Memory in Motion

We met with the construction manager on our house yesterday and signed all the paperwork. So now it’s official- we should be in our new place sometime in May. No big plans this weekend, just packing, organizing, doing some catch-up email for work and playing with the kiddo. Right now it is bedtime and I’m trying to pry the guys away from the X-Box.

Ian missed 3 days of school this week due to the flu, and I missed 2 days of work taking care of him. I was ridiculously sick too, but you know I would have dragged myself to work anyway if it weren’t for him. My mom stayed home with him yesterday and today he was back at school. I am still miserable. I feel fevery although I am scared to see how high it is. Ryan says I look “green around the gills”. It could be because I got a disappointing review at work today. It wasn’t a bad one. It just wasn’t excellent. I’m sure that I will put it all in perspective soon enough and use the feedback in order to do a lot better next review period, but right now I’m just bummed. I am trying as hard as I can both at school and at work and I’m still getting points knocked off on my papers (okay, I have a 96 average, which is pretty good- but no perfect) and getting “good” ratings at work. It makes me think that maybe I really AM living up to my potential and I’m just not that freaking special after all.
