I know don't often tell sweet stories about the husband here. To be honest it's from lack of material. However, there was a thing, and it was very sweet so I figured I'd go ahead and share on the slim chance that I'm dead and my kids are looking through these pages because they aren't about to pay typepad to keep this blog alive after my demise and are just browsing through to see if I've humiliated them in writing somehow and need to talk about it with a therapist. Just kidding. I'm perfect.
So, on Monday I actually went for a little part time job interview. It's so local I could walk to work in a fix and also at a place that I would not mind getting to be a part of. The position as they advertised it was for an educational coordinator and as an ex- NYC public school teacher and everything else I have done with my life (creating that art history program for the elementary school in stepford, and getting my 2nd Master degree at age 50 in order to teach college) I went into it knowing I was probably a bit over qualified. But I didn't announce that or anything. If anything I with held information because I didn't want to jinx the interview by being too enthusiastic about it.
Anyways.... I had the interview (I thought it went very well) and then ran around doing a few errands when my phone rang and it was the husband who said "So????" I asked "So, what?" And he said "SO, did they offer you the job on the spot?" And I told him that I was the 5th of 10 people they were interviewing and they were going to decide next week because thats what they told me. And the husband, who is generally neutral no matter what, got a wee bit irritated and he could not believe that they'd meet me and then go on and interview other people. He thought for sure I'd get the offer on the spot. It was so ..... sweet. I mean, who knew he thought so highly of me? Not I. And that (sweet) is a word folks do not use about the husband. Let me tell you. Probably not since he became verbal has anyone used sweet to describe him. But his reaction was sweet, so I'm going to give it to him, and let you, my viewing public of 1, and my future orphaned children know that one day in 2019 their dad was incredibly sweet and their mom recognized it, even though she couldn't manage say so at the time because it was completely out of character and somewhat off putting.
I better get the freaking job offer.
