School...morning class, same ole same ole.
10:30 am-Principal calls me to her office to tell me I've been surplused (let go) because of budget cuts. (Too many teachers, not enough students...I was the last teacher hired, so I must leave my classroom and will no longer be teaching my students)
Oh my goodness! I was totally in shock! Part of me totally excited and releaved, and part of me kinda sad to leave some of the kids...kinda.
The principal offered me a different position...I am going to be the gifted education teacher for 3 different schools, pulling out small groups of gifted students working on enrichment projects and gifted curriculum!!! Oh my! I am SOOO excited!
My grandma left yesterday and I was so content seeing her go. Thursday night (my 23rd birthday) was rough. I was just so depressed and sad knowing Grandma was leaving Saturday. We laid in bed, and I just cried and cried. But, after Friday's news, I was okay with her leaving. Thank you Lord.
I start Monday morning with my new job, and I am just elated. I think the job is going to be a lot of work, but I am excited to use my creativity and inventiveness! I will be starting a gifted program in 3 schools!!!
My grandma and two wonderful aunts worked in gifted education, so I am already surrounded by great resources.
I feel rejuvenated. I feel replenished. I do not feel nauseous in the mornings. Whew. It's like I can breathe again and smile again!
So, the best birthday present ever...getting fired! : )
Lyrics I'm Humming:
Celebrate Good Times! Come On!
Celebrate Good Times! Come On!

wow...I am extremely thankful you got fired. You're right...what an amazing birthday gift. You just never know what the future holds, even if you have a guess, it could all change in a few seconds...it's weird how that all works...you can love or hate the change, but this one we all love. Hope your second first day was good!

Wow. God is amazing.
