Summer is 1/2 over...With any luck I will be following my kids back to school so I can get a job not in retail, and not involving a headset. This being Brockville, there's not a lot of jobs available without some kind of diploma.
I never finished college....the numbers classes ( math, accounting..)proved more difficult than I knew. Soon after I left, a friend with the credentials casually tested me for numeric dyslexia....no problem with letters, just numbers..particularily when under stress...STRESS...WHAT STRESS?????.
Knowing helps, and leads one to turn down retail management opportunities. They kinda like their books to balance!
You know that e-mail that went around about quitting being an adult? I must say there are days when I wish it could happen...or that we could at least get the "do-overs".
On the other hand...I suppose that some of the caca that happens is meant to.
I've certainly learned.
Next on my calendar is Natasha, my 13-year-old, is having a house guest for a week, then she's going to the friends. Chloe (9), and I will be on our own for a time. When you're alone as a parent, the break is nice.
Sunday is the 19th anniversary of the day I met Rob....I think Chloe will be with him that day. I may be going out that night...I deserve it right?
Pardon any spelling mistakes!
Just one more thought....I hope to stop being so morose soon! :)

I do hear you about the numbers thing. I was never good at Math and I don't really have the dyslexia excuse to go on. When I was taking my course figuring out rates for spraying and trying to figure out areas and volumes just about killed me.But enough about Math .
Enjoy your time with your girls Margo. I really miss mine when they're not around. Gillie is going back to Oakville this weekend and Sami is in Brockville for most of the week. Mind you having the time to do stuff for myself I really do appreciate.The time that I have with them is so special,it's always quality time.
Mind you, you also have to make time for yourself. Being a Mom is all very cool but you don't want to lose your identity. I've seen a lot of women do this. I have this friend and her life was her girls now that they're grown-up enough they don't want to spend time with her and she's so lost. Of course she's got this very traditional man and he won't let her get a job. I feel so bad for her.
Have fun on your night out and try not to think of your ex.
