September 6th, that was the last day that I worked in a "full-time" job! Yes I've been able to collect EI but the fact of the matter is that's no way to live! It barely manages to pay the bills and then there's nothing left over for anything. I have applied to dozens of teaching positions and have had a few interviews but to no avail. I am hoping to return to the government in January since the outlook in the world of teaching looks VERY bleak. Don't get me wrong, it's still my goal and dream to become a teacher but right now I need to make a living and pay off some debts because we are barely keeping our head above water right now. I simply want to work to make a living that will allow me to know that all of our monthly bills can be paid on time and eventually pay off what we owe so that more of what is made can stay with us and maybe even start a savings account.
I don't want to gripe too much because it is Christmas and it is a season to be joyful and thankful for all that we do have. On that note, I am very thankful for my family and friends. I have a wonderful, loving husband who would give me everything my heart desires if money were not an issue. He is my soul-mate and I would not trade him for the world. I have many wonderful friends for whom I am very thankful. There are 2 in particular that I am very thankful to have in my life because they make me very happy and they fill some of my time most weeks with happiness and laughter when my hubby is at work. They are both very thoughtful and know me very well. I am comfortable around both of them and it doesn't matter what we are doing I am happy to be with them. I thank the good Lord for them on a regular basis and I wish them nothing more than true happiness.
I am going to sign off for now, but expect a Christmas blog in the coming days as there is lots of time being spent alone while my hubby works in the next few days so I will have lots of time to reflect!
Take care,
Stephanee
