Ready to collapse into spring
December has been the most emotionally draining month I have ever had. Every down had an up, and every up brought me down. I laughed, cried, yelled, smiled, partied, and gasped in utter disbelief. I've made progress, stalled and procrastinated.
I am exhausted and one of the few people that are thrilled that it is January. My escrow date has now been moved several times and is currently set for the 31st of January. We have determined the roof will be on, the creek doesn't flood, and we may even have a little money left over for furniture.
David and I fight and ignore our problems more than anyone I know. He's livid that I go out with my friends. I'm apathetic to it at this point. Too many other things going on. We're currently in a custody battle over the dog. The perfect puppy that we got for Peyton. He demands to keep her, because his friend found her for us. There have also been battles over the Bed my mother paid for and the kitchen stuff I bought. He seems so offended that because I purchased it for our house... I still think it belongs to me. I didn't know everything should be split evenly... I'm waiting for the request to pay alimony at this point.
Peyton has made huge strides lately. Both good and bad. She hasn't had a daytime accident in almost a month. Came home from school one day in the same clothes I dropper her off in, then it was 3 days in a row. Then a successful weekend. and now we haven't had an accident. :) As promised, Disneyland is planned!! I don't know who's most excited about this. Peyton, Momma, Grandma, Aunt Char, Great Grandma Greta, or Grand Papa Joe - yes the old man is joining us!
She has also learned the art of the terrible three tantrum. Full thrashing, pushing, screaming, stomping tantrum. I know she'll grow out of them, but for goodness sakes... that girl can produce quite a fit. I want to tape them, just a little.
Work is a whole new roller coaster, but we're on the up swing now. New boss lady is really gung-ho for making changes and creating a better club. Especially if it will make our lives easier. We've lost some really brilliant minds on our team in the past month, but so goes the corporate battlefield.
This is my recap of the past month. The end of the year and just some thoughts. It will help me focus for the coming months. Resolutions make very little sense to me. Why only set goals once each year? Why set huge goals each year? Why exhaust yourself at the very start? Seems like a bit of nonsense.
