Kylie now has one week of kindergarten under her belt. She did great, loves her teacher and already has a boyfriend named Trey in her class. Sophie is also doing well in her Beginners class.
The past week has been busy and I haven't taken any new photos. I hope to take some photos this week and post them.
My dad...well, it varies from day to day. I call him every day and never know how he will be feeling. Some days he feels pretty good and sounds just like my dad. Other days he is too sick to come to the phone, or even get out of bed. Today was one of those days. I called him this afternoon and my stepmom said he threw up this morning and has been sleeping ever since. It's heartbreaking, because when he sounds good I get my hopes way up...only to have them crushed when I call and he's too sick to talk. I don't know what the next few months have in store for all of us. All I can do it take it day by day, but it's hard. Please continue to keep him in your prayers.
Another issue that happened this past week was that I lost a friend. Well, someone I thought was a friend but obviously wasn't. This friend has acted like a bully and has said some hurtful things to me in the past year and a half that we've known each other. Everyone I've talked to about this situation has said it's because she's jealous of me. It's sad that she can't be happy for me, sad that she feels the need to say mean things. Friends should be happy for their friends' success, right? I've done a lot of thinking about it and I now think maybe she never was my friend. The toughest thing is that her daughter is my daughter's best friend. So far Kylie hasn't really mentioned her friend. She went to another friend's birthday party today, so that seemed to occupy her thoughts. We'll see how the next few weeks pan out. The bullying escalated at tae kwon do class last week where my "friend" had a hissy fit because she thinks the teacher spends more time with Kylie instead of her daughter. My "friend" went nuts, started yelling and screaming and causing a scene in front of the teacher and all the parents. She grabbed her daughter roughly by the sleeve and yelled "We're done!" and literally dragged her out the door. Not a good situation. And the poor instructor was almost in tears.
On a brighter note, today I had lunch with an old friend, one I hadn't seen in over 10 years. She looked me up on Facebook and we met at Brios for lunch. When I knew her she was 27 years old and a single mom. Her son was 6 at the time. She's now married, just turned 40 and her son is 17 years old. Seeing her again was a surreal, yet neat, experience. It made me realize how much I've missed her. We hope to see each other again soon.
