I Can Haz Weekends Nao? Yes?
April 10, 2009
This week has been horribly rough. For instance:
- I found out late last week that my job description is going to change next year, and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I KNOW I can do it, that isn’t the point, but it is taking me away from the area in which I like to work. I’m sad to be going in a different direction, but I’m trying to remember that every opportunity is a good opportunity, and hope for the best. Still, Not. Thrilled.
- My FIL’s rehabilitation is not progressing as quickly as we had hoped, and we have had a slow start. Each day there is improvement, but while we are filled with the hope, we are quietly freaking out at the slow pace. Our days are filled with conferring with nurses, doctors, and traveling to and from the hospital in shifts. I feel like Orlando should name a highway after our family with as much traveling as we have done on it. I”m sure I have sent someone’s kid to college with all the tolls we have paid in the past three weeks.
- Maddie. What can I say that hasn’t already been said? My heart goes out to any parent that loses the love of their lives, but Heather and Mike are people I love dearly. When you meet Heather, you meet Maddie. Those two were one. Her star in the sky will shine brighter every day, guiding us forward. (P.S. The wordsmith leaves me when it comes to things like this) Please help them by donating here. If you are on Twitter, please send @mamaspohr your love.
- Spiff had a bullying situation at the school that ended with his notebook being thrown up onto the roof of a portable by a student. However, the galling part of this was not the notebook on the roof; but the student who started it in the first place. It was one of his closest friends at the school, and one of the kids egging him on was another friend. Spiff had to report it, and because of that, the student spent time in ISS (In School Suspension) and has told my son, who is crushed he “ratted out his friends”, that he will “burn in hell”. Niiice. This is even more painful when you add in that the student who started it also has “issues”. So I suppose the old adage IS true, Kids (no matter what the issues) ARE mean. Breaks my heart.
These are the lessons I really hate having to teach my son.
