Well, a couple hours ago I got a voice mail on my cell phone from the principal at the school I was trying to get the teaching job with. He said that he was sorry but he chose someone else, that it was a hard decision and that he'd keep me in mind if anything else should be available. Now first off, I think that leaving a voice mail is just crappy! I had 3 interviews; I deserved a call in person! I am just crushed, sad, disappointed, discouraged, angry... I immediately deleted the voice mail and began to cry. Brian came up to me and hugged me for a couple minutes and told me that there is something better out there for me. I have to think like I always do... that everything happens for a reason. At least I can have peace that I just don't have to leave my little boy just yet:) I have had a back up plan in mind, which I think I may try to pursue. I would be able to set my own schedule but I would work independantly as a Developmental Therapist with a program called First Steps. I would work one-on-one with families and children from ages birth-3 years; doing developmental therapy in their home with their child one hour a week. My friend does this and loves it; she's a mom too so setting her own work hours works great for her too. So we'll see what happens...
Thank you all for your words of encouragement, prayers, advice and for just being there for me through this long, drawn out interview process!! You girls mean so much to me; and I thank God for your friendships!!
Hugs,
Noelle

Oh Honey I am SO sorry, I know you are so disappointed! I definitely think you should pursue the other option with First Steps. I think that would be a great job for you, cause it would be very hard to leave your little one!
Hi Noelle,
I'm very sorry to hear that you didn't get your job. I totally agree with you that they should have told you this by talking to you and not leaving a message. That was the wrong way to handle that and maybe you should take that as your sign.
You will get something...I know you will ! Hugs, Sue
If it's any consolation, Noelle, I think the right job is still out there waiting for you. :o)
hey sweetie ;o)
I`m sorry to read that you did not get the job .yes- crappy is a good word - or a cowards way out of letting you know by voicemail !!
You did your best for them - and you will get something that`s meant for you . Keep your chin up !
( i got laid of by telephone while on holiday - now that`a crap ! )
Thanks for the interest in my sewn applique - if you`re still interested - email me - to sort something out - and before i put in my shop this friday .
Oh Pooh! yes, there is a reason for everything. I'm glad to see you "get" this/ It is hard sometimes to really make sense of the concept, but it does make you have a inner strenght and the courage to look forward rather then crumble and give up! better will happen! Love,mom
I am so sorry that you didnt get it, but God always has a plan for you! I am sure that there is something better out there. It is great that your mom is making your flowers, if there is anyway that I can help get anything at cost for the flowers let me know!
Hello sweet Noelle,Things do happen for a reason,and just hearing you talk about your other plans...there is your reason...you sound like that is really what you want to do,and who knows how many families you can help in this way.And by the way,it was crappy of them to leave you a voice mail.That right there is reason enough to rejoice that you did not get a position there.And thank you so much for stoping by,you see...you made my day.Excuse all the dreadful spelling ,to lazy to do a spell check.XXOO Marie Antionette
There's nothing more disapointing than disapointment! So glad that Brian was understanding. That helps. Here's another hug! ♥

Oh sweetie, I am so sorry. Brian is so right Noelle, there is something even better out there for you. I know that doesnt make you feel any better. I am sending you lots of hugs. I agree, what a terrible thing to leave it on a voice mail. You deserve more respect than that. Good things are coming for you Noelle and you deserve the best :)
Love and hugs,
Amy
thanks girls! i found out today that my other "plan" of doing first steps won't work. they have changed the requirements for the developmental therapists; now you have to have a 4 year degree, instead of a 2 year to sign-on!! BUMMER! i am striking out left and right!!
noelle :(
