What a day!

I've been really stressing lately about this whole job thing. Been spending pretty much my whole time filling out applications, contacting principals, and waiting for interview calls. And today it all paid off! It figures the day I get my unemployment paperwork in the mail is the day I get TWO job offers! First this morning I got called by the principal of Pauline Central ( a k-3 school in the Auburn Washburn district). My friend Sarah teaches 2nd grade there and she gave me a heads up about an opening. I emailed the principal and told him I was interested last Friday. I had an interview with them today that went really well. This afternoon I got a call from the Auburn Washburn HR person asking me to come in for a final interview to discuss benefits and salary. I also got a call from the principal of another school I interviewed with. I had an amazing interview with them and thought I had the job, but they called me last week and said they offered it to someone else. Well it turns out that person called today and said they don't want the job. So she called and offered it to me! Now I have 2 jobs to choose between! I've worked on making a pros and cons list and talked to all of my important people to help me make the decision. I'm going to see what they say at the final interview at Auburn Washburn tomorrow before I make my decision.


I just can't believe it! I had myself convinced that I was going to have trouble finding a job and it was going to drag on forever. I was really worried that I would be going on our vacation in July still not knowing. I had no idea this was going to happen. It feels really good. But scary at the same time. I was being a total Debbie Downer earlier. I was thinking about how great it is that things are working out, but wondering what would go wrong next. It's like I'm preparing for the bottom to fall out already. It's so ridiculous. I should just be happy about what's happening and know that everything is going to be okay. Right now I'm trying to hold on to that feeling and focus on that. No worrying about what might happen. Life is good. Things are good. And that's how they're gonna stay!
