New Year, new me?

Welcome to the new year. I thought finally I can start anew. I can try to lose the extra 50 pounds that I carry, I can do better at work, be better with my kids, do better with my house and not be so stressed.

Well, it didn't even last a week. I can't seem to do anything right at work, I even get blamed for the other employees mistakes. So in other words one week into the new year and I have already been written up. The funny thing is that this is a special education classroom where compassion and understanding should be the standard. Instead I have to watch one of the aides flirt openly with the two male teachers. The week before vacation she was sitting next to one of them and reached out a put her foot between his legs, he answered by trying to get his foot between her legs, this happened in front of the students. I don't even bother reporting anything anymore because the next thing I know is I am in trouble again. I just feel bad that it affects the students education and behaviors.

I was going good on my exercise program until the transmission on my car gave up. I don't have the money to fix it so no car no gym. I should just walk to and from work it will take about an hour but I guess I will be skinny. I don't know how my 17 daughter will get home or to her sports practice. I might have to take her off the team. That will be hard because she is trying to play in college and needs the exposure to the college coaches.

The stress is getting to me. I think I will finally make an appointment at the psychologist to help me better cope and adapt. I'm just afraid that I will be with functioning autism. At that point there will be not much hope of improving myself. Can anyone really fight nature and there destiny.
