Hawt or Hot....which is applicable here?

I know, I said I would write at least once a week, but ya know. This heat is just taking it out of me. Our office has been so hot, that by the time I get home I am just drained. Is it hot where you are? Let me just say this, not only is it hot, it is FRIGGIN hot!!! I just feel blah...oh, and when I get home, I have to run a kid somewhere 90% of the time. Argh! Well...she is with a friend at their lake house this weekend (no, not like the Sandra Bullock one) so I have a few minutes to gather my thoughts and type up a storm.

Work has been going good but there are changes coming in the office that many are not happy about. I will be pretty happy because nothing is really changing for me, but others are not. I hate being in that situation where you know things are going to be bad for others but not yourself. It feels sort of uncomfortable right now and it will be for the next month and a half at least. I am just going to try to go to work, do my job, and stay out of everything else. In this situation it will be better for me to do so. I try to act like nothing has changed and nothing will change. Nuff said about that. My younger son has a new job and he is working like a dang dog. When school starts back I hope they cut his hours some because he has been working like 50 hours a week, and although he loves the money, he is really tired. That's not going to work when he heads back to school. He does attend college here locally, so I am sure that since he is such a hard worker they will want to keep him on. Daughter is gearing up for the start up of school, and since she made the volleyball team this year at her middle school, it should be pretty exciting for her. She is also in band and play trumpet. My pocket book is really hurting since we have turned in her elcheapo student trumpet and bought her her very own professional trumpet which set me back $1700 bucks. She had her choice between a $900 and $1000 trumpet, but damnit, that stuped $1700 trumpet sounded so much better. It's a Stomvi Elite and everyone agrees it was well worth the money. If any of you out there play trumpet, let me know what you think. It does sound VERY good, but ouch. That really hurt.

Also, daughter has been going through a little hard time with one of her friends. I may have mentioned this before as she has been going through this off an on with the same friend since around Christmas. I don't feel like going through my history on this thing to see if I am rehashing, but who knows. Here goes. See...this girl and my daughter have been very good friends for a couple of years. They have mutual friends too and they usually all hang out together (they are all 13). Anyways, this one girl has changed in the last few months and has basically turned on my daughter. She has ignored her, talked about her behind her back, etc. I think the icing on the cake came the other day when she invited a bunch of kids to a movie and then got online and instant messaged my daughter to tell her about it and then proceeded to tell my daughter that she TOTALLY forgot to invite her. Then went on and told her that she just "totally didn't even think about her." This really did hurt my daughter's feelings because she had really been trying to heal whatever it was that was causing the weird feelings, but after that, I think she gave up. What is wrong with this girl? I think she may be jealous, but I don't know. They all hang out in a pretty popular crowd, so I think she may be trying to push her out. I dunno, but it sure hurts to sit back and watch someone hurt your child like that. She is handling it well and just does stuff with other kids she knows. This seems to make things worse between my daughter and this girl, because I think she wants my daughter to be miserable. Which may be impossible because my daughter is the pretty girl with the big smile who likes everyone and has tons of friends. I think it may take more than that to make her miserable.

Oh well. Sorry if that is a rehashed story, but it has been bothering me lately. Daughter will take the higher ground and be nice, but I don't think she will go out of her way to invite this girl to anything special anymore. What do you think? What's up with this little...ummm...girl?

Wowweeee!

Man, has it ever been a long time since I have written in this thing. There is so much to tell and I don't even know where to start. I guess I can start off by saying the job is going well and I have been working more hours. And, although it's suppose to be the lazy, hazy days of summer, our days have been anything but lazy. Our days have been BUSY. I know that is a lame excuse, and I am not sure if anyone even reads this stuff anymore, but I am going to try with all my might to hit this thing at least once a week.

Have a happy 4th!
