And it's vulnerable folks who REALLY need someone like you to guide them. Maybe we could get your friend to come over to your blog and see what a good person you are and they will understand/forgive - your foot. Good thing we only have two, eh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20552696.post-28285738779582795962010-04-23T20:22:14.189-05:002010-04-23T20:22:14.189-05:00I left the public school system this academic year...I left the public school system this academic year to be a stay at home mom, and while I am not "retired" I mourn the loss of my friends, the children, my routine, being a part of the best part of many a child's day....<br />I felt directionless, isolated and depressed for about a month - then I slowly found my rut (oh!

Of course a couple of other things happened about the same time, my mother got sick and my daughter moved away. I have also lost touch with most of the people I worked with. But I feel like the last few months I have been on the up side!
