WHY MUST I BE SUCH A COMPLICATED WOMAN!? I know it is a
stereotype but I am fitting in to it pretty well these days. The school board
meeting lasted quite late last night. Educators, parents, grandparents….they
came out in droves to plea with the board to not close our birth-2 early
learning center. Men, grown men, on the board were moved to tears but in a
strange twist the two female board members sat stone-faced with a random buzz
kill comment here and there. I left the meeting around 9:30, while they were
still debating. They delayed the vote until Friday in an effort to save the
program upon word from the State of Iowa
on funds. The whole thing was exhausting. It has been quite a journey
emotionally for me. I have openly shared my current ‘mini mid-life crisis’ with
you through the past weeks. I have been in my current job for over eight years
now. Boring HR same ol, same ol…this person quit, lets hire a new….this person
needs a new uniform, get him a new one…..just blah. I just keep thinking this
whole thing is a sign. For what? I don’t know….could I be one of those people
who go back to college at 30 something? Does that make me a yuppie? Does that
make me an irresponsible adult for quitting a job with benefits (crap pay) to pursue
a dream? It seems pretty deep for 8 AM and I don’t even have chocolate to
ponder it over with. Bummer.
