Teacher Appreciation Day

I'm back! And a lot sooner than I thought.

I need to vent a little first...

Today was the day that my company was finally going to give us details about our lay-offs. About time since they told us a month ago that they were shutting down our site. And, officially, we are being "terminated" (due to site closer) and not "laid-off". I prefer the term "laid-off". "Terminated" makes me feel like I was fired. I guess it doesn't really matter, what ever you call it, I'll be unemployed in 2 months! I think I hadn't really accepted it until today. So the rant is... I only got one more week in severance pay than someone who had only worked for a year!!! How can that be?? I've worked there just over 10 years!!

So, when I'm depressed (stressed) I usually snack on junk food. But tonight I came home and snuck away to my craft room to make a card for my son's teacher. (I figure it's better for my waist line. I've put on a couple of pounds already since the 'big announcement') How was I supposed to know that it was "Teacher Appreciation Day" today? With 3 kids and the end of my job around the corner, my head is some place else. The school didn't send home their usual notice. I need reminding of these little details. Here is what I made.




I enjoyed my short time in my room. Too bad it isn't big enough for a big comfy chair and tv. But then I may never come out :)

Thanks for visiting!
