I woke up this morning knowing that I had to do something about work. After tossing and turning I realized I would just go in and talk to the boss and let him know what I was doing to improve things, while making sure I hadn't missed anything. The plan worked and today wasn't bad. It didn't fix the big hair and the dry zit on my cheek, but it did improve my mood.
Damn Sarbane-Oxley and retards who interpret it as job security for an extra 3 people per department. I now get to document every change we make to the system. We don't have to document changes to our reporting formulas since that isn't part of the system though. Go figure. Ugh, it doesn't make any sense.
Beautiful man is still calling me every day. Ireland boy hasn't called in 2 weeks. Yep, that's right. TWO WEEKS. It makes the whole breaking up process easier. You really don't have to do it if they just don't call. Right?
Anywho....I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who hits this site, but if you're not me and you want to get a cabin for New Years drop me a line.

 
Life is a whirlwind. Have you ever just stood and watched life happen? Have you ever realized that you just go to work even though more is expected of you? Have you ever listened to the innuendos and words between the lines and known that it is pointed at you? And yet, nothing is said. It's like watching the ship form a hole and wondering if it's worth patching. You know it's a darn good ship, but really, there are better buys.
And yet, life is good. I have a handsome man fawning over me. The kids are doing well in school. And really, I'm not going to be fired. Complacency sets in. How long will it last.

 
As inspired by Jim, I feel I should create my list of things I am grateful for. This year has been one of personal growth. My boys are exhibiting their own personality. Brylan is becoming a student and conquering some of his personal roadblocks. Greggory has chosen beautiful friends. Both of these facts warm my heart to no end. I have found myself in two true relationships over the past two years. Both of these were fearless strides and showed a true break from my problematic habits. Neither of them worked out, but both brought me uninhibited love and showed me the next step to happiness. I have gained confidence and realistic expectations for my future mate. I've also learned to open my eyes and see the truth rather than listening only to what I want to hear. I can now speak to my mother as a friend instead of as an ashamed daughter. I live comfortably and am in a position where I can raise my boys in happiness. It certainly isn't ideal, and it definitely leaves room for growth, but I no longer need to struggle to provide a healthy stable life for them. I am content, and for that, I am grateful.
