Today I had a lunch meeting with a friend, Flannel, who offered me a freelance writing gig!  I can't tell you how excited I am.  It's been tough since having kids to try and work, because the truth is (and though I never imagined I'd be doing it) I love staying home with my girls. 

Yes, most of my day is spent cleaning up after them, chauffering from school to classes, cooking dinner, folding laundry and diffusing tantrums.  But the thought of NOT being with them makes me sad, so I sort of let go of my dreams.
 
When Flannel told me that I could write AND stay at home, I burst out laughing.  No I'm kidding, but I was thrilled.  I'm writing a script for an animated series, which hopefully (if I do a great job) will turn into writing more scripts for animated shows. 

I decided to wear something casual to lunch (so I didn't look like I was trying to hard...though I totally was).  I wore Fierce's bell bottom jeans and a plaid shirt.  To give me a little confidence boost, I wore my sky high heels (thanks, Fierce, Fedora and Fancy for the early birthday present!) and put glitter on my nails to add some sparkle.

Anyway, nothing gives me more confidence than being offered an awesome job that gives me almost everything I could ask for!  And the best part?  Princess Sparkles and Pigtails can watch the show and might even think I'm the coolest mom ever!
