Oh My Gosh! I'm Back!

I know you can't believe it. It's a new post. Wow! I've risen from the dead. Okay, so things have been a little crazy lately. Between work and work and home and the kids and well work.

I've been contemplating work changes lately and that has been very time consuming. Trying to analyze which move is the best and weighing all of my options against the risk associated with a change.

I think I finally worked things out. I cannot post all of the details just yet but come Monday I will. I don't think anyone reads my blogs online but I have to be careful.

So.... Mackenzie started school on Monday. I just adore her teacher. Her name is Mrs. Hightower. She taught 1st grade last year and all of the students in her class this year had her last year too. All of the parents requested her b/c she's so good. She has her old friend Kendal in her class. She's excited about that.

Guess what? Her teacher went to the University of Southwest GA or whatever it's called. It used to be called something that the acronym sounded out Sewage. I use to hear that from my dad. My uncle David went there. When I read where she went to college on her little info sheet I asked her where she is from. She said NW GA and I asked what part and then she said near Carrollton and Cedartown. She didn't think I'd heard of Cedartown but boy did I. I told her that I had family there and in Rockmart, Rome and Summerville. She graduated from Rockmart High School. I wonder if that's where Tara went. She said Tara's name sounded very familiar.

I told her I spent Thanksgivings at my great-aunts house by the Goodyear plant. Her father-in-law retired from there. It's such a small world.

Mackenzie is real sick now. She hadn't been feeling well all week but we went to the Dr. on Friday and she has an ear infection. She has the worst green snot and the runs. It's sad. Well... I gotta run now. I'm putting fake fingernails on her. She's been wanting to do that and since she is sick I'm treating her.

It's Been A While

I know it's been a while since my last post. I have to say that post looks so dark and moody looking back. It was just how I was feeling at the time. I know things are going to work out and be okay in the long run. I was just feeling so overwhelmed and continue to feel so but it's much better. I think I was going through a depression period. I've been seeing a psychologist and he's great.

We haven't focused on anything yet but it's just been more or less time for me to get out all of my frustrations and talk it over with someone. I cannot tell you how great it has been. It has truly helped. I took this 5xx question test to help him determine some things about me and it was so funny b/c you could tell the questions that were for the paranoid skitzos, etc. From my answers he was pretty on target with me. There were a few things that didn't go w/ me but overall it was an accurate picture. The day we went over the results Jana had an appt. at 3:15 shortly after mine began w/ another person. She came in for a little bit on the session and it helped give him insight to me and what I had been saying about myself.

It turned out to be a good thing b/c later Jana went to see him. He has helped her out so much too. I am very sad though. Jana is moving back to Montgomery. I know she'll still come down a lot and they still have the house here but I have to admit I'm sad. I felt like last night was our last supper in a way. No more just calling her up or her calling me and us grabbing dinner together or watching Grey's. I know we'll talk on the phone a lot more than we do now. It's just knowing that she's not so close.

Mackenzie is at my parents house this week. I'm going up there this weekend to see their new house and to get her. I am sooooo excited about seeing everyone. It's been a long time. Well April I guess.

I better run. work is a calling, literally.
