Lately I have been explaining to a friend why I am not talking or association with those I had issues with. Basically the ones I talked about before. She keeps telling me I should not "burn my bridges" with them ... I have explained this to her in about 100 ways this week alone. I didn't "burn" any thing with them, the made the option. It is so annyoing, because she simply isn't getting it. One had her baby, I know because they called my house & I told her. She asked me if I wanted more info ... WTF dont' you understand? She insulted me about about working, didn't come & help me when I needed it (& I asked!) plus she told personal things to others when I asked not to. There is no friendship there, as far as I am concerned.

Work is going so well. I have been promoted. Guess those "you are always at work" comments are true -- pity cause again I have another 4 days off! I love working. I am not the fastest but I do my job. I am good at paperwork & orgazing. It's great to be back working, It's amazing to see what happens after you start going to back to work. I think I enjoy the little things more than anything.

Our manager has been on vacation for a week. So this week it has been interesting for me at the store, but we have had a great time at the store ... we did well. Little ups & downs, but for the most part I think we did well. We got the truck out, got the store straighted out plus on top of everything else ... Now all we have to do it pull do the old GC sale. It's been pretty good so far.

My favorite topics -- My kids are more interesting. They are so use to me working all the time, that when I do have days off it's a shock. But we enjoy it. They are enjoying the responsiblies they have, it is great to see them accepting it now. At first it was a bit difficult for them, but as time goes on they seem to be getting better. They have times where I believe they are sliding back. But for the most part they aren't.

My oldest two are changing hair color again. My daughter will be black with pink tips. My son will be going to blonde from straight black. It will be extremely interesting, I know bleach his hair. I am just shocked he decided to go blonde from black. My youngest two I am happy have decided they aren't into the dying of hair -- they did it once & that was it!!! (Yea for them!)

All in all, it has been a quiet time. Aside from some bouncing here & there, but all in all nice.

5 Positive Things:

* I got my pay raise

* Extra 4 days off

* My kids started their own bank accounts (YEA for them!!!!)

* I got my another promotion

* Best of all ... I get to have dinner with my husband!!! (no kids!)
