Would love to say that I have been busy being over worked and haven't had any spare time, but that would be a lie. Truth be told, I went back into my shell for a while. Self preservation at it's finest. I have no idea why I do that but fighting like hell to stop it.
My kids are kids. One day they are doing great and the next you would think they were in the mos miserable of lives. They want to be only children, why did we have to have more than one of them and on and on.
They adopted a chicken a few months ago. A real live chicken came to our door every day for a week. I came home to find them outside playing with the chicken and everyone in the house was asleep. I moved the chicken to the backyard, at least I know they are safe back there.
The chicken, Lily, thinks she is a dog. She comes when called. Lives in the dog kennel during bad weather and for sleeping. Pecks at the sliding glass door when she wants attention and jumps in your lap when she wants to be held and loved. Somehow this family always ends up with the strangest pets.
I have come to realize that while I don't like the way people act or the double standards at my work, I do like what I do and I am good at it. Took awhile to adjust to it, especially having so many bosses after not having any but myself and my husband for so many years. It helps my overall mental health to realize this. It's also helped me realize that if this job disappears tomorrow another will come along and I will be fine. It's a really nice feeling to know that no matter what happens, I will be okay.
