Vacation Bible School

...seems to be going well for the baby. Their theme is "Under the Sea" or something like that, so she is in the "Starfish" group, or Pre-K. They color fishes, make paper-plate jellyfish, and learn all the Jesus songs. I got to see their little concert yesterday! Of course, now I've got "Down in My Heart" stuck in my head for the past 2 days. Today J. is picking her up b/c I'm stuck here at work and hopefully will have the chance to find another song that can get stuck in my head.

I had the job interview yesterday at the high-paying p/t job. I interviewed with 3 people, one of whom is someone I used to work with here at Job #1, and incidentally, helped her with a school project when she was finishing her master's degree! So, uh, I think she owes me. Anyway, I'm not sure anymore I will take the job if they offer it to me, and I discussed it with S last night. The thing is, I don't know if I'll like being away from home every Tues. and Thurs. night. That really takes a chunk out of my week and will interfere with errands, such as groceries and stuff, and possibly fun things going on too! Plus, my Job #2 right now is sooooooo easy! And even though I have to be at Job #2 on Saturdays at 8am, we don't open until 10am so essentially I'm already getting paid 2 hours for not doing anything anyway. (Plus, since I'm in charge I usually don't get there until 8:20-ish and I look the other way when other folks are late too.) And this other p/t job, while it does pay big bucks, is pretty far away which I realized when I made the drive down there yesterday. I just don't like the idea of doing all this extra driving, no matter how much it pays. When you compare the money anyway, I'm comparing current Job #2's about $7,200/yr to $12,000/yr. It's "only" an extra $5K/year, but at what expense? Now that S has a job where he has weekends off, taking care of the baby is no longer an issue for us, so I don't mind being gone all day every other Sat. from them. Bottom line, if I don't get offered this job I'll be just fine. However, if I do get offered it, how do I politely decline?

Long, nutty week this week: Job #2 tonight; teaching a skin care class tomorrow, which I will have to take the baby with me to; baby teeth cleaning tomorrow night when we get off work; then I'm teaching in Galveston like, all day on Thursday; then it's Friday and I am getting off early at 2pm so I can take a damn breather! Then Job #2 again on Sat. b/c I had to switch so I can take that 24-hour-long class on the 28th-29th at the sheriff's dept. The cool thing about Sat. though is that S and the baby are coming to the mall next door to my Job #2 so they can meet the wrestler Booker T.! That'll be so much fun for them! Then we can all have lunch together. And Sat. night is J.Fi's shower/party which we'll also go to as a family!!!
