As I go on my journey that is my life, I am inclined to write about experiences or feelings, share pics, recipes, ideas, oh just whatever may pop into my cluttered brain. Feel free to read and or share if you so desire...

Here we go...

Okay, so to catch up.

Work is really crazy. My boss, who I am not a big fan of, is screwing up alot of things at work and of course I am hoping to get her job after her unfortunate demise... That means I have been busting my ass to show everyone that I can handle it! The Director has definitely noticed and keeps telling me to be patient and I will be pleasantly surprised. I have spear headed our Dementia Education program and have received alot of corporate attention for this, so I am hoping if not a promotion here in Indiana, Maybe I will get offered a better position in New York or Connecticut! Yay! I am not opposed to moving. New direction, new outlooks, always refreshing! :)

Home life has been utterly nutty as well. Colin, my autistic son is having alot of issues. He is hitting puberty and behaviors are well... exacerbated to say the least. Yelling, screaming, crying, hitting, lying.... Yea, I am in hell about now with all of this. It will get better. I have faith.

For some reason I have been dwelling on my relationship with my father which is at the very least strained and estranged! lol. I don't even like the guy right now. Haven't seen him in like 2 years and he only lives 2 hours away. He has made several trips here to Ft Wayne apparently ad has made no effort to see his grandchildren or me.... Whatever. I is hurting me right now,I haven't thought about it in a while...

Chad and I are doing great. For those of you who don't know the whole story, we have had some issues over the last few years and finally decided to reconcile fully in December. We had to face alot of hard truths (oh boy, looking at the truth starkly in the face is NOT easy.) It hurt. We both hurt for a while. With all of our cards out on the table, and information I didn't have and information he didn't have all out in the open... It was so clear. Even though we weren't happy, we knew we were before. We both dug deep and tried to find what brought us together in the first place. We found it and decided we wanted to stay together. Things are going well. :)

I have been playing like FIEND on my new laptop... I love World of Warcraft... My favorite game of all time! But,I do spend alot of time playing which means I spend less time reading and blogging! lol

Let's see, whose blog am I commenting on? (See where *I* am tonight? It's called "too TIRED"...but I'm not Angry, lonely, or hungry. 75% ain't bad.

My parents were a problem for me, until I just was told to "lighten up", Let Go and Let God. In His time, things would be sorted out...and they did get that way.

Remember, my mother told me how glad she was that I finally found AA..."but please don't tell any of our friends about this." Holy Shit!

Gotta go. Glad the hubby thing is working out. THAT'S the important one, believe ME. All else can fail, but if your home life is even HALF happy, you're way ahead of the game.

Envy you your Mac, never had one. I think that will be my next machine.

Sounds like you have quite the number of things going on right now. Wow I don't know how I would manage. At least things are sounding like they are getting better, or at least from what you wrote.
Good luck on the job, I bet you will get it :D
Hum, I am sorry about your father. I know there are times or things that can bring up painfull memories I have and no matter how long its been it will sometimes happen, however it never last long and I am reminded that I am better off with how the out come ended up.
The fact that you and your husband (I am guessing that's who chad is) where able to get through the stuggles gives me hope that I will be able to do the same if the time ever comes.

Anyways it's great to hear from you again.
