COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

Do you talk about how to better manage your finances ?

This is the finance committee for for a school 'academy trust'.

I am a governor/ director of a small trust of secondary schools (age 11 to 18 students)

It's a voluntary role where we governors are holding the paid senior leadership to account for the progress of the students and how public money is being spent.

Evening all, looks like you've all had busy productive days - me too and the sun was shining here today.
Still very warm for end of Sept. but all set to change this weekend and rain started tonight.
I love autumn and the changing colours.

Good evening all.
A very muggy and misty day here.
Hope weather is better in your corners of the word.

Nope.
Sounds the same.

I prefer summer. All day, every day. Autumn is my next favorite but still. Summer.

You're up late Prairie Mom. Sleep well

Enjoy your parents' visit and your date with the CPR dummy

Thank you The dummy got smooched. The visit with the parents was wonderful. Now, I'm back to the usual grind. Putting kids to bed right now. Little ones are brushing teeth.

I'm just feeling miserable and unloved.
It happens.
I'm rather a pathetic individual, really.

I can't bear to hear it when ANYONE speaks about themselves negatively. It's never true!!!

Lately, I've had to think long and hard about not letting my happiness or even my sadness depend on anyone else. I constantly remind myself that it's MY job to be happy. It's MY job to live a good and fulfilling life. No one else can or should carry the weight of my life on their shoulders.

I sincerely hope and wish you can find your own happiness and share it with people in your life from time to time. Also, it's always been my experience that whenever I tell myself that "I'm feeling unloved" I'm actually ignoring the people that do really care about me. I'm guessing you are more loved than you realize in your dark moments.

 

[Prairie Mom]

It wasn't you or Ed in particular.
The whole tone of the thread was nasty and it's just one of many recently that leave a sour taste in the mouth.
But it's partly just my current mood, too.

Well, I think it bothered you far more than it bothered me...

The song from "Frozen" suddenly comes to mind..."Let it go" "Let it goooo" -What!? I'm around kids all day and can do a wicked Elsa when I'm driving the minivan.

Good morning all.

Happy birthday to @Marinated mamma for yesterday... sorry we're late in the CDR!

I suppose I'd better get up and take daughter to work. It's either that or lose the use of my car for the day!
