Random stuff..

Just some things to whine about, vent about, be thankful for, and mention...

The Whine...

• CC@A supposedly only referred from 3/3/06 to 3/6/06.... March 06 in March 09, and April 09, probably May 09...so on and so-forth. %@$#&^$. Thats all I have to say about that.
  
  
• I'm sorry once again, T, M, and L & L.... , and everyone else on the cusp... you are in my thoughts :o(

The Vent...

• Faceb@@k. Like it or confused by the supposed necessity of it... I guess if I had more time to be on the computer I would get the real purpose of it. But currently, not only am I not able to be on there much, when I am... there is just so much that it is overwhelming. I'm not sure what to talk about where (meaning here or there), I get overwhelmed by the amount of "notes" people tag you on... I wish I had the time, or just wasn't so lazy, to fill them all out... or, do I really want to. That space is much more public than this one (in my world, anyways) that there is only so much that I want "joe" from 8th grade to know about me!!! Then there is my current gripe about someone who "friended" me from my HS days in California. Seemed at first like this person wanted to really catch up on life through various emails... so after reading her "life story" as it has been since grade 12, I write the ever detailed, very long version of mine. Which of course included very specific details of the adoption. Her response, after 2 months time passed, "wow... that's great that your looking into adoption. My SIL has a friend who has connections with a Gu@talman orphanage. I could have her contact you with information if you decide to look overseas." WTF... did you even read my email, with the detailed description of what I am doing???? I know this is so insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but it just irked me. Don't friend me if you really don't care to know me. nuff said...
  
  
• I have however, reconnected with a couple of old friends and even met for dinners and such... so that is a positive aspect to it... But the whole thing still muddles my brain.
  

The Thankful for...

• I am finally in the "review room". After 22.5 months, my dossier has been dusted off and is actually being looked at by someone. I only wish I was still as young and as thin as the pictures are.. sigh... At least I have some stake in the box changing soon... I'll be glad to know I'm out!!!
  
  
• This being in review finally prompted me to get off my lazy arse and call my agency. The original office I started with closed back in Oct 08 and I have never heard a peep from the new office or new SW. So I started to think the worst... What if my file never made it to the new office, what if my old SW never updated my new address and phone info, what if the CC@A had questions, and no one knew who or where I was. Well, all is good! The new office does know me, know where I live, and will contact me if they need anything.... whew! So I can breathe a sigh of relief and know that at least in their eyes, I am still "oh so patiently" waiting, and I do indeed exist!
  
  
• The state of our economy truly scares the shit out of me... Therefore, I am truly thankful, each day, that I have a job that is not in jeopardy, I have a lovely home that I can afford, and that as hard as things may get in these coming months... I will manage just fine. I do worry about others, but I can offer my ears to listen to their worries, since my own burden is truly less. I am Thankful.
  

The things to mention...

• I NEED A VACATION! I 'm having serious cravings for some sunshine and warmth. The urge to book something for Easter break is so freakin huge.... but knowing that I have two other "plans" for summer break and November break , this leaves me thinking... enough already... STAY HOME. I'm totally up for a road trip though... Shannon???
  
  
• I am single, again. Obviously from my most recent posts I'm sure you gathered that S and I parted ways. It was a mutual, amicable decision that needed to be made. He is struggling with things in his life that I cannot help him with, nor does he want my help. I don't blame him, but these are things only he can deal with and I need to take care of me. So single again it is... I really have this sense of light-ness? that I haven't had for sometime. It feels good to be free of all my "stuff", starting fresh and completely free.
  
  
• I miss all my girlfriends... even though I just saw some of you in Dec... seeing some of you together this last week at T's, made me long for the days we have spent in Mel's kitchen, just endless chatting with people who "get it", and people whom I've come to cherish in my life... We need a plan... something to look forward to...
  
  
• Work is, dare I say, really good... Me and my boys are faring well, gearing up for state testing, and surviving the day to day "stuff". I LOVE my new VP... no one gets me like she does. It makes my job so much better than I could have imagined. She makes me want to continue, for awhile, with my boys, in my classroom. She has taken the burden of administrative discipline off my shoulders so that I can be what I need to be, teacher, mother, soft-place-to-fall. That is truly priceless. She has become the reason that I will not look to leave this job.
  
  

That's it for now... Night all
