Stressed.
Worried.
Anxious.
These words describe a lot of the ways I feel lately.
I am stressed about life with CANNOT-BE-SOON-ENOUGH Mr. Ex and the fact that our divorce has taken an extremely ugly turn and will likely not be settled out of court.
I am worried about the job market. I have gone back and forth for some time trying to decide if I would stay here next year (as in 2010-2011 school year) or not. I love my job ~ my school is fabulous and my coworkers are amazing, but the truth is my job is really all that is keeping me here and it’s no big secret that I didn’t really want to move here in the first place, having only done so for CANNOT-BE-SOON-ENOUGH Mr. Ex and his career. I want to be closer to my family. I would like to move back to the town where we previously lived - the town where I went to college; the town where both of my brothers (and New Guy) live. But teaching jobs are hard to come by right now (even in the metro area) and I am actually having some regret about getting my masters – as a teacher a masters degree, coupled with seven years of experience, actually hurts you when looking for a new job.
I am anxious about our house being on the market. I want it to sell… but not before the school year is over because if I do plan on moving and the house sells quickly, where am I going to live for a month (or two)? In that same breath, even it comes June and the house hasn’t sold yet and I plan to move away, I am still going to have to pay my half of the mortgage – plus rent at a new place.

ReplyDeleteGod is with you and he will help you on this journey; give it to him and he will take care of it and you!
ReplyDeleteSeems that things usually have a way of working themselves out.
ReplyDeleteSo, stay positive.
Mr. Soon-to-realize -how -dumb -he- was...oh, I mean Soon-to-be-Ex will be sorry if he takes it to court... so, don't let him buffalo you!
When you get interviews principals will see that you have a lot to give... your charm and love for kids will sell itself. You may have to settle for less than you want to make but, just get IN.
The house is great, the right people will show up and love it! If not... it's better to pay for a house that's empty rather than a house that's full of memories of the days behind you.
Stay positive, stay happy!
Keep climbing!
I think you're "Unstoppable" as Rascal Flatts would say!
Love you!
