December Updates

Hello Everyone:

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  My Thanksgiving was nice.  My sister had the twins on Nov. 7, 2008 so I am officially an Auntie!  They are amazing, we spent Thanksgiving with them and they really needed the help.  I was up all hours of the night and at the crack of dawn feeding, changing, holding, rocking and burping babies. It was great.  The babies and mom are doing great.  She initially had a reaction to the epidural which left her with chills, severe back and neck spasms and terrible migranes but thank God all the symptoms went away after a week but initially it was rough.  Her husband (my  brother-in-law) has been amazing.  He has been there every step of the way.   

Myles and I are cool.  I feel so out of control sometime in just not knowing where we stand but being in love so deeply.  He came over the other day and he hugged me so tight and told me he was "in love" with me and he was so scared.  He told me that it just is so scary to be in this place again because the last time he felt like this he built his whole world and whole existence around this person and it ended badly.  She hurt him so badly.  They were together about 11 years.  I understand his fear because I am scared too but in a different way, scared of being without him and him being without me.  We are so perfect together and compliment each other and truly appreciate and value each other. I don’t know.  Sometimes I feel like we are in the same place we were when we fell for each other a year ago but then other days I feel like we are making progress.  I just know I love him.

Work is cool, I am now doing a dual role in College Readiness and Public Relations and my immediate supervisor is a Micro Manager (which I hate, am not used to, and don’t need) so during a side bar with the Executive Director (who I view as a Mentor) all of my frustrations came out which resulted in a big meeting and I think ended up being a good thing.  I only regret not talking to my immediate supervisor first because it could come off like I went above her head to "tell" so to speak and that was not my intent.  Anyway, my co-worker had tons of issues with Micro Manager which he had been holding in as well so it finally gave him an outlet to speak on it and she was able to respond and our Executive Director served as a mediator to let us all engage in meaningful dialog so I guess all is well that ends well.  Things have definitely been better, a little awkward at first but it is what it is.

I have said more than enough..Happy Holidays!  Thanks for Reading!
