Hello, I am Sami and welcome to my blog. For a few weeks now, I have been feeling some really big "growth spurts" inside of me. I am 30 something wife, mom/stepmom who has always put her children first. As of this year one of our sons will become an adult, two of our children will become teens and one will become a preteen. While I will continue to make my children a priority I must put my husband and our marriage first. I will also focus on bringing the woman within me out. I look forward to this new chapter in my life in order to watch our children grow into responsible adults, to love and cherish my husband and to be the beautiful, confident woman God created. Please join me in my journey and always feel free to comment, offer advise, or just say hello!
Hi Sami .. good to be back from Africa and love your site
As you know I do most of my blogging at work. Well today I got hammered the moment I walked into the door at about 8:10AM and it didn't let up until I left at 8:15PM!! I can count on one hand how many times I have stayed at work that late - I rarely do it. But since today was my last day before vacation and that I am kind of *picky* about how my job is done I stayed until I had everything perfect before I left. I know I am going to have to go back to a mess after being gone for a week but at least I won't have anything left over from before I left.
I have an update on the boxes that were thrown away but first an update on Jaxon. Jaxon is not doing well at all. His family has requested many, many, many prayers. First off his body is filling up with fluid in which the doctors think the new liver is not working. They have put him on dialysis in hopes that will remove the excess fluid. Secondly they have taken him off all of the pain medication and he is not waking up. If he is not awake and alert by tomorrow they will put him on a 1A urgent status for another liver transplant. Remember folks we are talking about a 3 year old little boy. Two liver transplants in a week has got to be too much on his little body. And his poor parents....can you imagine what they are going through? Right now he is in critical condition and if he doesn't wake up tomorrow all they can do is wait until a liver becomes available. And with him being in critical condition and waiting on a liver gives him a small chance of survival. So please pray! He is the cutest little boy with the bluest eyes.
My boss returned to work and was just blown away that someone threw away our boxes. She called her boss who happened to be off today and he suggested we call the vendor and tell him we couldn't find the boxes and to see what his thoughts were about it. So we did that. I felt like such a heal because we know where the boxes are but they are making us act like we don't have a clue. The guy is going to come out Monday and walk the building with my boss to see if he can find them. I think about ALL the time that has been wasted of us all looking for these boxes that are long gone at a dump somewhere by now. Now they are going to have a guy come out and waste his time when they know he will never find them. And it is pretty rotten of the guy who threw the boxes away to not come clean and just admit he did it. I will be curious to see how it all ends up. My company needs to buy the vendor the equipment but I am sure they will try to find some way to pin it on the vendor to rebuy them themselves. It is all incredibly dishonest.
Mike is digging himself into a bigger whole. He now has 3 D's and 2 F's. One of the F's he has he only has 17% in the class. It is ridiculous. He has also had 8 tardies the past 2 weeks. He earned himself a lunch detention in which he didn't show up for so he got an after school detention. My husband and Mike's mom really aren't doing much about it. They both are expecting him to learn from his mistakes. I guess maybe it is because I am so involved with Hylari's school but I would be totally embarassed if my child had grades like that and disciplinary problems. I guess it is because I spend alot of time with teachers and school administrators that I know they do not like it when parents leave all the discplinary on them. I happen to work with a guy that has a son that Mike is friends with. I was talking to him today and he said his son is acting the same way Mike is. The guy told me he is just going to let his son graduate and learn from his mistakes. I don't know why I want to do more. However, I do know any effort we put into it Mike totally ignores and does the opposite so you wonder why you bother. But then again I see things on TV where kids go wrong and I ALWAYS wonder where the parent was and why didn't they do more? I don't know. It is all new to us and we just do not have the answers. I don't want to let him fail but he really leaves us no choice when he won't listen.
Well I am going to go officially start my vacation. I will stay in touch from home this week.
