[QUOTE="Jena, post: 214547, member: 4514"] hi So, i'm not going to get excited because i feel like everytime someone or something happens regarding a job for me it falls through. Macy's didn't happen difficult child's sitter cancelled, plus I was feeling horrible. Than the respite job didn't happen. There is a parent advocate position opened, my Therapist actually works there, in this office. She text me yesterday and told me the spot you wanted is now OPEN! So, i text her back and said i'm soo not going to get excited this time around! She said Jen you'd be great for the job, i'll put a good word in. So, she suggested I do a cover letter with-resume and fax directly to this woman's office. So, I did, i wrote a whole long thing, we all know how I can run on and on. I tried to watch my grammar, i did spell check and even used periods!!! LOL So, I sent it this morning. I am keeping my fingers crossed, meanwhile I'm awaiting my certification through bar for the guardian work I want to begin doing as well. I know this problem isn't the best time, with my strange health issues lately yet I love being home for difficult child, yet I miss work so so much. My days mesh into the next, I soo want to work again. Yet if i can find a job where i can be home by the time she gets out of school that would be perfect and my goal right now. So, here's hoping. My therapist and I have become friends, I know that's kinda weird. Yet we stopped sessions a mos. ago now. I felt as though she gave me the tools I needed to cope with me, my life, figuring out my old issues. It was a tough, tough year of therapy wow. Yet I told her I think I want to begin relying on me and well you guys!! LOL for my answers and solutions and learn to depend on me again the way I used to. I still have alot of growing and learning to do, hopefully i'll never stop growing. yet I needed to get in control of my life again and feel that i could do it on my own again. So, it's been a mos. i didn't call her, or text. She'll text on occassion just to say hi and see how i am yet that's it. I haven't shared or gone to her for anything. We're actually getting together for coffee on sunday she said she feels out of the "loop" now with my life LOL. I just hope some job comes through soon, and also the right job. I feel this incredible need to give back on some level. I have learned and continue to learn so very much from everyone here. It's also kept me grounded while going through all my stuff. When I think of where difficult child and i were a year ago and where we are now my head spins. :) i hope everyone's night is a good one [/QUOTE]
