Still riding the waves

[mleigh4]

Hi Ciluzen, thank you for stopping by. I will read up on your sitch and too send you my support! The advice on here is priceless, it's these people here who have gotten me through this in one piece.

So updating...all I can say about this last week is I am wiped out!! To make a long story short....

My cousins dog peed on my new carpet and caused me to have to sleep on my couch for 3 nights. After several attempts of cleaning it, I am getting quotes to have it professionally cleaned, offered by my cousin. My back is killing me from sleeping on the couch.

I attended a meeting for an advanced after school program that my son qualified for and he excitedly signed up for half the classes. Science, clay art and guest speakers/field trips. Fun fun!

I celebrated my 20 year anniversary with my company on Thursday. They took a group of us to San Francisco for lunch and I got a little financial bonus that S and I are using some of to upgrade our laptop.

My mom and I got in a lovely spat this week, it came up how distant we are...I told her that I know she has been there for me as much as she is capable of, and same goes for me.

My MIL once again forgot to tell S's after school program that she picked him up from school, so they have to track us down to let us know S did not show up. so I let H know what has been going on and that Grammy day is just not working.

Which brings me to H. He has been his chipper and friendly self. He actually called instead of TM the other night to let me know he was dropping off S to a bday party Saturday night, which I already knew. Tonight, he TM a pic of a skooter S wants for Christmas and threw in there that Santa might be getting me one too....So, perfect opportunity for me to reply my holiday thoughts. I replied that I was confused by that, that so much has changed this year, that we live separate lives now and that I was not thinking we would be exchanging gifts or spending the holidays together. I added that we really should get that figured out.

Silence......

I have a hike planned with my girlfriends this weekend, a stack of papers to correct for S teacher, and the rest of the weekend for down time!!
