just thinking.......

I seem to be doing so much better since we received the news about Samantha. I thought, for a little bit, that I would end up having a nervous break down, you know in all honesty I think I was in the begging faze of one. There has been just one thing after another happing to us. Today we had a scare that Richard would lose his job, thank god he didn’t. The family I thought I had for in home childcare I am not so sure about anymore. We will see what happens. However I might have another alternative for work that I am equally if not more excited about. There is a position for a behavior therapist available that I completely qualify for, I am so shocked! Funny how this came to be, my mom was at a job fair and ran into the company, she spoke about me and every thing I have gone thought with Samantha, my experience working with special needs children and my little bit of education in the field. They were so impressed with my story they insisted I contact them for an interview. So once again, we shall see where god takes me

YAYY!

Good news!!! Samantha’s sweat test for cystic fibrosis came back negative!!! I am breathing again….
She is loving preschool, she goes 2 times a week for a few hours. She is still thriving developmentally, she is just doing so well. I am so proud of this little girl, she has shown me so much about life and love.

As for me I start my fist children on Monday for childcare!!! Yayy! I was a little intimidated because the father is an Elk Grove police officer and he came in his patrol car and uniform, but they are a very nice family. I was surprised that they liked me so much! Maybe that’s my low self esteem talking….I don’t know.

As for school, I think once I get a grip on this childcare thing I will start school in a few months, I have come to the conclusion I will be working towards my teaching credentials. The University of Phoenix has a awesome elementary teacher credential program, it’s just super expensive. I was thinking about Child, family and marriage therapist, but I have a plate of my own problems and I don’t think I should take on other peoples too.
