[QUOTE]Thanks for checking back, Muppet! The biopsy went well. I just got the results back, and it was benign! So this is awesome news. My doctor does want me to have a follow-up ultrasound on my thyroid in six months, and to see an endocrinologist, but all in all, things are looking good! I hope everyone else has some happy news soon!

That's also wonderful, very happy news. I like this thread, lots of positive updates so far. 

Support is building for those who need it though, feel free to share.

What about you, you holding up this week?

I'm liking this thread!!  So many positives it seems.  CMGr - congratualtions on the healthy report.  And efmcc67 too.  Glad to hear you're both cancer free.  

Hoboken, is your DH on contract??  Does he automatically get placed somewhere, or does he have to start from scratch??  Hoping he'll have an in somewhere.  

Muppet, thanks for asking.  The numbers for enrollement next year are in, and we should all know within a week what positions are being offered to us at the other school, or if our current school can accomodate us.  I'm still really hoping to stay, even if I have to teach more elementary than now.  

In other news, I totally got headbutted in the throat catching my top tonight and I sound like a chain smoking phone sex worker.  Going to be fun teaching kids tomorrow!!

Kje - he'll get placed if a principal in the diocese has an opening that he's qualified for. He got called about 1 but it's only part time. He's going to the school tomorrow because we will both feel much better to have at least something secure for the fall. We'll struggle if he only works part time but we will be able to pay our bills which I can't on my own. If he gets it he will continue to look for a full time job and/or another part time one.

My mom had a tumor removed from her skull base and spinal fusion in February, and altogether, her bills from when she first went into the hospital on Thanksgiving to today, her bills before insurance payment added up to about $500,000.

I forgot to do mine. Fiance interviewed for a job promotion last week, he did well. He thought he had the job mostly but today, the company is flying in an applicant from TX that the big boss knows personally and the rumor is that the guy's been looking to move to NH. So...that can't be good at all. Our hope is that the company is too cheap to help the guy move or offer a competitive salary. It's really his only opportunity to grow with this company and there's not a lot of jobs around here that wouldn't be a step back in position or salary. His disability disqualifies him from the labor oriented jobs that are around and he doesn't have a degree. I hope he gets it so much.

Also, we lost an employee yesterday. 29 year old with aspbergers. His parents tried to wake him up and he was gone. He was really awkward but calling him was always a breath of fresh air because he was so excited about your call and to make sure you were having a good day....a good break from the normal humdrum and stress of the day. I feel so sad for his family and the two people in the company he worked with all day.

Such a tragic week.

That's terrible. So sorry for your loss. I have many students with Aspbergers and they truly make my life better for knowing them.

Muppet, you rock.  Thanks

I hope everything works out with FI's job, and I'm sorry to hear about the loss of an employee.  Very sad.

Also, thoughts and positive vibes to everyone who needs them.  I'm amazed at the strength of people, especially in the past week.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Good Vibes and Successes : It's been a doozie.  I got some of the bloodwork results back (they knew that I'd want to hear ASAP about one of the tests) and it was good news.  I'm just waiting to hear back from the doctor regarding the other tests to see what she wants to do next.   The news of the divorce this week (I posted about it on E) has been harder.  Since the news is "Facebook official", I can be honest about who it is.  My brother and his wife are divorcing.  She was one of my BMs and is a good friend of mine.  My relationship with him has been very rocky since Christmas.  So, there are a lot of things being said about the other, and it is just sad to see them end marriage after 5 months.   But I'm so glad to hear everyone else's great news!!

I'm glad the health news was good. I am sorry to hear about your brother.

I've been there and it was sad....I hope you are able to remain friends with her. Perhaps the saddest part of my breakup with ex was the huge base of friends I lost (because they started as his friends).

I'm glad for everyone's good health news.
Muppet sorry for your and his family's loss.
As for me, there has been some progression but nothing definitive.  I talked to my contact at the "dream job" and he said administration was interested in possibly hiring someone part time.  I told him that I would be ok with that and he said he would let the COO know.  Right now full time would be better but since I'm 35 we would want to have kids fairly soon so part time would actually be better in the long run and we can manage financially.
I am still talking to the people at the other job but honestly I'm dragging my feet a bit because I really want the other job.  Ugh stressful.
There is also the possibility of another short term OOT job like what I am doing now that would be 1 weekend a month in the meanwhile so I was thinking of trying to do that to buy more time waiting for the "dream job"
Don't get me wrong I am glad to have opportunities but the situation is stressing me out.

Uncertainty can be stressful regardless of whether it's positive!  Maybe this is a good opportunity to get your dream job, and find the time to start your family. In time, perhaps it will become full time too. Good luck with the soul searching as you evaluate these. You're in a good position!
