kseenaa | *poke poke* This thing on?

I actually enjoy the place I work at right now. Believe it or not. Even if a friend of mine who is in training to become a bodyguard asked if he should come work for me instead...

It's located in the area in this city with the most refugees and refugee kids and it's... probably one of the most troubled schools in the city. But guess what? Even though shit happens ALL THE TIME and I work my ass off (believe it or not), I actually enjoy the place.

Mostly because the staff is GREAT! And come summer, I get to pack up the library and move it from the shitty place we're at now and move to the newly built school. And get a WHOLE NEW LIBRARY! Now if that don't make a girl excited, I don't know what will.

I also try to make good things for the kids at this school with a bit of different class-visits from me and also for the bigger kids I finally (FINALLY!) managed to get the artist Dogge Doggelito to come to the school! YES! *fistbump* He'll be GREAT there since he has grown up JUST like these kids basically.

I just hope I get to stay there. My predecessor and previous collaguege is just on a leave from work trying on another job until June. So he COULD come back, but I highly doubt it. His health wouldn't allow it, I don't think. He has a lot of health issues, and working at this school IS stressful, so his health ain't doing to good when working here. :-P

So in other words, I'm doing really good. Just stressing around like nobodies business. Alexandra and

peting73 is doing great to.

Peting got his diagnosis of diabetes not hugely long ago, but is doing fine and getting used to it as well. He is doing a bender with sugar when we have birthday parties or christmas, but other than that he is REALLY strict with his food. So he is doing great. Still sleeping long though *grump*, but doing good.

Alexandra is quite cross eyed, so we're struggling with that. Since she won't cooperate with the doctor. She is going hysterical as soon as anyone tries to examine her or make her do something. So that's not very funny. The doctor hasn't been able to do a proper examination, which means she'll most liekly have to be sedated next time we go there. *sigh* Anything to make sure her eyesight develops properly though.

I'm doing good to, health wise! My broken leg did heal up as it should, so it's doing great. Still struggling with my sugar-addiction, but working on it (ricecakes and tea has become my thing). I do have a longer and a shorter leg, however. Never given me issues before in my entire life, but now my hip on my longer leg has started to protest a little. So we'll see if it continues to do that or not. I might have to do something about it. But that is the ONLY THING! :-)

Life moves on as it should. Alexandra grows so fast it's crazy. She's turning 4 years this summer, can you believe it?

Also I've cleaned out all my inboxes and I feel damn accomplished.

First, I love the new theme here!
Then, I'm glad you enjoy work as it's usually the place we spend the most time in a day and it's also really important that everyone's health in the family is good.
It's nice to have some news from time to time even if I don't really know you :P

Thank you! I think you'd just friended me when life overwhelmed me and I had to take an unplanned hiatus from Livejournal. I won't say I've returned, because then I'll be overwhelmed again, most likely. But I'm here now, and I'll just stay with that. :-)

My sister wouldn't let anyone examine her until she was about five. We tried everything, including turning it into a game. Mostly she freaked out at the dentist, which is how she ended up with 20 fillings in her baby teeth. She grew out of it though.

Oh thank gawd she's not the only kid going bonkers like this. And that there's hope. Because it's really stressful for everyone involved. Except the doc. She's a bit older and has probably seen it all already. And is REALLY good and sweet! So at least it's not the doc's fault. :-P

:Waves:

Nice to see you. I can't believe Alexandra is four already. How on earth did that happen?

I KNOW! I have to pinch my arm sometimes and I just... WHAT? o.O In two years or so she'll be in school. Freaking mind-blowing. o.O

Hey you! It's great to see you around these parts! :D

I'm very glad to hear that you guys are doing okay, but I'm sorry that peting is struggling with some health problems. I cannot believe Alexandra is going to be 4! Where did that time go?! It seems like yesterday I was picking her out a tiny little newborn outfit and now, she's growing up too quickly!

I hope things continue to go well for you, and best of luck at your job. *hugs*

OMG!!!! It's YOU! How are you? I missed you? Are you OK???

Questions questions... It all ends up with me hoping you are doing alright in life. *HUGS*

Peting is a stubborn man unfortunately. Good sometimes,less good other times. :-P

And Alexandra... Man oh man. She is GROWING UP! And fast! Can you believe in 2½ years she'll be in school? *can feel the grey hairs gathering* I have kept the gorgeous gorgeous onsie pyjamas you bought her though. :-)

HEY YOU! :D Yes, I'm still alive! And around! It's wonderful to see you back in these parts!

I try to check LJ at least once a week; I only have one other friend in another fandom who is still active. So I might miss stuff, but I still care! :D And I think about you and your Alexandra! I cannot believe she'll be in school in only 2.5 years. It seems like you just had her! She's growing up way too fast! *feels old too*

I'm glad to hear that you're doing all right, but keeping too busy maybe. I hope things go well with your job!

Things are much the same here. I'm just taking it a day at a time. That's all we can do, I'm told. ;D

I hope that things continue to go well for you and your family, and I'll definitely keep checking in more often now that you're around! <3 Take care of yourself, love!

Not sure if I should take that as a compliment or not. *LOL* I try to update at least once a week, but that all depends if I feel like writing something. I always just ramble along when I'm writing. :-)

I'm both glad and worried to hear that nothing has changed much. I do remember how much you struggled. And if nothing has changed, well... I really do hope you take care of yourself to. *HUGS*
