Bad News, Good News, and some Great News...

I will start off with the bad news so that this post gets better. I always like to get the bad stuff out of the way if I can. :] So, here it is... I have been holding out for this job. It is actually a job that I had before and wanted to go back to, but it looks like that isn't going to happen. At least not at this point. Our lovely state is in such a crisis right now that they have put a freeze on all hiring, even though we have a huge list of children that should be getting services right now and are sitting on a waiting list! So for now I wait... just like those kiddo's. It just makes me mad because there is a need for my services, heck we (the state) even owe back services right now! It is so frustrating knowing that I can help those who need it, and they can get the help, but the state is such a bad spot that we all loose out. And right now really sucks for me because I was really really wanting to get this job. It would give me more time at home with my family as well as provide some financial stability. Oh well... I guess for now I will have to learn to be more frugal and continue to wait it out. I guess on the bright side of things is that if I don't get the position, I will have another month off from school to enjoy the summer with my family! That is always a good thing.

So the good news is... they were able to recover my photo's from Disneyland! How great is that! Okay, so I guess this should have been titled Bad news, Great News, Great News... I am so super excited about this! I don't have them all uploaded yet, but here is a few...
