God is in control…
Ok so it is late and I will make this short and sweet. Today was a rough day for me at work. The summary- you try to be nice to students and parents and allow for extra activities and it is unappreciated… so now what? You stop being nice and just be mean!
Anyways, I talked to my sister and she was sweet. I know she didn’t really care because her situation is completely different but she listened and stood up for me as did all of my friends that I yacked to this afternoon, Mrs. T, my cousin and next door neighbor at work, and my smidgen and even hubby! Nevertheless she is having her own issues with her boss. I guess the boss just doesn’t like her. It is weird I don’t get why everyone loves my little sis but they do. And this lady is out to get her… so… when we talked she told me how excited she was about a new position she is applying for. She said that God has it set up. She wanted to leave her 1st job, got turned down for several positions in that organization and finally moved to this one- she hates it! She is now wanting to move to another one and it turns out her one friend at her current job has moved to this new place and God has set it up so that she is meeting all of these people in power over there. She is applying for a job and the guy that currently has it is from our hometown!!! How strange is that??? It is totally awesome because she has met her new bosses and some of her coworkers and is making sure they get that name/face recognition downpat. I told her that God was awesome.
He has plans for all of us. He planned for her to be in this new place and she wanted to move to her current job so bad that he allowed it… only to let her know that it was not for her. But he had to make her see and understand that it was not about her. Plus he had to let her get mad so she would apply elsewhere. Now he is teaching us both patience and gratefulness…. and appreciation… so… I am now praying for me and my little sister. I have no doubt she will get it though. It all comes to her… it just does! 
Ok so that is my thing… God has it under control and in all of the mess there is purpose period.
I have a feeling that my life will be drastically different in a few years (3). I will have a baby, a nice home, may or may not have a job but I am almost positive that money will not be an issue and I will be in my Tahoe leading up to my Escalade (that was for hubby). It will be. Then I will be blogging about the goodness of God some more and thinking back to what had to be gone through to get there… Be encouraged all….

I was really disturbed today to see a pic of what my baby is supposed to look like in the womb. It literally looked like limbs were growing from the head or something. It was sooo sad! I wanted to go in and spread the baby out just because I do not like being cooped up.
Work has been ok. I don’t have duty so I don’t have to fix an extra lunch. I am still working on my application packet to Mobile, AL. I am at the point now if ANYONE out there in blogger land knows anything about getting in with that district, please shoot me an e-mail! I really need a position there. My cousin contacted a friend who is going to talk with his principal but I am just praying that it all works out and that I land a great position!
Well I find out Thursday if we are buying pink or blue, so tuned. I will share it in the post for that evening or the next day depending on how I am feeling…
I have been avoiding naps but dreaming an awful lot so unfortunately my sleep has not been good. But, I have a ton of essays to grade. My Economics classes completed career essays and my Am. Govt classes wrote persuasive essays on controversial topics. I have been pleasantly surprised that a few have been excellent!
I am more agitated now than ever. After 5th period, I just want my kids to come in and sit down and do some work. But I also feel I am there to teach so that is what I will do. I am starting new classes tomorrow so the homework begins again with a fresh class calendar. It really does help to be organized and cross your t’s when teaching. So many excuses have been eliminated due to my class calendar. It just makes life easy.
Hubby is working on a CD project so as soon as it is done I will share the logistics. I am thinking if he sells the single for $3 and all my friends and maybe some readers buy it we will break even and maybe be able to make some extra money. I am excited about it. It woud be great to have the money so that he could go back to school full time and complete his CD while I worked part- time or something… oh well a girl can look forward to retirement!
Back to Work…
Yes, I have to return but at least I will be in some new clothes. I have duty at lunch- yuck! It is my #1 reason to get out of teaching! But that will not be the case after next week for a little while. Anyways I am thankful to have a job but would rather just sit in an office all day. My kids are working on essays that have to be graded by next week so I am going to be really busy and deadlines will very much be in place. I am a tough teacher, what can I say?
