We had a nice day. Benjamin went to the dentisit. Then we went to an arts & craft show, and then we went to see Toystory3 and then to SteakNShake for dinner. All this with NO meltdowns.
That is terrific MissD. That is a long day and lots of changes so it is wonderful that it was all handled in stride. I found out last week that my new assignment next year may be with an autistic student. He has been at the school for two years, but I have not been in his department. I requested a transfer back to this area as it is where I first started in 1993 and my adapted student is graduating. I was surprised when I heard and nothing is official but he is a nice young man. However I feel a bit underqualified as he as been assigned ASW's and this year an SEA with lot of extra autism training. Mine has all just been on the job and none too recently. We will see how things work out. Thanks for the rep hugs too and good night to all. Jan

Good evening. We had a busy day today too. Went to church. Kittystorm and I sang, She also played her flute and did a duet with handbells with our organist/handbell director. After church we went out for breakfast. We also spent the rest of the afternoon at the horse race track. They had ponies and a petting zoo for kids. Came back to our house and turned to hose on both Benjamin and Allie. They had a lot of fun getting wet. Things are quiet now. Kittystorm and Benjamin are back at their house. I hope since Benjamin has this next week off of school that his father will spend some time playing with him.

Hello Everyone,

I hope that you are all having a great week. Just one more day and the weekend is here.

GRIN - it will make folks wonder what you've been up to. A smile is also contagious.

God was profoundly with us last night, as people from around our network of churches gathered for the ordination of two deacons to the priesthood. Both men are dear friends of ours, and it was wonderful to share this event with them.

I got a job on the phone today, after being unemployed since December. This will be very similar to what I did two years ago, when I was contract at one of the "big three" automotive companies, as a janitorial supervisor, and then site manager.

This time around, another company has that contract, and I'll be a third shift supervisor for them. I'd rather work days, but, if I'm going to be on an off shift, it needs to be third. Second--which I would have done in order to go back to work--would be the worst possible shift for family, and church. And, the plant is only 1.5 miles from our apartment!

This was obviously the Lord. I applied to this company a month or more ago, got an acknowledgement, and then heard nothing. Then today, our daughter's boyfriend, who does similar work, was talking to them on the phone, and he recommended that they talk to me too. The hiring manager said that my background sounded interesting, but, that he didn't have my resume. Somehow, it never reached him.

So, we talked on the phone, and he asked me to email a resume to him. Then, he called back, and said that, while he had intended to interview me tomorrow, he was no longer going to do so. After a pause, he said, "instead, I'm going to just offer you the job right now!"

This is the first time I've ever gotten a job I didn't even interview for!

Thank you all so much for your prayers!

Woohoo!:clap: So happy to hear that. Also, I don't know but one time my husband had to take a job that was not the day shift, but he had been unemployed for quite awhile. He only had to work the 3-11 about a month before he was offered day shift unexpectedly. So it can turn around perhaps even with that. Whatever....happy you have some good employment!:thumbsup:
