I'm done

This is a picture of Jeana, my supervisor, and me. This was taken after I received a standing ovation at a Head Start meeting. Yes, you can see I look like crap. I cried when I got the standing ovation.

This is a picture of me with Rita, the Head Start director. I had to talk about my experience with Head Start. I winged it and I wasn't even nervous!

Yes, I am done. No more going back to work at Head Start. It was not too bad of a day. When I got to work the Head Start director was there. She gave me her cell phone number and wants me to keep in touch. We talked about a possible replacement for me. If they don't get any applications in before Monday at 3 they are going to have to re-advertise. (I know, I am so hard to replace.) (Not really, they are just trying to find someone bilingual.) Lynne and Christina came in late. We went to lunch and I got presents!!! Lynne gave me an angel night light that has a little tag that says "God Bless This House" and from Christina I am getting a canvas bag that has a picture of our Head Start center staff on it. It was a picture of us when we had crazy day. We were all dressed goofy. The bag was special ordered and it hasn't come in yet. I can't wait to get it. After lunch I had to say goodbye to Christina. I had a few tears. Lynne and I had some orientations to do and then when she got ready to leave we hugged and we really cried. We have been together since 1995. We have had our ups and our downs - kind of like a marriage. I told her next summer when she is laid off that she can come visit me in Kansas. My desk looked so empty when I left. It was weird locking the door for the last time. Oh well. On to the next chapter in my life. What is in store for me now? Only God knows the answer to that question.
