Sunshine... with a few clouds

Hey, Amanda.

It’s okay to be upset when you’re trying so hard to do right by JJ…but it’s a little difficult to respond in writing. This would be a great topic for us to discuss on the phone. That way I can ask a few questions and do my best to be a supportive friend and an objective teacher. Maybe over the weekend?....


S has her birthday party this weekend but I am going to see her today, her actual birthday, so I think I will pass on the party. I have done that in the past. I get to spend time with her this way; at her party she will play with the kids and I won’t get any one-on-one time. I’ll put the feelers out tonight when I’m there. If L needs me to help out, then I’ll probably go. I’ll let you know for sure so maybe we can plan a phone call.

I’m looking forward to our princess pedicures this afternoon. I can already imagine the look on her face when I pick her up at school with a Mylar birthday balloon. I’m such a dork, I even took extra time to wear a top five outfit and wear my hair down. I want the kids at school to see S’s fancy aunt pick her up; I want her to be proud. Not sure where we’re going for dinner, but I’m sure it will be fun.

Unlike tomorrow…and the waiting that will follow until my Dad gets his results.

Hope you are having a good week.

Love You,
Barb
