This has been a difficult week.
Problems with the GirlChild. I was trying to quit smoking (I made it 11 days before I had a setback-will try again next week). I was very discouraged about my workouts and my foot injuries.
Friday morning I didn’t get in any hurry to get to work. I had looked at my calendar and I didn’t have any appointments scheduled until the afternoon. While I was brushing my teeth, I got a call from my office. I had a client there for an appointment that was suppose to start 15 minutes earlier.
I remembered talking to this woman. I remembered making her an appointment. I remembered writing it in my book. But it wasn’t there. In any event, I hauled ass to work, apologized profusely when I got there and she hired me.
Yesterday afternoon, while looking at my calendar to see what next week looks like, I notice that particular woman’s appointment for NEXT Friday. I’m still not sure if I wrote it on the wrong date (I almost always say, “I’ve got you down for May 12, 20010 at 10:30 a.m.”), or if she showed up a week early. In either event, it made me feel better because I thought my memory was leaving me completely.

LOL. You crack me up. You can quit smoking and I have faith in you. I used to wonder what all those people did for stress that don’t smoke? It was the 45 minute commute to work one way everyday that about killed me with no smokes. I have been smoke free for 11 years now. My son put me on a total guilt trip and I will be forever thankful.
Hope things w/girlchild will get better or can possibly learn to adjust to her world so that you can be proactive instead of reactive and vise versa for her as well. I am just in awe of the diligence that you take to care for her. I am sure that she needs strict discipline and rules at all times to keep her on track and consequences. What an awesome Mother you have become. Hope your Mother’s day was peaceful.
