So, this last few weeks have been full of all sorts of changes in our lives...Stephen has had major back surgery (which he is doing great with) I got a new position at work. I'm a lead (sounds important, but today is my 3rd day and I am not really feeling the importance yet) with the new position comes more responsibility, I know this and I am sure I can handle it, but being that I am pretty much still the new girl on the block, not everyone is grasping the idea that i am a lead now. There is this one lady here that no matter how nice I try to be she still looks at me like I am a patch of chewed gum stuck to the bottom of her shoe. (I feel like she is that annoyed with me all the time) I thank God I only have to work with her one day of the week, but it makes the whole day just drag ever so slowly. I know I didn't come to work to make friends, I came here to work. making friends was just an added bonus. but I don't know how to make her feel better about me being here. The up side to all of this is that with the new position I got to move to days instead of nights. I did have to change to working weekends, but I am home by 6:30 pm every night and I think that will be a great change for my girls to have their mom back at home with them in the evenings. (they miss me so I'm told) :) well that is enough of my ranting, for now. Have a great day.
I tried to warn you that I had so much to tell you... So We have been spending so much time at the hospital with my dad. I mean we were all there for several days (now we are taking turns-he's doing well and we had to go back to work). And you know how it is everyone brings something to keep them busy so that they can ward off boredom. Well Val had been using one of those round loom things that you can knit hats and such. She had made herself one and while there her knitting caught the attention of one of my nieces (Katie) and she wanted to know how to make one for herself. So Val being excited to show someone sat down with her and gave her the loom and some yarn and helped her along. That girl made her whole hat. She loves it and wears it everywhere already. Before we knew it Haleigh was in on learning to make hats. They were having such a good time knitting away while visiting with their papa and all his company. ...
Just kill the lady with kindness. Bring her some eggs one day with a note telling her to have a nice day. if all else fails, just ignore her. congrats on the new job!!! I am proud of you. Love, Sarah bridgeman
