I don't care what the calendar says...fall is in the air and I'm thrilled!!! I have been down the last week with the summer cold from hell. I cannot even begin to remember when I have been that sick. I've been bedridden before but it was because of surgeries. Not a cold. Seriously!!! A COLD!!! Death would have been warmer than what this thing was. Miserable...completely miserable. I am now feeling 100% better than what I was last week at this time. Not fully recouped but good enough to go to work.
I am so glad summer is almost over. The kids go back to school next Tuesday and life returns to normal. The only bad thing about that is my hours are going to be cut back a bit. Business tends to slow down from September until January. It's odd but that happens throughout this valley. Even when I was working in restaurants business went way down in the fall and winter. I'm not really complaining though. I'm only cutting back to short days on the days my oldest has volleyball games. I don't like missing her matches so this works out not only for my boss but for me as well.
Still dealing with the teen angst. Heaven help me I'm not going to make it until she graduates. I love her dearly and she is the love of my life but sometimes her attitude just really bites sour lemons. Last night was one of those nights. I picked her up from the SD and it began. Nothing I did was good enough and when she said she wanted to know why I won't let her wear 3 inch heels I had had enough. The rest of the evening was spent with me not communicating with her at all. I chose to do my things such as laundry, dishes, cleaning my bathroom and then putting a second coat of paint on my vanity cabinet. Who do you think broke the silence? Wasn't me. I do believe I have found the way to get through this. Just don't give her the fight that she is wanting. Go about my business and keep busy. Once I say no...that's it. No arguement. I'm too old for that crap and I don't need the drama. It's going to be an interesting 4 years...LOL
I'm thinking this song has something to do with me. What do you think? ;)
