Road Blocks

   I went to sleep last night with an entire agenda for today. I guess God had another plan for me because when I woke up I could barely swallow. When I got out of bed I realized that my entire body was sore. Thank goodness I already planned on taking off from work because there was no way I was going to make it today. O'well. It seems like anytime I do have free time off from the regular 9 to 5 something comes up and I'm unable to really do what I need to do for my true passion..real estate...which brings me to the foloowing story...
   One week before school started, I called to ask when I should report and I was told that I was not expected to report this year due to budget issues. This came as a complete surprise to me but I was not sad about it. I proceeded to make plans in my head to try and increase my real estate business. I told my husband about what was said and he flipped out internally. His jaw tightened, his face turned away, and his entire aura changed. Of course his primary concern was, how in the world are we going to pay our bills? I on the other hand, had already called on the All Mighty for guidance.
  On the night before school started I get a call from the school secretary asking if I can come in on Monday. Huh? I was taken aback by this. Didn't she just tell me I was fired? Of course I said yes, only for the sake of not arguing with my husband. I mean, I didn't really have a choice in the matter. So now I'm back at the school doing the same thing I did last year. I don't know what my position is, I don't feel like I'm a part of the staff because I have no set role and my salary has been cut.
    I'm trying to find time to expand my real estate business so that I can do it full time. This is what I love. This is what makes me happy.
