Warning: This post is a whine/vent. Don't read it if you don't wanna hear it.
You know the saying "Always a bridesmaid, never a bride." Well, this is how I feel (obviously not literally because I'm married.) I guess in my situation it would be more like "Always a substitute, never a teacher."
For the past two years, I've felt sad when September rolls around and I hear teachers talking about decorating their rooms, or getting supplies ready for the school year (or not to mention getting a steady pay check.)
I know its stupid, but when you go to school for 4.5 years, spend tons of money for this education...then have no where to use it, it gets kinda depressing.
Its nobodies fault but this dumb economy.
When I look at job postings, the requirements are usually "At least one year of experience required" or "Bilingual." I can't help the second requirement, but for the first... how the heck am I supposed to get a year of experience if no one will take a chance on me!?
Being a substitute is no walk in the park, let me tell you.
I try not to worry about it..because for the past 2 years I have been taken care of and God has provided...but its like, when is it going to be MY time. It always works out...God's timing is always perfect.
I guess sometimes I just need to vent.
wa wa wa cry me a river, I know. Someone call the WAAAmbulance. I'm done now.
thanks. I feel better now. :)

Boy do I know how you feel...in different areas of my life obviously, but I know. Like we have talked about, God has it all planned out and His plan is greater than any other we can dream up. At least once a day I have the song in my head "In His Time" :) Like you said, God has provided thus far & how amazing will it be for you to stay home with Jake on the days you aren't subbing.
Jenalee my friend, you most certainly aren't alone. I have 5 years education with a degree in criminal justice and no one will hire me because I don't have the experience and can't get experience because no one will give me a chance. The economy should turn around; I hope it does sooner than later. The bright side of this is that you are pregnant right now. You'd be going on leave after starting a job. I believe it's in God's plan that you get a job after your lil one arrives. By then the economy should've turned around a little. If you're interested, I'd like to take a Spanish class and would like a buddy. Just a thought. Vent on =)
