Marsh Landing...Enough Said!

So, I survived my field trip with Samantha.  After stressing out on what to wear, I went with something more casual.  I wanted to wear a sundress, but she made a "big" deal about how I over-dress for everything!  So, I looked "normal."  So, I showed up to school and went to her classroom.  Her teacher greeted all the parents...except for me.  I think someone told her I don't approve of her lifestyle.  She didn't even acknowledge my presence!  Oh, well!  So needless to say I felt a "little" uncomfortable!  We loaded up on the yellow dog and headed to Fellsmere.  We got seated (I got seated with the "bad" kids...which I kept in check with no prob!) at the long picnic table with dead animals hanging over our heads.  Nice!  Anyway we had a spread of alligator tail, frog legs, chicken, catfish, french fries, cole slaw and mac and cheese.  Disgusting! Everything tasted like fish and the alligator tail was so tough i couldn't even chew it.  Then we took a tour of Marsh Landing  to see more dead animals on the walls. http://www.marshlandingrestaurant.com/index.html



  Then back to the yellow dog and back to school.  I was home by 1:00 p.m.  I thought Samantha was thankful for me going with her till this a.m.  She proceeded to tell me how all of the other parents stayed for a presentation of their projects on animals.  That's funny, because some of the parents left when I did.  She doesn't appreciate anything I do for her.  I had only 2 days off and spent one going with her.  She told me yesterday she didn't even do her presentation.  When I brought it up this a.m. she said she didn't get to do hers because I didn't stay.  I think I've been around more that her mother has..so why is it never enough??  Maybe I just won't do that again!  So much for trying to be nice!
Yesterday I decided to go get a pedi...which was much needed!  It was so relaxing I almost fell asleep.  I got a dark blue and Samantha got purple.  It's a color I've never tried before...but it looks pretty cute.  Pics to come!
Tonight I work at St Lucie West.  Hope I have a good night!  It should be a nice break from my usual routine.  Ash called me last night griping about Crystal.  How do we send people home all weekend and she calls people in?  Crazy how that works!  If she would take a few more tx's we wouldn't be over budget from calling people in when not needed.  No wonder we don't get raises!  We are paying people call pay to come in so Crystal doesn't have to work!  I've talked to Karen, but seem to get blown off!  The staff needs to rally together and get this taken care of!  There is nothing else I can do.  I'm over it!  I just feel sorry for my staff.  I'm lucky because I don't really have to work with her anymore.  We think totally different.  We see nothing eye to eye.
So this is my 2nd day of trying to be more aware of my "picking" problem.  I've been trying to be more aware...so far i think I'm doing pretty good.  God, please help me through this!  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!
Well, gotta run for now!  I've got laundry, house cleaning, taking care of the dogs etc. to do.  God will I ever get any help???  P.S. My husband wants to add a baby on top of all this?  Really??   Unless he starts contributing..that may not be happening.  I'm 120% over loaded right now.  Now I've picked up a dog and taking Samantha to school...but I'm not bitching or anything!  Ha! Ha!
So long for now!
