Waiting

I haven't shared this information with anyone but my husband yet, but I need to share, and no one reads this unless I post on Illustration Friday anyway...
I was contacted by a publishing company a few weeks ago and they said they may be interested in having me illustrate one of their upcoming children's books. They sent me the text and asked me to do a rough layout for the cover and an inside spread of the stories I was interested. I sent in sketches for three of the five they had, and now I'm waiting. They said they would get back to me after the 3rd, and they want to be in contract by the 15th, so I'm assuming I'll know by then. I'm nervous though and this waiting is a little tense. Which is why I didn't tell anyone. My family and friends of course would be interested and asking every time I talked to them, "Did you hear from them yet? Did you get it?" Which would make me very nervous. I know I could do a great job with any of those books, and I really liked the stories, but for now all I can do is patiently wait.
