I was writing this long post, but then I realized it really belonged under My Story. LOL! So I copied it into My Documents, and I'll finish it sometime and then post it. I was getting carried away again!
I don't have anything that profound to say this morning. Your Mayor is feeling a little befuddled with dealing with some less than honorable people yesterday.
I'm struggling with feeling angry after the band picnic last night. The other parents were great--very understanding and supportive of both Madison and me, but the band director refused to even meet my eyes or acknowledge me in any way. Hummph!! The band and color guard looked great, though. Clearly, losing Madison is not going to change the earth's orbit after all!
However, the most disturbing thing last evening was that Madison came home and told me that she ran into Mr. A at a local eatery, who was her teacher from an advanced class that she had dropped in the first week of school to STAY IN BAND, and Mr. A. asked her why she had dropped his class when she also dropped band. Apparently the band director has run and told Mr. A. that Madison dropped out of color guard and made it sound like Maddy is just a quitter. Madison is outraged, and I am absolutely astonished!
So maybe this can be our topic after all.....HOW DO WE COPE WITH OUR DISAPPOINTMENTS WITH OTHERS? We all know how to blot it out with booze. How have we dealt with it in the past?? What are better ways of dealing with it now?
Madison is planning on confronting Miss H. about discussing her situation with other teachers at school, and she is also planning on going to the guidance office with a complaint about the matter. After she has done this, I MAY follow up with an e-mail to Miss H., expressing my feelings about the situation.
Thanks for bearing with me everyone!!!
Lots of love!
Grateful for all you give me!
