[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 571954"] Hugs MM I had upsetting news about my own employment last week and I can relate to the way you feel. You love those kids - your poured yourself into your job -and being fired in that fashion feels like a betrayal. Please don't tie your self worth to your job. It's a huge mistake. been there done that. In fact, after the huge work debacle I experienced on 12/31, I wrote myself a note as a New Year's resolution. The end stated: [I]Determine your own worth. When someone shows you who they are, believe them. Count on yourself, you know your value; insist that others honor it, and always believe in yourself." [/I] Try not to see this as an end, see it as a beginning. You have the time and a chance to explore charting a new path. Your H sounds like a great guy, he immediately offered to pick up the extra hours, so it doesn't seem like a financial crisis is looming and you have his support! What a blessing! I think you've gotten great advice in this thread. I would consider perhaps talking to the actual Head Start childcare or school - perhaps they have openings for an aide? I would think that your experience on the bus would be a great asset. Otherwise, perhaps explore becoming of an in home childcare provider? It might be especially nice to watch someone's kids at THEIR home instead of your own...and get paid in cash? Just a thought! [/QUOTE]
