My sometimes coherent thoughts

Grin and bear it ....

Is it any surprise that I survived the day? Chantelle
crying all the way to school, miserable as hell at having
to start 7th grade without all her friends ... me heading
off to the grand uncertaintity of my job ...

Well, long story short because I'm too tired to write it
all down ... I have until the 13th to see if it's at all
possible to turn things around the way my boss thinks they
should be ... bottom line is if her perception is what it
is, CAN IT BE CHANGED? Who knows ... so while I'm trying
to turn things around, I will search for a job just to
cover my ass ...

Chantelle made it through her first day, but hated every
minute of it. 'Turns out EVERYONE IS SO FREAKIN' RUDE, THE
THE MAJORITY OF STUDENTS ARE HISPANIC, NOBODY IS NICE TO
SOMEONE WHO'S NEW ... SHE HUNG OUT IN THE BATHROOM ON LUNCH
AND NUTRITION BECAUSE SHE HAD NOTHING ELSE TO DO ... THE
SCHOOL IS SO HUGE AND HER CLASSES ARE FAR APART AND SHE HAD
NO IDEA WHERE SHE WAS GOING ACCEPT TO HOME ROOM THIS
MORNING ... SHE CONTEMPLATED DITCHING BUT THOUGHT BETTER OF
IT BECAUSE SHE FIGURED IF SHE DID THAT THEN I WOULD NEVER
THINK ABOUT LETTING HER GO BACK TO MILLIKAN ...

I've told her that since I'm on probation until the 13th to
just hang in there until then and I'll see what I can do if
she's still as miserable as she is now, but that I can't
make any promises.

well, that's enough for now ... I'm tired and have to go
see what Chantelle's up to since it's been nearly 20
minutes since I told her to go brush her teeth and get her
clothes out for tomorrow and I haven't heard a word from
her since then ...

God grant me and Chantelle the courage and strength to get
through the next couple weeks - a minute at time if
necessary. Thank you and amen

ciao for now
