Hello everyone! I just wanted to pop in and say hi. I don't get on here enough for sure. All is well, I am just busy teaching my youngest to drive and working full time. I miss you all and hope that you are all healthy and happy. May you all stay safe from the Nor'easter. No power outages trees down etc. Hope to talk to you all soon!

I’m pretty devastated right now. I have been working in a preschool as a sub all year, and they tried to take me on full time. I’ve been bringing Alex there and we’ve been going for the past two weeks. They got my background check back and I failed. For those of you who don’t know, I used to have a pretty bad drug problem. I also had to plead guilty for resisting arrest, but that was a felony that should have been turned into a misdemeanor....I completed all of the probation and jail time. CPS was involved, and I had 3 children removed. I finally got my stuff together, and after years of inpatient, outpatient, meetings, counseling, and getting my head out of my arse, I earned my eldest back from foster care. I’ve since had little Alex and no issues. This was almost ten years in my past. I went to 6 years of college for teaching: 4 for my BA and two separate grad programs. I’ve been out of the (high school) classroom since 2008. This was my first venture back into the field. 160k in student loans and all that Education and passion wasted because of my past mistakes: this just sucks. I guess it’s back to online ESL and maybe getting my butt back in gear to write. (I had ordered baby chic eggs and and incubator for the little preschoolers and I won’t even be able to teach the unit and watch their little faces when the chics hatch:()
Thanks for letting me unload all of that. Love you guys.

I'm sorry to hear that, this is really unfair.

Don't lose Courage and cheer up.

I have to go to the post office and pick up my copy of the certified letter containing the report; I don’t even know what caused me to fail. It’s either the resisting charge or the CPS history. I’ve spoken to an attorney in Phoenix (where my past took place), and she said that Arizona doesn’t expunge, but I can go through a “satisfaction of charge” appeal. The more likely scenario is that my CPS history is the problem, and that is more complicated to undo, especially in AZ, a state known for having a horribly unsympathetic CPS system. I’m a rehabilitated and functional person, a living parent, and a good teacher. Unfortunately, it might not be good enough to fix my past on paper.
I'm so very sorry, Nomik. I suspect that you're right that the CPS records are the bigger issue and it definitely seems like there should be system in place to seal records for people like you. Hoefully all is not lost though. Perhaps, you just need to change your focus to teaching community college (adult students) or teaching for non-profits who help at-risk youth (who might be more understanding), etc. Surely, there are avenues where you can teach without your past putting up a roadblock. Sending you lots of love and support.

What the hell Nomik. I don't know what to say to you. Let's just hold every single person in chains who has ever made a mistake. You've worked hard to correct it -- damn, let's punish the correct people, shall we? Good luck and fight to make this right. YOU ARE WORTH THE FIGHT.
Thanks. I need to hear this because I’m getting kind of down about it. You guys rock.

That's awful for you - so sorry that something that happened so many years ago has come back to haunt you. Is there any way you could explain the circumstances so that you can get a second chance? ((((Nomik))))

Woke up to a winter wonderland this morning - lots of heavy wet snow weighing down the trees. Still - probably not as bad as what hit on the North Eastern part of the country (Eastern seaboard) - heard that power is out in many areas there still.

My son chose to use the back door to get to the bus stop, as the row of cedar trees we have out front were all bent over and blocking his path.

On the news they said if you don't have to go anywhere this morning it would be best to just stay home (until the snow plows can get out there and clean up).

Happy Monday!!

I have flu AGAIN. Here is two different types of Flu in Finland now, Flu A and Flu B. I might have one of them. Many people are
in the hospital care because of these flu types. My nose running and my throat is sore, but I don't have fever,not just yet. Oh
I just hope that spring and warm arrive soon so all these nasty thing as flu goes away.

Been busy taking care of Star and the dogs. And I also had a long weekend off from work. I have been off from work in four days
and return back on Wednesday. If the flu not put me in bed. I wish I had some time to stop by here more often but life keeps me
busy.

Star is such a sweet horse. I have riding with her almost everyday and she is learning new things every time. Yesterday we
were on a riding lesson and that went well too. I am so proud of my horse.

Finally it's not so cold anymore. Around -6C during the days and -12C on the nights. But forecast said that spring arrive in
April. Oh No I am so tired of winter and cold.

I heard on the news about the storm on East Coast US. Please stay safe there. Mother Nature have forgot her chill pill again.

Please take good care of you also and be well. :)

nomik- good luck.
Becks- good to see you too.

Hope you get to feeling better JoJo. It's been a pretty bad year for the flu everywhere it seems like.

Sorry to hear about the flu - is it affecting your throat/voice?

I hope you're not a "little horse" (hoarse) :facepalm_smiley::m_thinking:
