Fantastic February

Another month down. What's going on in your world?

[freezorburn]

I started a part-time job last month. Working the floral counter at my neighborhood supermarket. I love it. I'm busy all the time and I get to work with flowers and make people happy. It's not financially viable long-term, but for now it helps provide some much-needed routine and structure to our weeks, and it gets me out dealing with people again. And once I'm settled in to the new schedule, hopefully I can start to carve out time for side projects and networking. I think it's a perfect stepping-stone situation for getting back to my regular career.

DS has been having potty accidents, after half a year of no problems at all. It's always something! But he seems happy and his therapy has been going well. This morning when he got up, he was singing "Everything is Awesome" from the Lego Movie. He's damn cute right now, and I'm enjoying it alot.

I'm glad things are going well, freezorburn!

DD and I are chugging along. She has sort of started potty training in that she goes through phases of wanting to sit and/or successfully use the potty. She's growing more into this awesome little person and I love it. Things are also going well with the BF, and DD likes him too.

I've got an interview in a couple weeks for a teaching position that is with the local school system I grew up in. I'm really hoping it works out, I'm currently waiting on word about my application for a teaching license that the same district sent in for me.

Sure, this is a relatively safe place to vent. It tends to be pretty quiet but those of us who check in regularly are supportive. 

I tend to be paranoid that an IRL person might find my vents and use them against me, but as long as access to your computer and other devices is pretty secure, there's probably not much to worry about.

I'm sorry about an idiot ex, hbrockman01. I don't mind you venting here but I can't speak for the board. I will say that you can also make your own thread- I definitely have one of those and it really felt good to have a space to talk things out.

I'm just frustrated about him putting crap about our divorce on FACEBOOK... he's just grating on my last nerve...

That is frustrating and I'm sorry. One thing I learned here was to just document things even if they may not seem that big. That's along the lines of what freezorburn was talking about this being a safe place. Your ex is venting in a place where you potentially have access to be able to document what was said by him to use against him if needed.

This. Take screenshots of stuff if you think it would help you later.

But ... also try not to obsess too much over it. You need to pick your battles and do what is best for you.

Happy Valentines Day, ladies! Be kind to yourselves today.
