It seems that the few minutes that I have to myself, never really are to myself. I think back at times in the past when I never thought I would get through and I just laugh at all that my life requires now. I am grateful for my job. I sat through a meeting yesterday in which 126 lay offs were announced. I am the last hire in my office so you can imagine my anxiety. I am still employed and am not really sure how it happened. There are more experienced workers out of jobs all across the state. I thank my Father in Heaven for sparing me this time. One of my supervisors commented today that I really dodged a bullet yesterday and not even the supervisors know how I ended up holding on. See, I am still on my probation period and it would be easy to let me go. Though I had prepared myself for the worst, it was bitter- sweet to not lose my job. I had pictured being home with my kids and that looked pretty good. Then the reality of that situation sets in and I realize that losing my income would not make my life any less stressful and for that reason, I am so very grateful for my ability to work. Thank you to the people that fought for me and kept me employed. It means everything to me right now.
I am also happy to report that I have moved into the arena of t-ball and soccer coach. I can handle the t-ball, but soccer? Really? I don't know a thing about soccer, but the coach blew out his knee and I am the replacement. Pray for the 6 year olds looking to me for direction. I better get researching, first practice is tomorrow. Wish me luck--
