Friday turned out to be a very difficult day. My district layed off ~115 teachers, including 17 ITS (my job). It was hard to hear my friend's say they got the phone call and had to go in immediately only to find out they have been layed off. I left work feeling sad and sick to my stomach. I am thankful I (so far) have made it through the cuts, but it was definately a reality check of times and how terrible they are. Saddening...
Please pray for our district as well as districts across the state and nation. These are tough times as state and federal governments continue to cut funds to our public schools leaving our teachers and students without...teachers w/o a job and students without the education they once knew as we make cuts to various departments.
Ryan and I, too, have begun to make cuts. We are in the process of selling some horses and try to simplify. We have put in a larger garden with the hopes of canning and freezing food for the upcoming winter. It will help if we can eliminate some grocery costs.
We are also in the process of selling our rent house. Our renters are looking into getting a morgage, so we hope to take that off our plates as well! We'll know5 more in a few weeks, but we are hopful as it benefits us and our renters. THey are wonderful people and we were so blessed they found us and our rent house. It took a few renters and some really hard times, but it was worth the wait. God's plan is always better, we just can't always see it until later on. This rent house as taught me that to be the case.
Well shelby wants to snuggle ans watch a video so i am signing off.
