New job?

[Aquarius]

Hi Ark Mom, What wonderful news about the employment offer.  I feel there was a reason this came your way and hope you accept it.  Somehow it will work out.  And if it doesn't then you go to Plan B whatever that is.  You'll figure it out.  You are strong and capable and are making important decisions about a different life and future. 

I love the old Helen Reddy song...

I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again

Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

While this was a summer you'd probably prefer to forget, much better days await with new people, new circumstances and exciting challenges.  I sure hope it's a future without your current husband.  That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.      

Good luck and keep us posted.

I just saw this post, can't believe I missed it!!!!  CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!  God will take care of the daycare situation.  He'll send something your way.  I hope you said yes to the job! 

I am so excited for you!!!

Be sure to use an electric scooter to get around. You need your energy to teach with, not get from point "a" to point "b".

Congratulations, and take this lifeline that God is sending you.

Can you move in with your parents for a while? Or get a small apartment, just big enough for you and the kids near the school?

Do take care to set up a separate checking or credit union account for this salary -- and get your name off any joint credit cards. But first get your own personal one. I have found that quietly preparing to get out of a bad situation, getting my ducks in a row, really raised my spirits. In the meantime, I played the "cheerful idiot" with the bad guys until I made my move.

Hang in there! You are moving towards happiness, step by step, and God is pushing you along.

Im so happy for you. Getting a job is the best thing for you and the future of your girls. I hope flares stay away from you or at least dont last for long. Im not ready to go back to work just yet but really hope I can have a productive year and dont flare as much.

Hey girl.  Wondered why I hadn't heard from you for awhile.  What a lot going on!  I'm thinking about you and praying for you.  I had to get out of a scary, cold, angry marriage when my son was about 1 1/2.  With my dad's help I bought a house, took a job, my new neighbor turned out to be a perfect grandma for the little guy, and I was scared to death.  But it all worked out and got easier with time.  Just take care of yourself as best you can - be with positive people, rest when you can.  One question - do you like teaching?

Well?

I'm anxious to hear how the new job is going?

I'm sure it's a big change and will take a while to get used to the schedule and get over the nerves, but I have a GREAT deal of faith in you.

I'm keeping you in heart and praying for the best for you.

Please tell...

Last week I send her a message she is doing GREAT, her fatigue is almost gone. I'm really happy for her, she deserves a better future for her and the girls.
