Weathering The Storm.....
Staying in a progressive state of mind is VERY hard. It is being tested on a daily basis, and from various directions. The last couple of days I have been taking steps forward and backward. At his point I am uncertain how much I have regressed or progressed. I will stay @ this moment I feel pretty confident that I am at the very least progressing in a positive direction.
Tests:
1. I currently enrolled in college to complete my degree. In this class I am currently attending, I am assigned to a team. The teams are to submit a persuasive research paper sumarazing a given topic. Team mate A subitted , for the teams review, text found on a web site. Team mate B, took this text, cpoied and pasted it into a word document, and then wanted to submit it as the team assignment. This is plagiarism, yet no one on my team realizes this.
After I realized this paper was a word for word copy of a referenced web site, on the day the paper was due, I thenstarted and completed the paper and submitted it so we would not get a zero. I have since experienced negative backlash from my team mates.
2. After my vacation, I have noticed that things have gone back to normal @ home. My chioldren just are not getting the kind of attention they need. I believe this is the case because they are not the top priority. This scares me, makes me angry, and makes me re-evaluate my judgement of character.
I have tried everything I know how to, to address this without much success. It seems as if my childrens care giver is only a baby sitter. There to make sure they do not hurt themselves. There are virually no develomental activities, absolutley no structure to the enviroment. I have to find someone who will provide the kind of attention that will help my children grow, and address thier needs as children and individuals. They are young and need to be shaped, and taught various basic skills, such as communicating, social etc. I wish I could be a house husband so these may be provided, but that is not possible at this point in my life. I must make some descisions to address these. I can no longer afford to focus on the problem, and redirect my energy towards a solution. I must replace\release my care giver. I need my care giver to leave as soon as possible, but of course that is my responsibility as well. My shoulders may bear only so much before they break.
