my first blog

Well this is all new to me...I've never blogged before, but thought I might give it a try. There are always so many thoughts rolling around in my head so I might as well just jot some of those down and this seems as good a place as any! :) So after reading a really good friend's blog I decided I wanted to start this blog stuff for myself. If anyone reads it, fine, if no one does that's fine as well, I just thought this was a good way to vent for the time being.

Here goes: I thought I'd start with a little bit about my current situation in life. As of today I am an unemployed school teacher! (well actually since May 28th) That just sounds wrong! With the way the world is today I thought teaching would be a career that would always be in demand. Again, I seem to be wrong! I have an uncanny habit of being wrong! It's amazing how wrong I am sometimes!! Okay, not trying to be a Debbie Downer! Honestly!

So let's go back in time a little, I decided a few years back that I was tired of being a cosmetologist, and I really wanted to go back to college. I wanted to do something new with my life, but something that I had always wanted to do, be a TEACHER!! So fast forward to December of 2008, the 18th to be exact, I graduated from the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith with a Bachelor's of Science in Early Childhood Education!! Yay Me!! Well I thought for sure I was on the right track, and within days of graduation I was going to be an official career girl! A TEACHER!! Okay so didn't get hired with my first interview, that was okay, God has a place for me where I will be able to do the most good, blah, blah, blah! Jump to Spring 2009 and more interviews...nada! no job offer! Okay, I'll keep on, keeping on! Jump forward to November 2009, two job offers!! :0 Well once again I chose WRONG...just a couple of problems, the job was only 2 days a week and not enough money. I know teachers aren't there for the money, but in January of 2010 my husband lost his job and I had to give up the job I really loved to go back to subbing for more money. (I am leaving out one other incident but not ready to share that one).
So very sadly I had to leave a job I loved for the root of all evil: MONEY!! Jump forward just a little more April 2010 interviews with a certain school district again! I walked out of the interview feeling I'd ROCKED it! :) Felt really good about myself and the world around me!! The world was rose colored for a few minutes!
Okay time to take off my rose lenses and find out why I wasn't hearing any more about another interview or a job offer, so I made an appointment with a friend who had some insight! What she had to tell me actually blew me away! For REAL! I felt like a match had lit me afire and I was nothing but a pile of ashes!!

Okay now I am going to really vent!! Someone said something about me that actually could be considered SLANDER!! (Yes I looked up the definition so I would have the right to vent!! ) I really could sue the person, if I knew for certain who said it. Now I know that might make you wonder what was said about me, but since I am using this a point of moving on, I will not get into all of that! Just know that what was said about me was not true and was actually something very childish by someone who doesn't know me! That being said, I believe this is as good a place as any to end my very first blog!
