So, I've decided to use this journal for good instead of evil. I am going to make daily lists of positive things about Hannah--qualities, things she's done recently, etc. Instead of talking shit all the time. So, that's my plan.
Today's list:
-I think it's admirable that she calls her mom and her grandmother daily. Often more than once a day. I'd say her grandmother, Cathy, is her best friend. Sometimes her mom doesn't answer/call back for a few days, but Hannah still tries to call her.
-Hannah started a job as a bagger at Kroger last week (her spring break). She had training Monday and Tuesday 4-9 and then worked Friday night and Saturday and Sunday mornings. I am proud of her for going to school this morning. She was complaining about how tired she was, so I was thinking she might con her dad into letting her stay home and veg out all day, but she sucked it up and went to school.
I think that's all I've got for today, I went to work and she just got home from school, so we haven't been around each other much today. It was hard for me not to add little negative caveats to each of those, but I resisted. I've noticed that I kind of have her under a microscope and I let every little thing she does bother me and spike my blood pressure. That's not healthy for me or her. I'm hoping that by focusing on and highlighting some positive Hannah-things I can see her in a more positive light and help her see herself in a more positive light.
I leave for school in about an hour. We're getting our last test back in A&P II. I'm hoping that I made a higher grade on this test than the last one.
