The Boot!

Well, today it happened....I got the boot. Officially my position was eliminated and they said it wasn't personal, but its hard to feel that way given what has been going on. Even though I expected it, its still a kick in the gut. I really appreciate everyone's offers of help...and there's really nothing to talk about, so please understand if I don't want to dwell on it. What is most helpful right now is to let me know if there are any good employment situations that might be a good fit for me. Otherwise, please help me focus on the positive.

I usually am pretty good at looking at the bright side of things...although its kind of hard with this one...I am sure there is some job opportunity out there for me that is good....there's probably a reason I got this (strong!) nudge....I hope someday to know what that reason is. And I think the school is going to help me send Rachel Claire there for which I am grateful. The other good part is that I have until the end of June to find something else as my contract lasts until then...so I'm not in a total panic, just partial. I have enjoyed my time at St. Richard's and hope it continues to remain a strong educational institution....although sometimes I'm feeling bitter right now, I want to try not to burn any bridges.

Thank you so much to my family and friends for your emotional support - I could not get through this without you. Please know that I'll probably be up and down over the next few months. My insecurity, always prevalent, is pretty high right now, so any encouragement is appreciated.

Thanks for listening, its easier to share this way then telling people about it. Stay tuned for photos later this weekend.
