Lesson

I've learned a lesson the hard way...which sadly seems to be the only way I ever learn lessons...live & learn though, right?

I'm not going to get into details but I recently got myself caught up in a situation with someone from my past and it has blown up in my face. Here's what I've learned: leave the past in the past. I hate to quote Dr Phil but he is so right when he says that the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. Enough said.

I spent most of yesterday crying & just feeling so awful about myself. I feel like I will never meet anyone that will treat me well, sometimes I feel like I don't even deserve to be treated well and I should just take what I can get. I know, I know, that is the wrong way to think but it's how I feel right now. I just feel so alone and although I'm not the kind of person who needs someone around me 24/7, it would be nice to have someone that cares about me.

And yes, I would like some cheese with my whine. :) At least I can joke about it.

On the positive side, I did get to talk to Amy yesterday and that was always fun. Amy & her family are getting settled in to their new house and I cannot wait to see it, I saw a few pictures before they moved in and it looked beautiful. I'm dying to see their backyard, Amy has described it as an "oasis". Amy, you always crack me up. :)

I also got to talk with Kari and that is always enjoyable as well. I heard Kurtis in the background and I can't believe how much more verbal he is getting, I could hear him just chattering away. Kari said that he's saying all kinds of things...my favorite so far is how he says "sock"...I'll leave it to your imagination, but let's just say that Kari & John try to keep him from saying this word in public. Too cute.

I also went to JcPenney yesterday and bought 3 more tops for work, they were all 30% off and I think I now have more than enough tops to mix & match with the pants that I have. I have to say that I kind of like dressing up more for work, it makes me feel a little more professional & better about myself.

So, thank you once again for reading my sob story...I'm still a major work in progress.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
