It’s the weekend again…yea! Jay is already home. Jacob will be coming home tomorrow. Jacob will be celebrating his 22nd birthday on Monday…that is so hard for me to believe.
It’s nice to have a long weekend to look forward to.
This week was somewhat better. I think I did fine until yesterday…but it has been very hard to leave Mitchell every day and then when I come back the next morning, things are all different and I don’t know what’s going on because I wasn’t there all afternoon.
On the positive side, we had 103 5th graders come for 5th grade choir on Wednesday and around 18 boys showed up for Boy’s Choir. Those are really good numbers. I’m sure we will have more boys than that before it is all said and done.
The little 1st graders at JC are warming up to me. I’m really not liking being on the stage. There really isn’t enough room and I don’t really have any place to go to do planning, etc.
Beginning Tuesday, I will have my full load there…the pre-kindergarten and kindergarten will begin music next week. Plus, Connie and I will be holding auditions for the Honor Choir every afternoon next week, so after I finish up with JC, I’ll be heading back to Mitchell.
On a sad note, I got my first pay stub from CISD today….rather than go into too much detail, let’s just say I am now making $1000 less per paycheck than I was last year. My paycheck from JC was pretty decent considering the hours I am there, but when you total the two up, I’m still making about $800 less a month than what I did last year. That was pretty depressing for me.
But…like I said, I am going to try to stay positive about it all. I’m praying a very special prayer of protection around my family, because right now if something happened to anyone, I would be a nut case. I am praying that God will give me back my full time job at Mitchell with Connie still being there. And I’m praying that God will show David where he wants him to be job-wise. I am praying that God will give David a job that he is excited to go to every day and that he will make at least what he made at his former place of employment and that he will have really great benefits. No, I don’t believe I am asking too much…Chuztpah…

Hi Cyndie,
Glad to know that Jay has a long weekend so he cab vusut with you. Say Hi to him for me. Can’t believe the little kid I played video games with during my visit with you a few years back is all grown up and off to college.
Will certainly keep you and David in my prayers for employment. I’m convinced that God will answer prayers for both of you…but I have certainly had to learn the hard way that God has has own time table – which just isn’t mine. I’ve certainly learned that He does supply our needs — but not necessarily our wants.
Do keep me posted…as well as others here.
Love, Prayers and Hugs,
Pat
