“I wish it was Sunday
‘Cause that’s my fun day
My I don’t have to run day
It’s just another manic Monday.”

I have still not heard about the teaching position. It’s starting to get to me; I jump every time I hear a ringing phone and I pray that it’s mine. I hate this part, the waiting. It would be so much easier if employers could just give you a yes or no on your way out the door.

I did find out that the other two people interviewing for the position are actually certified English-teachers, which means I should be in last place and only get the job if the other two come down with some rare cow-flu. But I’m still optimistic.

The Hubby got an amazing bonus this year, so he tells me that I can take my time in finding a new gig. But I don’t want to take that much time. It’s not fair to my clients since I am avoiding work at this point. I know I will be leaving on short notice and don’t want to get chest-deep in a project that I would then have to hand over to another attorney with no working knowledge of it. It’s an odd position to be in. I have never left a job where everyone didn’t know for months in advance that I’d be moving or graduating or something similar.

On a cheerier note, my little family participated in the church nativity this weekend. We were Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus. (I tried to tell the casting director that a ten-month old, red-haired, blue-eyed, little girl who refuses to lie still should not be playing the newborn Baby Jesus, but I lost the argument.) And she was perfect. For the first half of the evening, she smiled and waved at the crowd. And then she fell asleep. She looked like an angel, wrapped up in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. It made me wonder what Mary must have thought as she watched her little boy lie there that night, knowing that he was destined for something greater than she could ever know. I admit I cried as I thought of it.

I hope you all take some time, amidst the hustle and bustle of present-buying and party-hopping, to think about the why behind what you are doing this Christmas, and to thank God for all that He has done! May God bless you and keep you!
