.  My future potential manager is very impressed with my resume.  So, then I wait...

I get a call the next Thursday that I am being offered the job along with the opportunity to move into the office manager role in about 30 days or so.  Yay!!!  Wait!!! What???  Does that mean that I am going back to work full time?  Holy crap... what did I get myself into?  Oh shit, what about school?  How am I going to have time for all that?  Oh yeah, now I have to find a sitter in less than a week and my mother-in-law is coming into town, then my parents.  Drowning, drowning....  Ok, breathe, I can do this.  Hahahaha!

So last week was my first couple days of work.  I am already going full steam ahead.  I can see why they need the help and fast.  Everyone here is super busy, but they love it (from what I can tell in 5 days).  I spent the entire weekend working on my paper for class.  I got 60/60, thank you very much.  I am so proud only because I thought that I had botched it royally.  Isn't that the way it always is?  When you think you have written the next War and Peace, you get a crappy grade.  When you throw a whole bunch of BS together, you get an A.  Oh well, I am NOT complaining. 

So, if you are wondering why I haven't posted, checked my email or been on facebook recently - now you know.  I will be around...
