Life is a mystery
Everyone must stand alone...

For some reason the Madonna song "Like a Prayer" popped into my mind. I was feeling sorry for myself I guess and wishing I had someone to talk to. I guess it's better that I don't have anyone to lean on because it forces me to lean on my Higher Power. It just doesn't seem fair that's all.

It was a slow day, a long day. It's all I can do to hold my tongue around Missie and Jennifer. I want to retaliate somehow but I know that it would be the wrong thing to do. I mean, two wrongs don't make a right.

Elyce called this weekend and I found myself saying to her what I most needed to hear. It's funny how that works. She called back last night and told me that she heard more growth in my words and voice than she has in the last two years. I take that as a compliment.

Paige Luna, a fourth grade teacher gave me a little false hope. She said that she heard that those given pink slips would be rehired and possibly rearranged. At this point I really don't care. I'm beginning to wonder why I fought so hard to get hired into the Giles County School System. It's certainly isn't what I had hoped it would be.
