A New Start....well, sort of!

It has been quite a while since I have visited here....mainly, I don't have much to say and my computer has been on the fritz for a while....but now I am here!!

I finally got a 'real" job....and by real job, I mean steady (though only part time) and I actually have direct deposit....none of this under-the-table sporadic work. And it feels great to have something to go to everyday! I am a para-professional at a local elementary school. I was hired for a 60 day assignment, but it is very possible that I will be working until the end of the school year. That would be fantastic. It is right around the corner from my daughters middle school, so I drop her off, then head into work myself. AND we have all the same school breaks. It is the ideal situation for me since I have no one to help me with the responsibility of raising a child. I really like this job though was quite surprised when I found out that I was being paid HALF of what I thought I was being paid. I was told the amount by someone, but never got it in writing, therefore I was told the full day rate, not the half day rate.....anywho, it does not amount to much money at all (barely above minimum wage), however, I get my foot in the door for a possible position next year.

So there....some happy news!!!
