A pity party dinner..

For 3 months I have been going through the hiring process for the police department where I live.  I passed all the panel interviews, background, lie detector test everything.  Yesterday the investigator said I had a 97% and would be getting an offered this week of employment.  Today I got a generic generated email letting me know they filled the position with an in-house volunteer.  I'm angry!  My husband tells me it must have been gods will and ptl (ptl- is our verison of praise the lord).  Well I have mentally railed at god all day and I know this is wrong.  I have 3 wonderful babies to concentrate on.  This job is not needed- I applied for selfish reasons.  I wanted to paint the exterior of the house, get a boat, re-pave the driveway.  All things that we can do on my husbands salary just not immediately.  I cooked and i'm over it.  So heres my pity party meal.
