No More Drama

Yep, i finally did it...I'm posting at home, LOL ; The beauty of all that is I'm finally positng and feeling little to no anger and some relief when it comes to recent events....I haven't spoke to my mom in two days...and I have no real intentions to talk to her other than when I drop off/pick up TinMan tomorrow. I've all but said its my way I'm not arguing and thats it. I've had a short and vague talk with TinMan and explained my position and he explained his.....he likes it here (our house), loves Wizard and the kids...the 'problem' is that he's not connecting with the kids at school...the good part is that he really doesn't care, feels that some of them aren't worthy of his friendship because they're rude and mean....then 'bad' is that he's not willing to open himself up to friendships...he has one friend and this kid is a good kid and good friend but I'd like to see TinMan branch out a little more...I know, I know, give him time but its hard! I know he'll be fine but my heart still broke when he told me that kids were calling him shorty and gay...not sure about the gay part but whatever. I asked if it were a problem and he said no. I asked about the guys from the football team and he said most are nice but there are a few that act like he doesn't exist when he talks to them....high school never changes.....just hurts more when its my kid :

At home its been a great weekend, we've had nothing to do so Saturday I took Lion to spend her gift cards, we had lunch and then the whole family went bowling :) It was a blast, all the kids had fun, including Munchkin. I helped him bowl but left my camera at home...grrrr. There were some really great moments too. TinMan and Wizard were within 4 points of each other...Wizard won. Then we hung out at home and one of our neighbors came over with her daughter, she is Munchkin's age and boy oh boy do they love each other! They are so cute and have so much fun. Wizard played with the big kids and C and I played with the wee ones and had a glass of wine ;) It was a nice evening. My original plan was to meet the girls out but I decided to stay home...how things change ;)

Today was take down the tree day....mostly done. The tree in the family room is down but now I have the giant tree left, all the decorations are put away which is a relief and the house is feeling 'normal' again. I'm looking forward to tomorrow night and spending time with friends out, it'll be fun.

This year has been a year of change for me all good, some changes harder to deal with than others but all of them good. I'm looking forward to 2008 being a year of growth and accomplishments....Happy New Year!
