All Good Things Come to a End

Well today started off normal up and off to work.. I was even thinking as I was getting lower level ready for daycare well it is a new month and hopefully Tim (Rachels' husband) will hear from the company that he interviewed with and he will be offered a job... it has been really difficult for them and getting harder with him without a job since January.. so I have been praying that he finds something. Anyway, within a few minutes Rae came down to fill me in on the day and then had to share some bad news ... she has to let me go... I really became numb.. I know it was hard for her to tell me because it is not a normal working relationship.. I really understand and would have made the same decision but hearing it is still hard.. I have really been blessed to work with her. We have become very close along with her cousin Heather.. I am going to miss that the most... of course I will see them but it wont be the same.. I am going to miss seeing the little ones grow and develop into different stages.. Also, it was hard to share this news with Duane because my main purpose is to work to put money into college fund for Nick... he was not as upset as I thought and said well, you always seem to fall into something pretty fast.. which I said yea I already have a lead ... now this lead is a bit scary but I think it may be something that I can do... I am waiting for a phone call and when I know more I will share... but until then I am off and running to find something that will fit for me..
Now when Nick came home I told him and he was like wow mom what the hell? I explained Tim and Rae's situation and then made it a learning situation.. I said you know the economy is bad and when it affects one person it slowly trickles down and affects others... that is what happend here... times are bad and people are struggling. He has to know and does know that I work to help both kids with college and that I am limited to what I can do. I want them to know that both Duane and I work so that they can have more than we did.. I do believe they understand but it doesnt hurt to put it on the table every once in awhile... so my journey has taken a veer toward uncertaintiy and I will work thru but damn I hate when my bubble gets popped.. Till next time...
