Working Outside The Home After Being A Stay AT Home Mom

I went on my first job interview in over 25 years........ Holy Cow!
I wasn't nervous at all because I would be perfect for this job, I just needed to convince them of it : )
I got there exactly on time, wearing jeans, a nice top & sneakers (I would be cleaning an office & taking care of rescue cats needs - So I felt wearing the correct clothes to do that job would be best).
I am very outgoing by nature so I never have problems talking to ANYONE about any subject but one of the subjects I love is animals so I hope the gal picked up on that.
She handed me the paper work I needed to fill out and I looked at it and thought to myself this might be a problem. Since I do not have any resume she wanted me to list the last time I worked outside of the home...... I told her my son is 25 years old so say about 1986. She stopped in her tracks and just stared at me. I felt my heart dropping that this might really be a big problem for her. She said to just list a couple of non family members who could be my references which I picked my neighbor down the street who I watched her cat & bird for over a month when she went on vacation and a gal who I took care of her horses when she went away.
The gal went over all of the duties I would need to do and asked me to lift one of those heavy 5 gallon water jugs (which I was able to do - thank goodness).
She then told me that a background check & drug test are required, I told her no problem there on either one. She gave me the forms to take for the drug test (which I am hoping is a good sign, at least she didn't just x me off).
I left feeling very unsure if I will get the job but I am praying I do!
I should know if a couple of days or so......
Keep your fingers crossed for me & of course any prayers you can send my way will be helpful : )

Until Next Time - God Bless!!
