We had another snow fall "Winter Storm" today. Yesterday I spend most of the day decorating outside while the weather was tolerable. I had to work early but found myself calling off because they had cancelled school because of the storm. Needless to say I couldn't leave them by themselves.
I have learned from working retail that for some reason or another, when you are a single parent or just a parent left without any alternatives, you just don't get understanding. The head of the department wasn't happy with me and coldly asked me "If this was going to happen every time the school called off or there was a delay?" I just took it and remarked "That it wouldn't be that way all the time."
What happened to "Family" in the work place? I really enjoy helping people at work and try very hard in doing so..what about my family or what is left of it.
Needless to say I have been blue today trying to understand why I have to place my family down on priority when it comes to my job. My children come first, and being that I am their only surviving parent, why should I have to explain my reason. I answered a question of "How Old Are They?" Which really upset me.
Anyway, I watched the storm roll in and leave the snow behind, it basically had been a grey day, kinda sad in a way. Its nearing the anniversary of my husband's passing and I will be looking for a lovely memorial brightly colored with red and green for Christmas. Some days are harder than others and I go throughout the season with a smile on my face. For those of us who have a difficult time of it, especially around the Holidays. I want to say my thoughts and prayers are with you. My love especially to a family up on the East Coast who are going through their first Christmas season without their dear parents.
I pray God will keep you strong and bring the warmest and the most loving memories of them close to your heart that they are always with you.
