We were messing around taking pictures about two weeks ago and one of the kids took this one. I think it was Kendra since the two of us are most likely to be talking lovey-dovey to one another :)
And am I imagining it or are my eyes happy here?
Normally I have fantastic weekends - I cook/ organise, do projects, play with the kids, read a lot and totally forget about work til Sunday night.
Last weekend we had friends over that we hadn't seen for 7 months so I had to tell them the whole sorry story plus other work things I haven't said on the blog. So of course, that night I had a bad work dream.
Aside - I never remember dreams and I don't think I've dreamt about work more than a couple of times over the last 18 years.
Then on Saturday we met Laura for lunch, and she asked if she was allowed to ask about "the dreaded W" and I said no but I gave her a quick round-up. Again, bad work dreams on Saturday night.
Sunday was no talking about work but I knew I had a meeting with him on Tuesday so I prepared for that (about an hour - isn't this mad?) in the afternoon which started the Sunday Night Dread.
I had a very open and really insightful meeting with ex-boss on Tues. Long story short, she told me to take back my power :)
Three of you knew about a meeting I had on Friday. I was so anxious my stomach was in knots (this is not me at all) so I asked you to pray. Thank you so much for that - the meeting was about 70% successful thanks to the two hours' prep I had to do. I didn't cry (YAY!) and I was mostly able to remain logical and coherent.
This weekend I was determined to not even think about it. It worked and we've had a great weekend.
If you're still praying, please pray for me to keep my mouth shut about everything, even "small talk". I'm an extrovert and it's really, really hard for me.
Thank you friends!
So tell me about something fun you did on the weekend.
PS Connor and I did a photo walk which was, seriously, all kinds of fun. He even made me walk all the way down one street just to take a photo of a lamp post :)
