My husband has been called to and accepted into a 2nd grade teaching position, however, it's 6 hours from Charlotte. We will still be in North Carolina, but not sure which city/county we will call home at this time.
My husband opened his job search after many painful months of rejection from Gaston County Schools and some surrounding areas. I beleive in things happening for a reason and we agreed to open his job search to a wider area in NC And boy, did the areas calls, in Droves....NC needs Teachers, just not in the Charlotte and Gaston Co Areas... The winner was quick, whitty and has offered to take our daugther into their first grade class, so they can attend school together. I am quitting my job at the big time bank effective tomorrow. Our year 2007 has been filled with much health issues on my part so this brings great joy for us, along with tough decisions.

This move is bringing about some new feelings I haven't had nor had to deal with. The biggest is the shift in our families roles. I can be a mom for a little while after 6 years. I'm quitting my job after 8 years. Tomorrow Is Q day. :eyerub::crazy::faint::crazy::faint::faint:. i have disliked this place I work in for a long time, so I am not said to say good bye. I beleive everything happens for a reason and this is happening for a reason. I am scared, but I try to hide my emotions and not let them show. The truth is there isn't any amount of prescription medications that were going to make me happy. It was time for us to shake things up. I was not finding enough happiness with a new purse, haircut or shoes, this is something that was bigger and I couldn't eat my way to it. I just could figure it out.
I have told my husband for months, I am not happy and i cannot fix it.
I cannot buy my way out of it and I cannot fix it. It's bad on so many levels.


Now, I can come clean and be honest. Once I quit, the bigger of the complex puzzle will be dissolved. I will still have issues, however, I will not have this one. Come August 3rd, I will pack up the hater's and put them in the I don't care bin. I will no longer sit at a desk and ponder why I cannot erase myself with white out and listen to my ipod. I will simply not exist anymore to just 'get through the day'. I will begin to live through the day and look forward to the evening. This is what we are living for.

For this, I am thankful. So, this is for living for the day. I have alot to figure out, but with the weight of the weight begin gone. I will begin to heal. I know that there are good people in the world, including all of you.
So, I expect to see some faces on the beaches even if it's just for lunch.
I already have plans with Kim - I am only a long drive away. I will come back to Charlotte and maybe can make lunch from time to time. I have a great ephiany and it has 2nd grade calling out for MR T.

We will be a stronger and more productive family for this. I wish I could stop writing. I am forever greatful. Beachcombergal has been a great friend to me too in this journey. I am still in state, just about 6 hours from the Queen City. I don't officially leave for about 3 more weeks. :neener::neener:

Peace ---- JT :ohwell::nod::):):):spit::clapsmiley::clapsmiley:: thumb:

Kim - I'd love to meet up and eat before I go.

Maybe we could plan something.

Gosh, who knew there'd be so much to do.

Our move got pushed up a week. We have to go back on the 6th to sign our lease. DH starts his job a week later.

I have alot of emotions right now. I don't feel comfortable posting much more. I will let my real life friends know where i'm moving but it's really a small area and i'm not comfortable posting the city etc. We are leaving the big city and soon though. I will not miss the traffic.- We will not be living in the 'hood. We will be close to some million dollar homes.

GASP.

Thanks Kim - I will let you know more later this week.

Hopefully these migraines will clear, or else, I'll be at North East in concord again. I missed work again friday (but who cares now). They recommended caffiene and joe just about lost an eye over that one.
