I'm not sure if you guys remember. but I am a certified teacher. I haven't taught school in several years (I quit when I had my daughter). My license expired a year ago & I didn't do anything about it. I asked the principal at my daughter's school if she could tell me how to renew my license & as she was getting me the number to the AR Board of Education, she asked me if I was going to go back to teaching. I said yes. She said that there is going to be a 3rd grade position open next year & that she has tried to get me to teach there since I graduated college. (She used to ask all the time after I quit teaching). She went on to say that she would love to have me & she would help do whatever I needed to get my license renewed. (Prob just have to do some inservice hours) She got me an application to fill out & said to get it back in as soon as possible. She acted pretty excited.
I didn't ask her for a job, just help with my license so I don't think she would have gone into all of that if she wasn't serious about hiring me. This would be so great for many reasons, but one very great reason is I won't have to be dependent on anyone but me. I'm actually very excited about this & I will be at my daughter's school. Yeah!! My daughter is excited....she never knew me when I taught school & she thinks it's neat. It feels good that my kid's see me like I am now & not how I was when using.....laying in bed all the time, etc.
Anyway....I share so much bad stuff here I just had to share something positive with you guys!!
Oh, Gina...... I was actually inspired by you. Seeing you finish classes & starting your new job made me decide to go back to teaching!
Rhonda, this is awesome news!
I know you will feel so much better when you can be financially independent and not have to rely on another income.
I almost wish I could go back to work myself. I stopped by Monroe city court where I had worked for 6 months and found out they had a part time position, but after all they crap I went through it's not a place I want to go back to. I was in such pain after a month that I wanted to leave, but my husband kept telling me to stay, so I did. I would come home and the first thing I did was ice my neck and back. The stress was unreal..and I'm sure you've seen on the news how Monroe city has been under investigation several times. I finally quit and the pain went back to it's prior fibro flare level.
But anyway, good for you honey!

Rhonda, This is great news!!
Oh Rhonda, this is so cool!
It seems like such a short time since you were struggling and now look at you!
I told my oldest son about you the other day. He's the avid deer hunter in my family. He was out at my place hunting this morning. He said you sound like his idea of the perfect woman. He also said to tell you if you ever come this way he'll take you to his favortie places.
Anyway, I think you're just awesome and you are going to thrive!
WTG, Rhonda!!
xxxxoooo

Rhonda, You go girl. I know for me getting back into the work force played a hugh part in my recovery. Best of luck to you. Shantel
Rhonda,
That's wonderful news! It's funny how taking one step out leads to all sorts of new opportunities. I'm so glad this job has opened up for you.
You're way ahead of me. I only took one class and assuming I get into the MSW program, it's two years before I graduate and then a gazillion supervised hours before I get my license.
You go, girl.
Love,
Gina

Thanks for eveybody's support! I feel good about it. I will bo so glad to be able to stand on my own two feet. I've felt like someone's doormat for way too long. I've got plans for a better life!
Kat, I forgot where you live? I might just have to come visit you & go hunting!
Janet......how long have you had that much pain? Is that how you got hooked on pills or did the pain come after?
I bet the Monroe Mall is a b**** to get around in. A firend of mine asked me to go there with her yesterday to get santa pics made for her lil girl.......I said NO WAY!! Going in Wal Mart is bad enough!!
I love you guys!

I am so excited for you! Recovery is an amazing journey. Good for you honey. I hope and pray that you are somehow able to sort out all your family issues. This will at least help you gain some independence. That is a great feeling.
Happy Holidays!
Keep smiling!
