So my only two readers (and I say this with great sadness) have been inquiring about my interview. Well here goes the answer: NO!!! The boss-man did call me and tell me that although I had scored the best on the interview (they use a stupid structured interview process at the world class company I work for) and that is was extremely impressed with the projects I have managed and my communication abilities there was a person who had a tad bit more experience who already worked for the program. This translates into: We only interviewed to make it look good with HR eventhough we already had someone in mind in the first place. I hate when people waste my time like that.
Anyway, I'm re-evaluating at this point. I have been thinking of going to grad-school for quite sometime, but I just don't know if I have the drive or time to do something so drastic. I will be honest and tell you that I feel extremely DUMB!!! I don't feel that I am being challenged at work or in my personal life. I can only read so many intelligent, witty books in a month and I am at my limit. This will sound sooo ridiculous to those who don't have children, but I feel incredibly guilty doing something like that for myself and not reserving the time I devote to that on my children. Just my thoughts; however, misplaced they maybe.
I have mentioned in the past that I work for finance atty's and have made one decision lately. I do really like the group of guys I work with. I get lots of perks and most of the time have an easy work schedule. We have been extremely busy lastely, but there are always ebbs and flows to all businesses. Anyway, I have made the decision to get my para-legal certificate. It will open a few more doors for me in the future. Eventhough, I will probably never work as a para-legal it would be good to have in my line of work.
I am sending off my application tomorrow and hopefully will know something soon. You have to have a bachelor's degree for this program and I think it will be intense, but short. One year online.
Gotta go... Tim's calling

I am glad you are staying here. Sad that you didn’t get the position that you really want but selfishly … really happy you are here.
Yours truly,
Narcissist
Awww...shucks!
Oh well, sounds like you have a plan!
Don't feel selfish. I think it is important to do whatever it takes to keep yourself truly happy...and that means in your professional life as well as your personal life. Your happiness effects your children. So, really, it can't be selfish. Grad school will be waiting for when and if you decide to pursue that route, but don't feel like it's selfish!
Later, HO
That sucks about the job, but things happen for a reason.
Grad school isn't selfish. Just think one day, your children will leave the nest and if you aren't happy with your life, then what? I am sure that all moms feel bad about doing something for themselves, but you need to be happy too. Just remember if Mama isn't happy, then no one is happy ;)
