Betrayed Confidences

I made it! Day 6 of 6 has been completed. My work week is over! Honestly, today was a pretty easy day that went by very quickly. Even though a lot was going on, I wasn't too worried about it being a challenging day. I can facilitate bra certification in my sleep, our LP audit went off without a hitch, and the 4 hours I was on the floor was spent observing the new merchandising manager in the fitting room. She did well.

I'm still up in the air about how I feel about her. I want to like her, but I still have a suspicious feeling that she'll throw somebody under the bus if the need arises. I'm leery of putting my trust in someone who has already betrayed confidences after only being with the company less than two weeks. I'm going to remain cautious. My desire is that she figures out her best interest is to become one with our team and realize that we're all in this together. There's no need to be cut-throat.

Tonight for dinner we made pho. It was good, for about 3 bites, and then the rice noodles we used absorbed all the broth and turned into thick, slimy worms. Ew. It wasn't just me who was disappointed. We all were. Thank goodness I didn't add the noodles to the broth like I'd considered doing. So now I've got a lovely soup with Asian veggies and spices. It'll be great even without noodles.

Tomorrow I'm taking the kids school shopping (and then to the little kids' open house). I'm not excited about them going back to school, but I love school shopping for them. I really enjoy buying them things. I work hard so that my children can have good lives, this is what I live for. I want them to have all the things I didn't have at their age. I want them to feel valued and important. I know you can't replace love with material things, but I'm fairly certain they know I love them deeply. So, buying things is purely for my enjoyment. I can't wait to see them in their crisp new uniforms. Too cute!
