most of the people i work with are gone to a conference in winnipeg, leaving me to fend for myself. i like being alone but not crazy about being the filtered down contact to man the phones and email for all who are not here. not crazy that i have to work part of friday or even thursday for that matter, c'est la vie. just means i get a few days off next week.
so my 14 year-old with too many boys crazy about her is having some problems. her "boyfriend" (i have tried my best to get her to not use that status and the rest of the story tells you why) has jealousy and anger issues. he has worked on his stuff over the last year but my daughter is very pretty and gets alot of attention. this leads bf to want to beat up other boys, makes him withdrawn and not go to school or sports practice. his coach approached my daughter yesterday and asked her what is going on with him as he has not been showing up. this kind of stuff takes me back to my relationship with my kid's dad, who was so jealous i could not even talk to my room mates bf. of course it was all my fault for having a personality and enjoying being social. i like this boy very much and am troubled that he feels this way and it is really affecting his life. i suggested that the two of them go to the school counsellor to try to talk about things. is that good advice? i don't know. i want to talk to him myself but not sure if i will say anything he wants to hear. her last bf was the same way. crying when they broke up, what a mess. yes, she is only 14, i realize that is young and that is why i have strongly encouraged her to not have bf/gf status with anyone, it just messes with all these raging hormones.
why else am i all nervousy?
doing my second public play scene tonight amongst mixed co. I am comfortable and used to being in all women space, not so much in the mixed. the scene is edgy for me in that it will involve restraints. i have enlisted the support of a new friend who i think is most pleased to be there for me. i do trust my bear also which helps. still, the butterflies persist.
so much to do before i go away. Gah! waxing, i need to get waxed before i go (just remembered). would that be a good pain scene? it actually does play out much that way when i go to the salon, with me wriggling and yelping a little on the massage table. i swear my esthetician enjoys it.
allright, back to regular programming. focus and breathe.....
