mom of 3's Journal

Received a lot of positive feedback from many people about the second presentation. Did I tell you that I received flowers?  I thought it was from my best friend because of the first name.  Well, it wasn't.  It was from another friend.  She said such nice things. It was good to hear because I needed it.  Although "only" about 50 people came, it was regarded by the staff as a great turn out.  And the people who were there certainly benefited.  

I am trying to let this go because it isn't doing any good to brood about it.  It's still fresh, since T just told me today, so I'm "entitled" to be upset, I suppose.  First of all, I'm angry at myself for not specifying to the high school principal that we don't want our name plastered all over the Internet.  He, for the first time, offered to send out an email blast to parents about the program.  I told him yes and sent him what I wanted him to share with parents.  Well, he did but added our name.  T just graduated from there - you'd think he'd use common sense.  Well, he didn't.  And now T is upset because the parents of his friends are asking if T does drugs.  Obviously, these were the parents who received the email but didn't go to the meeting.  So - needless to say - not only am I mad at myself but more angry at the idiot guy who didn't use any common sense.  I'd like to think he meant well but based on the way he's been - it's difficult to believe.

Oh  well - this too shall pass...... That's what this journal is for - is to let it out.
