Blogging has kind of taken a backseat to real life lately. I have family stuff going on that is taking much of my nurturing and manipulation resources. And it’s emotionally exhausting. Why people can’t see long-term into the future and make choices that are going to make their lives better … is beyond me. And it’s so difficult to be put in a place to try to convince a person that making the harder choice now is in their best interest. Seriously, if it wasn’t people I love, I’d so just walk away. And we won’t even touch on the fact that it gives me chills sometimes that I am biologically related to these people. Scares me. Seriously.

I’m also working on the first week packets for the PTSA. Sounds simple enough. But we are just gutting them and starting from scratch. We are really trying to do them with a bit of marketing flair to make them more readable, more inviting, and really help build pride and community in our school. But it’s a lot of work. And again, I have visions of putting all this time into the project and thinking it’s pretty darn terrific, and then we have to float it in front of a lot of people and they’ll want to make a bunch of changes. And I’ll have to suck it all up and pretend like I want to make all their stupid changes. Cause you know… that’s what good project managers do. They manage.

And then there is a bunch of stuff I don’t want to put into this blog, but to wrap your head around just what a shitty week it’s been… Let me draw a picture of how I soothed myself ok? It involved a lot of food, carbohydrates, chocolate (remember, food is my drug of choice), cleaning out a closet, and even a pack of cigarettes. (I used to smoke many moons ago and still do once perhaps once a year or so when I get really upset or really drunk).

So there ya go. Life is looking up again. But now I’m playing catch up with all the little things that have put aside while dealing with life’s land mines.
