I’m super grumpy sad. Like spent time screaming and crying in the car when I was driving alone (and actually feel better). It’s a combination of me not being happy about where my youngest is going to K next year, feeling fat despite doing a lot of work on working out/managing food, Maycember (which feels like it is starting in April), and a meeting this AM where I just had to listen to a member of leadership complain how bad everything was and wasn’t I fixing it.
I have a very nice life, and am lucky in every way, but like the grumpy monkey I just feel like being grumpy for a bit.
My third grader is struggling this year. I’ve posted that he tends to have a bad attitude in sports, which I’m hoping he will outgrow and we are stepping back from the more triggering ones. Wellll today was the third grade musical. He had a medium part. Not one of the leads but he had stuff to do. Afterwards he was visibly grumpy. When asked why he said it’s because his role wasn’t important.
Obviously he shouldn’t expect or require getting a lead in every production. Which we have told them. And we have pointed out how well he did. And we have made him go and graciously congratulate his friend who had the lead on a great performance.
But I don’t know how we help him reframe his attitude. He should have had fun today – it was a fun musical and he actually got one of the biggest laughs! Instead he walked off unhappy and dissatisfied. His older sister is in therapy for her anxiety – is this a therapy thing? I almost feel like he needs a coach more than a therapist. Our coaching doesn’t seem to be working.
I somewhat rashly promised my kids a breakfast picnic tomorrow if they will get in the car at the crack of dawn. What would you pack? I’m hoping I can avoid a trip to the store…
Birthday win report! My 10yo daughter had her party last night. She wanted laser tag, and we found a place that hosted a party for ten kids with pizza and unlimited laser tag, plus $5 arcade cards for each kid, for $230 if you had it on a Thursday. It was the easiest birthday I have ever hosted and she was VIBRATING with happiness the entire time.
It is so funny how differently kids are turn out from us. That type of birthday would have been my absolute nightmare as a kid.
My company is firing people left and right with no notice. My performance hasn’t been great lately, and I’m concerned for my job stability.
I could very likely get my old job back at a different company, but for several reasons I would prefer not to for at least a year or two.
What would you do? On the one hand, I don’t want to be told one day soon that it’s my last day, and I find myself unemployed. At the same time, I don’t want to reach out to my old job prematurely because my preference is to stay at my current role until next fall.
