I know it's been a while since I've posted anything here. I've been very busy and exhausted from working at my externship. I finally finished it all up last Tuesday. On Wednesday I was sent to interview at the corporate office (the interview consisted of an exchange of about 5 sentences not really related to work or work history), was told I was hired on as part time. Then the next day I went in to work and the office manager read an email from the person who hired me informing her I didn't get the job because they couldn't justify hiring me since they already had 4 assistants in back and 2 front desk people. The office manager wasn't very happy about that and told me to stay that day any way...I did, and I made soooo many mistakes!! OMG!! I couldn't do anything right to save my life that day or Friday. Then Friday as I was leaving I asked her if she wanted me to come in on Monday and she said NO because the schedule will be slow (which is was). She took my phone number and said she will call me on Monday to tell me wether or not they would need me on Tuesday. She never called so I called her yesterday and she informed me that I infact didn't get the job afterall. She blamed it all on the man who interviewed me (if you can call it that) saying I must have said something he didn't like because he always hires people she sends him.I'm a little sad about it but at the same time a bit relieved. I liked working there and I liked everyone I worked with but there were some very rough days for me. It's hard to teach an old dog like me new tricks and I often frustrated a certain employee when I made silly mistakes. I'm not really sure where I'm going to go from here? I actually didn't get a whole lot of on the job training as an actual assistant at my externship. My nerves ALWAYS got the best of me so they just stopped asking me to assist. It's almost impossible to find a job as a dental assistant with the little experience I have. I'm almost beginning to think maybe I wasted a lot of time and money on school. But then I think I didn't because I proved to myself that I really could do well if I tried hard enough. I have my exit interview with my school later today and they're suppose to keep helping me find a job. I'm just going to go with the flow. What ever happens is what's suppose to happen. If the first job I find is as a Dental Assistant then I will take it as a sign that that's what I'm suppose to do. If it's a job doing something else I guess I just wasn't meant to be a Dental Assistant. Jobs here in Vegas are few and far between so I will take the first one that comes my way no matter what it is.
Ok! Enough of my pity party!! On to other news! My birthday came and went! I turned the big 3-9!! It was a GREAT one this year. Dwayne's mom Lynn and youngest sister Lori came to town. On my birthday we sat around with my dear friend Sandi and drank too much wine and had some serious girl talks! I loved it. The next night we all (including Dwayne's Uncle Scott and his new Lady as well as Sandi's husband Eddie) went out to a WONDERFUL dinner at Roy's Hawaiian Steak House. I opened up the menu and there on the left side was a note saying "Happy Birthday Kelli" and the date. Then my desert had the same thing written in chocolate!! Then they took a great group photo of us and made 4 copies and put them in some cardboard frames. Talk about great service!! I highly recommend that place if you ever have something special to celebrate.
Lynn and Dwayne also took the boys to Disneyland while she was here. I was a bit jealous at first but I have to admit it was very nice to have this big house all to myself! It was so peaceful! The boys had a fabulous time at Disneyland. Zach got to "drive" a few cars and Calvin got to go on some scary rides with Dwayne. They were at Disneyland for 12 hours!!! The next day they stopped by the Queen Mary on Long Beach since Calvin's latest obsession is the Titanic.
On April Fool's Day Dwayne and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary! I can't believe I've been putting up with his ass for that long!!! Just kidding, it's really the other way around. I know you all know what a crazy Drama Queen I can be at times, God love the poor guy for putting up with me! He's no saint mind you but he's pretty damn close!
After Lynn left town a new semi-permanent person came to stay with us. Yep, I followed Sandi's lead and opened our house up to a forgien exchange student. Her name is Mara, she's 16 years old and she's from Germany. She's been here the whole school year but her original host family and her just weren't a very good fit for each other. So Sandi asked me if I'd be interested in letting her stay with us until the school year was over. She's been with us for a week now and she really is no trouble at all. She's a sweet girl and the boys really like her....especially Zach. Yesterday while we were in Target he hugged her leg and said "I love you Mara" and we both melted. She's great with the boys, always setting a good example by eating all her vegetables....since she's a vegetarian!
Once again we spent Easter with the Fabulous Ferencys! One of these days we'll spend it at our house, there just aren't a lot of spots to hide eggs in a yard full of rocks!! The Easter Bunny was pretty good to the boys this year, he didn't give them as much candy though because he knew I'd been doing time in a dentist's office and had seen MANY little people's mouths that were full of decay!
And speaking of decay....I had my FIRST ever cavity!! Uhg! I was so bummed about it!! I was such a sissy too! I gave birth to 2 babies with NO DRUGS but there I was afraid of that little needle and drill! I'm happy to announce I survived but it didn't feel very good. It felt like someone was poking my tooth with a hot rod. Let's just say I will make sure I never have to get another filling again!!
Well, I guess that's it for now! I believe I have you all caught up. I will probably be updating this more often since I will have more time on my hands now that I'm not busy with externship/work. My graduation ceremony is on May 8th, I was greatly looking forward to this day but now that I have no job it's kind of become another day for me. I am really looking forward to seeing my Mom and Dad and Jess and Gilbert though!! I'll keep you all posted on any job possibilities or prospects between now and then. Wish me luck!! Love you all!!
