Cautiously Optimistic

[Done in VA]

Well, today has been a MUCH better day. Thanks again for everyone encouraging me...I really needed that. I did some fun stuff today. Went to my networking breakfast, was asked to take on a couple new responsibilities that I don't really want to do, but figure they will help to keep me busy. I got a couple referrals - that always helps!

I went to the library & picked up some books for my daughter. My son & I are reading a chapter a night from Where the Red Fern Grows. I love being able to read him books like that. I think it will be so good when he is assigned to read those books later in life & will already be familiar w/the stories.

MIL stopped over last night...I will admit her NPD has not been as bad for the past few years...although we are no longer as enmeshed with her & I'm sure that's why. I heard from another friend of the family that she has been giving H a hard time. Telling him things like - HVA loves you so much...you can't be doing this to her...you better stop your $hit.

I don't want her to say these things. I don't want her to give him ultimatums on my behalf. I also do not want to mention anything to her if she decides to tell him anything I say. I know she's only trying to help, but...

And I am going to a neighbor's scrapbooking party tonight...should be fun

I got a very good friend of mine to post on the BB - please keep an eye out for Keepingthefaith w/a thread called Only God Knows Why...
