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
