Big Sigh! I had an interview this morning with some of the big wigs at Capilano University - not the blood-less ones - but the ones whose hands my fate lies in. Well, not exactly. They can just decide whether I get a certain instructional position in the fall...in addition to my current position.
I prepared well, bought new clothes (mostly because none of my work pants fit me....yet), and gave it a good shot. Paul took on the night time parenting so I could have a goodnight sleep. I feel pretty good about how it went and had a little fun with the teaching segment. I'm just glad it's over!
I'm eager to devote more of my time to parenting than I have in the past week and I'm glad I'm not working the load I had thought I would be at the time. Already things feel super busy and our time has really been divided lately. I think Anneka is suffering a bit because of it. She doesn't seem to be sleeping enough and I'm sure it's the reason. She doesn't complain about it, but we can see it in her behaviour and her current sleep problem. Every night it comes to a complete meltdown before Anneka falls asleep and by then it is usually after nine. She isn't napping and isn't sleeping in and I'm sure it is catching up to her. Also she's gotten up in the night some nights.
She says she doesn't want to sleep and does not like bed time. It may just come to us tightening up the routine around bedtime and ignoring her many demands. Maybe we'll have to let those tears of frustration come earlier. In conjunction, I'd like to be putting in more quality time with her so she feels secure in her world. I don't think I've lost the connection with her, but my parenting has slipped.
The BIG INTERVIEW is over Anneka, I am yours!
