When someone just simply annoys you with every breath, yet you must continue to have dealings with this person?
I simply have to deal with it so I need develop some strategies to keep from being negative while working with a personality that I find extremely difficult. I can’t just internal all that negative energy, way to destructive to any person too that.
What strategies do you have?
If you want to work with kids, please understand that they are not all the same. That is all. Thank you!
The Android app is installed. Works well but I will have to be very careful of autocorrect. Or just shut it off……
Off to get ready for work after peeking in on my Sleeping Beauties.
Already. Why is it the weekend has to fly by? Really nice weekend (even though on call). Only scheduled event was a birthday party my middle daughter had been invited to. It was at Children’s Museum of Evansville. Since CMoE is so close to EVPL’s Central Library, we all piled in the van and headed downtown. Dropped P off at her party and everyone else spend an hour and a half relaxing at the library. Hoping next weekend is as stress free. Perhaps we can fit in a trip to the zoo. The weekend after that though…..back to crazy. USATF district (State) track meet. We’ll be heading up to Noblesville Indiana in support of the Evansville Speedsters track club and especially our 12 year old Speedster. 
Now though? Time to lose myself in one of those books I picked up at the library yesterday!
This summer is set to be full of new experiences for us. Matt is working for himself at ATPClothing and coaching young (or any) runners. He left his “traditional” job of working for others in February, after we became debt free except for the house. While this has significantly reduced our income, it also decreased our expenses. AND it allowed us to finally take the kids out of after school and summer care. (those things being the 2 biggest expenses….along with gas traveling to all the Owensboro area territory he covered for his job)
The kids are going to have a lot of adjusting to do. They are used to going to summer day camp and being constantly on the go with that.
Matt has to figure out how to work with the girls there all the time. And how to feed them more than nutella/marshallow fluff sandwiches and ramen noodles.
Me, I am STILL having to beat down that jealousy that keeps popping up that it is my job that we needed to keep to be able to have the kids home. It’s very hard some mornings to get ready for work and to leave while the girls are asleep and Matt’s in his pj’s still. Even harder when I know they have a fun outing planned for the day.
I just have to keep it in perspective. If we want them home and we want to keep them in thier current school, this is the sacrifice. I think it is worth it. Even on the depressingly hard days….
ANOTHER two hour delay. Are these kids ever going to be a le to get into a routine? This winter has not been bad, yet All 6 (4 in sole cases) built in snow days have been used. And there have been plenty of 2 hour delays added in as well.
Don’t get me wrong, I want kids to be safe. I never remember being out for so little. Perhaps the risk ot litigation is the difference. That and maybe common sense has become an even more rare beast than it was 30 or so years ago. Put those 2 together an I get it. Really I do. But there has to be a middle ground somewhere. Maybe that is what the delays represent, the middle ground. OK, enough blowing off steam. I need to get my kids to thier alternate arrangements and get to work.
Made it to Saturday again. Game day for the winter. Piper had an Upward game to cheer at at noon. We will be leaving shortly to go to Alexa’s 4:15 basketball game. Poor little Tori just gets to tag along to everything this year. Dinner is in the crockpot so I feel a movie night coming on after Lex’s game. Now, as long as my phone stays quiet, it will be a nice relaxing family evening. (I am o. Call this weekend)
Busy day is ending! This Saturday was a busy one. Hubby left super early for the Southern Indiana Classic (SIC) training run. I got the girls up and headed off to Alexa’s basketball game. After her game, we
Ade a really quick stop at Wendy’s befor Piper’s noon game. Today was Piper’s first cheer experience. Once that game was over we dropped P off at a birthday party. Matt and Alexa headed out to buy a few more fish and the she was off to a sleepover. We still have one to go with the activities. I suppose we had better get used to this insanity.
