================================================ Subject: Re: [ Creed Discuss ] Happy Holidays! From: "Tara" To: "The New Improved Less Lame List" Date: Fri 19 Dec 2003 21:48:36 -0500 ================================================ Happy Holidays, everyone: 2003 was a pretty hectic year for us, lots of changes. For those of you who don't already know (which is probably most of you), Scott and I got married back in August, so this will be our first Christmas as an old married couple. Now we're working on getting his paperwork filed. Dustin turned three in October, and already knows his ABC's and can count to 20. He started preschool a couple of months ago and is doing very well - he loves going to school, and is disappointed on days he doesn't go. Jayson will be celebrating his second birthday on February 29th, 2004. (It sounds so impressive when I say I have a second grader who'll be having his second birthday in February...). We also started homeschooling Jayson, due to issues we were having with the elementary school; they seem to believe that the way to "cure" a very imaginative, very active, and impulsive child is to give him detentions, suspensions, and medication. We're hoping the one-on-one teaching will be more effective. I got a promotion at work, I'm now an assistant district supervisor for the company. Unfortunately, it didn't come with much of a pay raise, but I'm hoping to see bigger paychecks by March, after my yearly review. I've realized that a large part of why I was so unhappy in former jobs is that they didn't give me enough responsibility (read: stress). It seems the more my employer expects of me, and the more trust they put in me, the better of a job I do. Hope all of you are doing well, and have a wonderful 2004.
