After dodging the bullet last year, this year I managed to get sick..it's been a week of coughing, low grade fever, and discomfort all around.
Meanwhile the kid with his first job is expecting his supervisor's to do their job! Is incredibly angry that they not only are not doing same, but expect much more of him. His anger is known throughout the house on a daily basis, little tantrums, big tantrums....and if it doesn't stop soon, he's gonna be finding he also doesn't have a place to live.
My daughter's Homecoming Dance experience was much less than she hoped. It was sadly very disappointing to her. She lasted about an hour. Her reaction to it, is casuing peers to talk. The one support that was in place wasn't. She now feels as though she can't be part of the whole. I made her feelings known to all those involved in this at school, and they all agree support is needed. However, they aren't forthcoming. She simply stands between those that don't need, and those that need alot more. All I can do is support her myself, and teach her the ugliness of the world so she can support herself.
Watching the news is increasingly disturbing, and I'm a news junkie.
We're lucky that two people in the family have jobs, but we're still looking. Not much out there.
Our bank is in talks with another to be sold..sigh.
I'm gaining weight again.
Too much stress. In turn with stress and weight...more pain.
It's hard because I wish I could be doing more myself to make things better, but unable. As a result I'm left wanting and needing, and the rest don't seem to be feeling that. When the ceiling caves in, I'll see it cave before they do. I don't know which is worse, to be able to ignore the ceiling about to cave and being shocked and surprised when it does, or to be able to see it coming and holding your breath in anticipation. There is definitely a difference and I have never learned to simply be able to enjoy today without worrying.
I'm not in a good mood. Sorry.
