It's been a while since I posted on the board. Life has been busy. I have had a lot going on at work and things have been a bit discombooberated!!
I have also been spending a lot of time with the kidlet in the evenings, with my work schedule I don't see much of her. That really gets me, those work hours. I am trying to work through it (internally) and decide if what I am doing is the right thing. My work is not my program of recovery, but it is part of my recovery if that makes any sense. It is not that I necessarily want to work in recovery but that I want to work THERE, in the house that I am in. It's an ongoing quandry in my heart and mind as to if I am being selfish and harming her in the process, or if I am doing the right thing. I am under contract until March, or I pay back the money they spent to send me to school. It's going to be really hard when she starts school in a couple of weeks, because we will go back to my dropping her off at school in the morning, then working my noon to 8 shift and not seeing much of her. UGH, the thought of that really makes me sad.
On that note, please check out my blog here, I think God sent me a little sign last night that I am doing the right thing for now and that she is okay, for now. I'm listening to Him and trusting that he will let me know when this becomes the "wrong thing."
On another note:
I REALLY MISS YOU GUYS!!
Come Friday at 4:00 p.m. though, I am on vacation for 9 days!!! The kidlet's dad is coming to stay the week with us. This will be the second time we have seen him in 4 years. Last summer he came for a weekend. We talk on the phone a few times a month and things are very friendly though. I am getting a little apprehensive about a whole week though!! lol My plans, however, are to let him be the parent and I am going to go to lots of old meetings that my work schedule does not allow me to go to and just hang out. I'm also going to get some stuff done around here, hopefully painting Joei's bedroom and making it pretty in pink to!! Pink and neon green!!  I am really looking forward to the break from being the only parent and also the break from work.
Sunday we are going with her dad and two of her friends to Discovery Kingdom . It's her birthday Monday, so my parents are paying for a rental car (we got a nice lincoln towncar!) and a hotel room across the street so that we can get up in the morning and just walk over to Six Flaggs. It's not like it is really far away or anything, just about an hour in a half, but my parents always go way out for her birthday. We are going to get there early though and do the whole hotel experience and lounge by the pool, etc.
I seem to be writing a book here  , but I really wanted to convey how much I miss you all, and appreciate you.
Oh and watch out, you won't be able to get rid of me next week!!!
