This is one of the toughest weeks I have ever had. I have spent a ton of it in tears, but I am at peace now with the decision I have made. For those of you who don’t know, I quit my job. It is a very long story and I am not at fault. I realized after some incidents this week that it is not good to stay and work in a toxic environment. Library jobs are being cut everywhere, so how will we make ends meet? I have no clue. But I do believe in a loving heavenly father and I am trying to learn whatever it is that I am supposed to learn here and have faith that he will provide the job I need to keep going.
I will say though that this has convinced me to stay home, get a job at home, and stay away from as many people as possible. I am just too old for this. When I told Alayna I quit, she said, “Now I’ll get my mom back.” That speaks volumes.
On Thursday, the secretary at the high school came to tell me I had several deliveries. Of Books? No! Flowers! I went to the front office and 6 bouquets of the most beautiful flower shad been delivered to me by my loving Ribera family. I cried. They were a show of love and support- something I will never forget!
Yesterday was a fantastic day. We ran errands, played tennis, started the garden and yardwork, got a new mirror for the downstairs bathroom, make enchiladas and rice crispy treats and spent the evening with ALayns. (Tyler was at some gaming night with friends. By the way I guess he asked a girl to prom. She said yes.) I love staying up later, being with my family, and once I quit, my stress lowered big time.
Flash back: Easter was ok. Conference was awesome and I made killer crepes. But the kids got their own candy and I shoved it on the table. No rainbow starburst trail for the 1st time in 20 years. Oh well.
