Shred, Jobs, and Life

I just finished my 6th official day of the Shred. I am not as sore, and I am seeing results in my endurance and body for sure. I have done my workout first thing in the morning the last two days. That seems to be the best, then I shower and get ready for my day. It also reminds me to eat right! I had two hard boiled eggs for breakfast today and a large glass of ice water. (While my husband had orange danishes and Dr. Pepper, yuck!)

I have been praying for Lance & my careers a lot. Lance has interviewed for a new career that would get him OUT of the truck for good and home each and every night with us. I am very excited about the possibilities of this career and I pray that he gets offered the position. I will let you all know how it turns out as soon as we hear something. It is with a pesticide company in sales and service.

Also, I have not been told officially what I will be teaching next year, OR if I will be teaching next year at my district. Because I was in my first year with this district, I am of course, as always, on a probationary contract. Which translates to me as, "We can get rid of you with no explanation or reason." Which is pretty much what has happened for three straight years for me. I always take a position in a desperate situation (desperate on the school's part) and end up getting SCREWED at the end of the year because they only needed someone for one year...BLAH! BLAH! BLAH!

Well, this year, my principal said he couldn't recommend me again because I was "OUT" too much. Hello! Maternity LEAVE! I was off work from Dec. 2- April 6 on doctor authorized maternity leave. So, if you ask me it's pretty shitty on their part. And, what I was off work doing is far more important to me in my life than that job. Sorry.

We have some "CHANGES" going on at our school and my principal says he will let me know as soon as he knows....sounds nice, huh? (He says that will be by the second week of the summer.) Basically, they "THINK" someone is going to retire, even though they have resigned their contract for next year, then he would put me in that position. If that doesn't happen he says I can RE-APPLY for my current position, which I have been told the lady who long-term subbed for me wants, which is also PRETTY SHITTY. Excuse my language here, but it all pisses me off ROYALLY!!! I'm not quite sure WHY I am always left in these situations at the end of each year. I mean, I did a good job, yes, I was out on maternity leave, but GEEZ! And, my formal evaluation was good for the year.

I have also applied for another positions as a back up plan because I have NO IDEA what is happening at my current school. My position that they LET me go from last year is RE-OPEN here locally, and I have re-applied, probably like an idiot, but at least it is close to home and not a 30 minute commute each way.

I have packed my classroom up and moved it all back to my storage unit for now. Please PRAY that I have some sort of a job to go to in the fall! If not, we will be living like REAL poor people while I stay home with Kaden. Which wouldn't be bad, except the poor people part. I would LOVE to stay home with Kaden, and if that is the way God presents this, we will just do the best we can.

I have been so good not to BLOG about all of this, but it just gets under my skin and this is my blog. This is the CRAP that happens in my life. Life isn't always great, even when we believe and love God. We still have struggles and hard times just like everyone else. But, I am faithful that my God will carve a path for us, he always does.
