Well, today it is the "Back to School Blues" for me :-( For those of you who might not know this, I have been a full-time preschool teacher at the same school for 5 years and worked there for 3 years before that as the director of their after-school care program! 2 weeks ago I found out that I was being laid off- No "Back to school" for me this year....I was traumatized!
Immediately I had 1,000 thoughts running through my mind- "It's the end of August! Teaching jobs are all gone!", "What am I going to do now?", "I have no way to pay my bills!", "I just spent an entire summer preparing for a new class.", etc. etc.
I then had to go through taking my classroom apart, puzzle by puzzle, box by box, game by game, etc. It has been very hard. Bringing EVERYTHING from almost a decade's worth of teaching back into my tiny 2-bedroom house has turned it into a nightmare to rival the homes from the show "Hoarders".
I am still in the "What now?" phase and have been praying that God would really open doors that He wants open and shut the ones He wants shut. I have been praying for direction and peace to do the right thing...In all of this, one of my hopes is that I will be able to take the opportunity to really "grow" my business, which I couldn't really do before because of time.
I have quite a few great "IDEAS" for "More Than Many Sparrows Boutique" to expand and grow it and am hoping and praying that they will benefit both me and YOU- the customers!
Please check back often for new items, ideas, games, sales, craft shows and MORE!!! I LOVE participation from my fans and will be asking lots of questions for your input!
As always, thank you for your support :-)
