Nice Letter

Dear Diary,

Morning.

B has been a little frustrated, he went through training and then basically ends up back on the same team he was on doing the same darn thing. The guy he is with to assist is basically self sufficent, B needs to do the hands on part now, all he did was the training but if you cant put what you learned into practice then what good is it?

And all the old peeps are coming back to him to do things he was previously doing. So yesterday he had it and was complaining to his former supervisor, who hes friends with and keeps talking of B coming over to his team.

Well right in the middle of B’s complaint the guy told B he had to go, and I guess walked right to some other head people. B then got a URGENT email notice to meet with a few top dog peoples. And it looks as if B will be moved into his old supervisors dept, or something of that nature. B also got his test results and he had the highest score of all of those on his team.

So hes excited and nervous all at the same time, new challanges and responsibilites, so he gets a little on edge, but he does do well with challange, so I know he will be okay.

I checked my email this AM and had a message, it was very sweet. I help with an abuse forum, so I was sent this…

“You have given me so much good advice(also in posts to others) that I just had to give you a note to say how much i appreciate you.

We are so unsecure when we shall start to make our own boundaries and we dont know when we are “allowed” to say no, or how much we should or should not tolerate, its all very confusing. Then you told me something i will never forget: Its what YOU feel which is important. Nobody else should decide for you how you should feel or how much you should tolerate.

This might be so obvious for many people and ppl may think it is strange that somebody thinks of this as a totally new and open door to a new and different world, but i did. It is such a relief. I can actually decide for my self how i think i should be treated. It is so so simple, and still so difficult…

Thank you :-)”

Its little moments like that where you smile right back, because I understand what she was saying and I was where she was, and people said these same things to me.

YAY!

I have been up a little earlier this week, we are out of breakfast stuff, and I totally forget cereal last night at Costco so the kids are having the school breakfast. Friday is there last day! Today my oldest is having a Gold Rush Party with his class, he dressed up and took a pan, and plastic utensils and things to barter(isnt that so cool?) The kids will be bartering toys, books, cards, you name it with other students.

And he had his clothes laid out all week, jeans, a western shirt, straw hat, he attached a little pouch bag to his belt loop, heehee. All to be a guy that is part of the Gold Rush times, and they brought there own tin pans for eating and plastic utensils.

So as I dropped them off I saw K and her kids, I usually see them when I go earlier as there son is Kindergarten( C is her husband who I grew up with, went from K-12th grade with, lived on same street, basically my longest friend in my life)

And I see her belly is big! Baby #3 is about due! I havent been by there in awhile so didnt know she was pregnant and C and I havent talked recently.

Ill have to make a call or send an email.

I leave work early today, my kids are having an award ceremony, and my youngest is getting an award, I didnt get a letter from my oldest childs teacher so not sure if oldest is getting one, typically both kids always have. They are for things like “Good homework skills(turning in homework regularly), perfect attendance, Student of the Month, Good Citizenship. Things like that. I think its a neat thing they do every quarter at the end.

So I will also get to head out a little earlier this afternoon after the ceremony for the gym.

My kids will be leaving this next Wed. And they are supposed to be with their Dad till the eve of July 5th.

Im looking forward to the alone time, and nervous at the same time. As that is such a long time with their Dad.

Im also going to have to address the movies the kids are watching when they are there once again. Also the child support, the kids clothing, shoes, activities. Im going to tell him Im getting really tired of his whining about no money to pay me but then the kids coming home telling me of all the DVD’s he just bought, cause they tell me constantly.

So what will I do when they are gone? Hmmm not sure as of yet, B and I will leave for the 4th of July weekend, we have a hotel booked also for 2 nights. YAY!

Well gonna scoot for now…
