It's been too long..

So it's been way too long and my poor blog has been neglected but I have had so much going on the last coupe of months. The girls have been sick and it just seems like one thing after another. I got really bad news a few weeks ago that I may be without a job at the end of this school year. I currently work as a school counselor in a middle high school. Even though I have been there for six years and have been working the field for eight years, I have the least seniority. I am so afraid of what this might mean for our family. My husband has a good job but it's not enough to support us. I have been trying to find other positions in the area but I know that it will be almost impossible to find another position in school counseling in NY. The cuts that our Gov. has made are devastating. I am worried about my family but I am also worried about my students who will not have the support that they so desperately need. I am working hard to stay positive and try to find the silver lining in all of this. I have to admit that I love the ideas of spending more time at home with my girls. I just don't know how our family will get by. I know that I am not alone and that I am just one of many people in this country who are about to get pink slips. I just hope I am one of the lucky ones that bounces back stronger than ever.
