So I read in Thom Hartmann's book about criticizing other people and how to go about that when you have to do it. This one part of the book suggested prefacing your remarks with, "Well, I may be wrong about this but..."
So, last night, my son was at his dad's and didn't finish his homework there because his dad didn't check his folder. So it was a big mess at my house this morning at 6 am trying to get ready to leave for school and work AND get my 7 year old to finish his homework.
After that…

Ummm...yeah, I have no idea what 'grapevine' you might be talking about hahahahahahahahaha..... ;)
My brother is a little discouraged right now, because he thought he was going to be able to start the home dialysis (as opposed to driving an hour to the hospital for it) within 2 weeks, but then he was told 6 weeks. On top of that, he couldn't get in to the cardiologist to get his transplant clearance until the beginning of March... it looks like he's not going to be on the list before April now. I told him, it's only a couple months... but he's pretty depressed about it. He gets very "doom and gloom" - he always has, and it's really hard for me to know what to say to him. Mostly I don't say much... which isn't the best way to handle it either, I know...
Anyway, soccer is going well - well, for my older two, it's going well... for our team, we're nothing if not consistent, meaning we've yet to win a game LOL... but it's ok, we're having fun. Two more weeks for my team, cause we won't be in the playoffs - 3 more for the older two... and then I'm DONE with soccer until August!!!! Woo Hoo to having my Saturdays back!!!
I started my Coaching class last nite. It's a very basic class, nothing that would get me certified, but a great introduction to coaching in general. The instructor is great, and the class is small - 7 others besides myself. I already learned alot last nite, and I can't wait for the other classes! I really feel like this is the first step on my journey to a new career... Being in class was weird... I was so nervous I almost just didn't go in. Then, when it came to talking in front of people, I could feel my face just burning... but I survived LOL. The hardest thing for me, which sounds stupid when I say it out loud... is not knowing the answers. I feel stupid when I don't know the answer... but, DUH... why would I be taking a class if I already knew all the answers? I keep reminding myself of that. The craziest thing is, and I have never done this before, I actually TOLD everyone there that I have ADD! I had said that I was taking the class because I wanted to be an ADHD coach, and someone asked why I chose that... so I told them :) Somewhat liberating, in a weird way. Maybe I am finally getting to the point where I'm comfortable with who I am, and not caring who knows.... though, I still haven't told my parents :(
Anyway... that's about all the news here... Enjoy your um... busyness hahahaha! I think it's very cool by the way. And that's all I'm saying on that :)
Talk to you soon!
