[I thought that picture was funny. Kinda reminded me of Mr. Tumnus off of the Chronicles of Narnia.]
Well, I didn't get the job. Or the now 121 others that I have applied for.
I'm not really sure what to do or how to feel.
And to add to the disappointment of not being able to provide for my little family, I found the job that I got laid off from posted on the vacancy announcements page on the school district's website.
I've basically given up all hope of finding a teaching job, because even the most promising situations have fallen through, and I'm left feeling more and more hopeless each time. So here's to hoping that I'll either: (a) find a job in another field; or (b) get a lot of sub opportunities.
Please pray for us. We're really getting close to running out of money.
In other news, Ben and I had our first flea market experience on Saturday, and it was interesting. Prior to the sale, we asked our family if anyone had anything that they wanted to get rid of, and we ended up with enough stuff to fill our entire living room. We ended up making close to $200! We've learned that it's hard to sell things that are over $10 if they are used, and just about anything will sell. We also learned that cellphones, cameras, watches, and knives sell quickly. So, we've been searching ebay and the local Goodwill stores for those things...this may become a weekend hobby. I even invested in the most evil invention ever...SILLY BANDZ. Considering every kid that I saw had a wrist full of them, I think they will sell. I just feel bad for their teachers.
We also found a cute little camera at Goodwill for $10. It's a Honeywell Pentax ESII, and it came with a flash. I looked it up online, and these seem to go from anywhere between $150-$200. We've been having fun snapping silly pictures of each other. He's so wonderful. He always knows how to cheer me up. :]
Well, that's all for now. Ben and I are off to meet with someone who bought our hedge trimmer off of craigslist.
Anyone need a flute?

I loved reading this blog after today, knowing that by now you had gotten a job. I love how God made you wait patiently and that through your faith and diligence in never giving up but continuing to look for creative ways to make money, He totally came through and blessed you at the last possible second. That is so cool to me, and it's an awesome faith-builder for you.
ReplyDeleteI love your cute little blog, and I love you guys.
