I am so happy and a bit sad at the time being. 1st I found the most wonderful little puppy that looks like a miniature pincher with a tail. I grew extremely attached to him and I could not keep him due to Damon, so I did the next best thing...I gave it to my oldest and dearest friend of 14 years, Emily. She loves him to death and so does her boyfriend James. They will take care of him great but I will miss him so much. Last night just thinking of him leaving the next day I was hysterical and could not spend any time away from him. This morning I was doing better and then when Emily arrived I was holding back the tears. We played with him and I wanted him to immediately bond with her but he had grown so attached to me. I was upset the most because I feared that he would not ever be as comfortable with her that he is with me. She was getting in her car with all of the stuff I gave her for him, Ty's old cage on loan, a bunny toy, a bag of chewies, a bag of food, a food/water bowl with his name on it...Mandy she named him Murphy...how perfect!! A collar with rhine stones and a rhine stoned leash and all of Ty's old bedding. I handed her my boy and he looked scared and confused and looked at me with these questioning eyes and it broke my heart in little pieces, I had to go into the house immediately. I didn't stop crying for like 2 hours. I called her a couple times and he is doing great, he started to shake half way home which upset me to hear about and then after eating in is new home, he threw up, also killed me. She says he is playing and is very happy so I can sleep on that. I am sure the 3 of them will be very happy together.
The happiness in my life is due to my very first chance to be a teacher. I went to a school called Toddler Tech Academy on Friday for a unscheduled meeting with the director and after an hour or so of touring the school and discussing a bunch of things the Director came in and said You are so wonderful and your appearance and demeanor and your willingness to take on any challenge and so on and so forth we just love you and then she paused...I said please don't say "but" she said my "but" is that I can't give you a job as an after school counselor, I have to give you Teacher position. I was so happy I almost cried, I then said please just say the words "you are hired" She did and we talked about what I would teach. I will be teaching 3 year olds (toddler class). I will spend a couple of weeks floating between two classes to get a hang of it all and learn all that I can. I am going to help them with everything before they even ask. I had to go get a physical and finger prints so I did it that day, asap. I start on Monday at 9:30am and I'll work till 6:30, that's going to be my normal hours Mon-Fri. They pay is shit, but the job is a dream and will help me so much now and later on in life. There is free life insurance worth $10,000 no benefits past that. The big plus and what makes the crap pay all worth it is, they are paying %100 for me to go back to school and get my bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education. Then I will take my experience and degree to Tauber and plead to work there with my mother-in-law. I am so excited. I am going to get my teacher clothes tomorrow...khaki capri's and a few plain colored t-shirts. I have to go now, I am so tired, too much crying in a short time. I love you my two readers Mandy & Emily.
