Not Getting In Trouble

Monday 7/18, I went to work as usual. Turned on my computer, logged on to my program that I use everyday, then last but not least logged into my work e-mail.
We use Outlook Express so that our outside salesman can (from home) e-mail us as needed.

Then there it was, a forward from "my" boss, from the "V.P.", that was from one of my top outside salesman (woman). What a way to start the day. The whole e-mail was about me, my name was not directly said, but I'm "her inside sales" help/person...Whatever you want to call me.

Anyway...Make a long story short, if you are going to take the time out to try to get someone in trouble, or "think" you are going to change something.

You better make darn sure that you have all your FACTS straight.
Let's just say that it back fired in her face and I got told "your doing a good job",by the V.P. Ha Ha Ha!!!!
Victory and I did not even reply to one e-mail. You gotta love that!!!

One up for the little guys. We have to take them however we can get them.
Hopefully she will quit being mad at me sometime. I act like it doesn't even bother me. I think that gets to her even more.
One day my time will come to be in outside sales like I have always wanted to do, but until then. I'm just trying to keep track and learn from all the mistakes that the salesman make now. So hopefully I will do better. I'm not saying I won't make any mistakes...I will...But maybe not as many or at least not the same ones.

My daughter Vivien is my whole life. There is not anything in this world that compares to her smile,laugh, the way she is. Her whole being is wonderful. Now don't get me wrong she is a handful. Very strong-willed, little girl, and smart!!!

She is starting kindergarten in Aug of this year. How did she get to be 5 so fast, it seems like just yesterday that I was having her. Time really does go by fast when they are young. Actually it has not slowed done at all.
She goes to a private school and before they will advance a child to the next level, there is a test that she school does to make sure your child is ready for there program. She has been going to this school since she was 3 yrs old and last yr she was in Pre-K. But they still do the test because they do not want to just take your money if your child would be better off in another school. I like that because I want Vivien to be challenged in her education.
So the week that she happened to turn 5 they went to get her from her class and take her to do the testing. Now...Vivien does not know that she is being tested, just that they are showing her some things that she will learn in "big school".
Like every parent, we all think "our child" is smart. They called me before they went down to get her to make sure I knew and that it was still O.K.

When I get off the phone with the school I begin to wonder, what if she is not as smart as "I" think she is, what if she is not ready to go into there program and she needs to go to public school. Not that public school is bad (depending on what city you live in), but we live in Keller and it was ranked as the number 1 school in all of Texas. So I would not be worried, but I really like the idea of her being in a private school. Over the last 2 years I have grown to love it up there and the environment that she is in. Her dad and I are divorced but he is very much a part of the decision making of where she goes. We both agree that we want her to go there for the full K-12 grades.
Anyway...Jason and I go to have a meeting with the principal of the school (they like to meet the parents and go over the test). The principal starts to explain how Vivien did and that she scored very high on the test. That she was no longer on a waiting list, they were making a place for her since she did score so high.

She had just turned 5 and she scored like she was a 6 1/2 yr old. WOW!!! Mine and Jasons mouth just dropped, I mean we both knew she was a smart little girl but to hear it from another person that actually had proof, well...That is a whole other ballgame. I almost started to cry I was so happy.

So needless to say "where can I find a Tudor for ME", I'm going to need one.
