Exciting News and Possibilites

I don't really like to complain on here, so I hadn't mentioned that we had been in a really bad spot.  My husband's boss had pretty much, unofficially, let my husband go.  He told him that their wasn't much work, and along with others, not to go in last week.  "That he would call". He ended up calling all the others to work by the end of the week, but my husband, who is one of the most efficient workers, was never called back.  So he and I have been looking for jobs like crazy!! It's a scary thing when you don't know....well anything really.  We didn't know if either of us would get a job in time for the rent, or really ever? I know that sounds crazy, but it's tough.  I have actually been looking for work for quite some time.  I really enjoy being at home and doing everything I do, but when it comes down to it, we really could use the extra money.  Since we did have my husband's income, I wasn't pressured into finding any ridiculous thing, and have been waiting for the right opportunity.  But the pressure was on these last couple of weeks!  

So I am ecstatic to say that my husband found a job!  It is actually the first job that he applied to.  Which he never would have done, if he wouldn't of had the time off to find a job.  It is a much better company, with a much better owner; total 360 degrees.  He is really happy because this is actually one of the two companies that he really wanted to get into.  He knows that it is a stable, most likely, long term job. 

While he had been getting the news and completing some steps to be official, I had been at the PTA meeting at school.  One of the places I always look for work is at my daughter's school.  Who wouldn't want to work at their child's school, am I right? Especially with so many maniacs in the world, it's just comforting to know that you are their with them.  So the principal was giving us a rundown of what was going on.  And guess what?!? Their is a full time position available, but since the district had only approved 15 hours, that's all it said on the website.  The principal confirmed with us that they were pulling funds from different programs, and that it would nearly be a full time.  When I asked her about the position, she urged me to go in  TODAY to get my application in.  Now I know I have no guarantees, but this still excites me!  As one of the ladies who works at school said, sometimes it really is being in the right place, right time, and knowing the right people.  Although I have never met or spoken with the principal, I am willing to bet that she will get quite a good impression from me.  All she has to do is poke around, and realize that I practically live at school.  Many have joked that I need to just bring a mattress with me, and settle in.  The entire PTA knows me well and everything that I do, the employee who does the newsletter can vouch for me getting the newsletter back to her within 6 hours, fully translated, and my daughter's teacher can most certainly tell her about me participating in Jr. Achievement, field trips, and class parties.  I hope this is one of those moments when the stars align, and things just happen.  But if it doesn't, I'll know that it just wasn't for me, and that something better is waiting for me.  I just have to find my way to it.

Excited about the possibilities,
