High: Finding out that the school district redid the lines and now Sami falls into the Junior High that I wanted her to go to originally. It made no sense that most her friends that she hangs out with from her school were going to one school while a hand full of kids would go to another. Now we don't have to worry about fighting the school district to let her in the other school I can just let her catch the bus! I love it and it is a huge weight off of my shoulders. I did not like that other school.
Low: Learning to smile and nod while in the face of rude, immature, and disrespectfully people. I have been lucky, Pat has not really asked me to be a part of the wives group on the bases we have been to so I have not really had to deal with the backstabbing, gossipy, rude, insulting, and sometimes down right mean groups. Unfortunately they are all over the place when you are in the military and you have to deal with them every where so I have learned to smile and nod anyway and know that one day it will end because it is a military base and everyone moves at some point. I pray everyday for the patience to smile and be nice whenever confronted, I am hoping it continues to work. I am also having a hard time not voicing my opinion or gossiping but I also pray that I can keep up the strength to not vent to someone who has nothing to do with it and should not be forced to be involved! Still working on being the better person but I think that is always a work in progress!

As hard as it is to ignore people like this, it is way better to be yourself and not stoop to their level. By ignoring them it also shows you don't give a crap what they think (which annoys them even more) You are a million times better than they are just by being you! Stay strong girl, love B
