Well it’s been quite a week. On the personal side, I’ve discovered that my daughter, who is only 4, has a mild hearing loss. On the business side, I’ve responded to a few more job requests and have yet to hear back from the client. Sheesh, what am I doing wrong? Sometimes I feel ungrateful although I know that is wrong. There are many many many people far worse off than me but still I manage to feel like sh*t at times because things aren’t going the way I want them too. Well I guess that makes me human huh?

I’m not ungrateful really… I know that I have a good life, a wonderful husband and a lovely daughter… I guess everyone needs to have a bitch sometimes though. Now the hearing loss thing isn’t a huge deal I don’t think. We have a specialist appointment in November (earliest I could get even though we are paying an obscene amount of health insurance… don’t get me started!) and I guess the worst case sceanario is that she will have to have an operation to have grommets… okay, not the end of the world, it’s a common operation and lots of little kids have them. But hey, this is the first time I’ve had to go there personally and the first time that my little baby girl has had to have surgery. Indulge me, I’m allowed to be a little bit stressed about it surely?! We’ll wait and see what the specialist dude says and then I can stress out with good reason (LOL!).

Now the business thing… well I have to say that I’m sooooo sick of responding to requests for assistance and not even getting the courtesy of a reply! If you don’t want me to do your admin work well okay, but please tell me so I don’t keep putting you on a ‘follow-up’ list and annoying you with my emails every once in a while for the next two months! What on earth has happened to good manners? I would think that with the ease of flicking back an email, it would be oh so simple to fob people off! Whinge whinge, gripe gripe… I’ve really had one of those days! But you know what? My daughter made me some fake flowers, put them in a little glass, displayed them on my dressing table and said “this is because I love you Mum.” Life isn’t that bad.
