Trying Again

[topgunmb]

Feeling very discouraged right now. Kids are back, which I am super excited about. It's feels like it has been so long since I last saw them and I'm glad to have my little buddies back. Unfortunately, seeing my WAW again could have gone better. I made sure I looked as good as I could, threw on some cologne, a smile, and left with what I thought was enough time to get to the airport. Unfortunately, LA traffic had other plans for me and it took almost 2 hours to drive the 30 miles down there. I'm going to hope that most of the response I got was due to a lack of sleep, but it felt like everything was met with some sort of judgment on her part. I did my best to keep a PMA. I guess I had more expectations than I was ready to admit.

She fired a passing shot on her way out the door about how S8 was frequently late to school last year. I smiled and said that I knew and that it would be different this year. Her response was that knowing something and doing something about it were two different things. I again smiled and thanked her for caring about S8 getting to school all the while feeling like the first full visit in over a month was a complete bomb. Can we get something to douse these flames?

I guess the bright side to this is I now have a clear 180 that can be done - get kids to school on time this year.
