My school district just let go close to 1100 empoyees and last year they let go 400. What a mess IL is in - they say 17,000 teachers will lose their jobs this yr in my state because of no money. Here I thought spec ed wouldn't be a problem - now I'm starting to get very worried. I'll certainly lose the house if I don't find a job. I dread looking for another job for the 3rd yr in a row - I don't feel I can deal with it anymore. There's too many bad things and never anything positive.

So today is Easter and it started off real bad. My oldest son went to his girlfriend\'s on Sat for easter which made me mad and my dtr ended up being out really late last night. I invited 2 friends over along with my mother and regretted doing that since I was in such a bad mood. I ended up giving in and giving chocolate bunnies to everyone and we had a really nice Easter. I even called my oldest son and said happy easter. I think he was surprised I wasn\'t yelling at him for something. My husband used to always say life is too short to be mad at people - and he was right. Now it\'s back to work tomorrow.
I\'ve been roaming this site for the last 20 min trying to figure out how to get on the HUGS page with all the little pictures - that I have been on so many times before. I\'ve tried everything. I went to help and all it told me was about a group HUG. Can someone tell me how to get to this page?
I think I have a good chance of getting my teaching job back for next year after reading an email at work today. I was happy - then sad. I had no one to call and tell. I can tell my kids or a friend - but it\'s not the same. I guess I can tell my husband and hope he knows. Someday I\'ll find out.
I am glad you shared it will all of us. I will keep my fingers crossed for you with the job situation. A hug for the day. Dianne
