I've been so busy with life lately, I haven't dropped by lately and I feel like I've missed so much going on! Not much changes in my life. The kids have decided to help me volunteer with my feeding the homeless every Thanksgiving, even on X's years, and he does the Turkey Trot at the same time anyway, but says the kids will just have Thanksgiving with me forever then.

I had Christmas Eve with the kids and then X has them until later this week. My govt job has gotten really crazy and overworked-I'm working an extra 8 hours free every week and still can't keep up. One of my best friends at work is going to get fired (our supervisor told her) and she works 10 extra hours a week. I asked to take off Christmas Eve to spend the day with my kids since I didn't have them after that and my boss gave me a hard time-telling me administration is watching me and am I sure I want to take Christmas Eve off work. I work extra all the time, have months of leave saved, had one day to spend Christmas with my kids!!! I feel like I'm working for Scrooge. It's good though I've been applying to dozens of jobs the last couple of weeks, all that I can find that aren't a major pay cut. Then I spent Christmas with friends so that was fine.

Something weird happened with X. We have been peaceful. Not talking to each other in months which is good. I dropped off with the kids yesterday my son's Bible he forgot and a craft kit I had bought my daughter she wants to make for X's birthday in 2 days. After I dropped it off there I got gas and then went to the grocery store by my house. X parked near me and went in there just as I got there and left the store as I left the store. Which is weird because my son told me they were grocery shopping when he called me about his Bible, and the store we were at in case he wanted to go to that one is 15 minutes from his house and there is one 2 minutes from his house. Isn't that the weirdest thing????
