THROW A FIT!
I am soooooooooooooooo aggravated and now have a pounding headache and I never get headaches. Here is the deal....long story short. I got paid today! YAY! I go to bank and deposit the regular check and cash my cheerleading check-my hard earned fun money. $120.00 worth of fun money. I am at ballgame tonight and get out my wallet that I specifically remember putting the money into after cashing the check-and I have $40 left. That's right! I panic-hubby and I go through my purse....retrace the day...he actually goes back home and goes through the trash. I am trying not to think the worst-that one of my students would do this to me. But I can't help it. It is gone and I know where I put it and I know that the only way it could be missing is if someone took it. I talked to an administrator and they are going to check the cameras tomorrow...and if what I am thinking is true...and I wish it wasn't so....someone will pay. All of a sudden it isn't JUST about the money-but a violation and trust! A trust I can no longer have. I always just leave my purse on top of my file cabinet and trust. I can no longer do that. A wise person once told me when I had $20 stolen out of my locker in HS that maybe someone needed it more than me and getting mad wouldn't do me any good. Go ahead and forgive them regardless of the known identity. So-I am going to do this. Forgive! And hope that the money is being used to feed someone hungry, keep someone warm and alive. That is what I can do. Writing helps me deal with these things...I started this blog out angry and violated....now I feel a peace that I just need to let this go. Will I starve? NO! As said before, that was my fun money and I will be fine. I just hope they will be too!
AAAAAHHHHH-sweet venting!

2 Commenting on your genius-ness:
ok, i felt the steam rise out of that vent and disipate into the blogosphere. While that does make me mad too (remember the stolen phone last year by a student??) it more makes you feel taken advantage of...and i hate that!
I'm glad you were able to refocus your thoughts.
I can't believe this happened. Trust is such a hard thing to attain, and once it is broken, it is harder to get back.
I love your new outlook. It is reassuring to know that you have such a good heart!
