Wow. Sorry about the swearing, Lord. Well done you.

I cannot believe the complete turn around we've experienced in twenty-four hours. Yesterday, Beloved didn't get the job he had interviewed for; by the evening, he was back to being very anxious and emotional and we were preparing to be 300 miles apart from each other for another school year.

At 10:00 this morning, he called to tell me that he had received a phone call from a middle school principal who wanted to meet with him about a full-time history job. Keep in mind that he's been hoping to move from high school to middle school for the past few years. And that he loves to teach history.

At 2:30pm, he called to say that she'd offered him the job.

The only nervewracking bit is that it's a non-continuing contract, which means he's not guaranteed to have the job next year. But the job is a subject he loves to teach, a grade level he's been interested in for awhile, and the person who left the job already took another one, so chances are that he'll be renewed for next year without any problem.

I'm not sorry for yelling at God yesterday. I said what I needed to say.

But I'm awfully grateful that God doesn't hold grudges.

Amen.

And thanks.

Sometimes there's nothing more helpful than a good swearfest. I'm not really allowed to talk, because I swear all the time. But still. I reckon as long as the gratitude out-weighs the flubbedisuckedigrumblimucks, you're a-okay.

Enjoying the *bleep* outta your blog.
