Progress

So I was promoted almost a month ago... Was looking forward to it, it was watered down along the way and now faced with major adversity as a result.

The challenges I expected, perhaps not the specific sources but I knew it wouldn't be a walk in the park.. Albeit, guest speaker used offense as the basis of his sermon to remind us the devil uses offense as an entrapment tool.  The message could not have come at a better time. Spent most of the week ignoring folks that have offended me and felt pretty satisfied with myself. Go figure I was only giving in to the master evil plan.  

Even with today's Facebook post of feeling empowered to go into my fifth week of my new role with my head held high, my squared shoulders and a broad back I feel sad and discouraged. My hew offense is from my husband - all these weeks into the new role and no real effort on his part to formally celebrate my accomplishment. We have had this conversation in the past and he offered me some lame excuse and here we are at this crossroad again. I'm Nnoyed and disappointed in him and with myself because I still am failing to plan for the disappointment and deal accordingly.  But I know why --,because I would NOT treat him that way and because he should know by now this is a sore subject with me. I brought it to his attention this evening and he had the nerve to tell me he's not interested in discussing because something is in the works.  I hardly believe him - something likely came into works thus evening when I called him out, but if in four weeks you gave done absolute nothing to acknowledge my milestone  - from a greeting card to flowers or a anything else hard to believe there's some master plan in the making all this while. Unfortunately he's a grade A procrastinator and typically thinks up things and fails on the research and or execution of the plan. It's super annoying. So now because I've identified it he's pretending that he's mad because I'm mad at his lack of "support". Oh please!

Tired, annoyed, disappointed and hormonal - bad combination.
