the week that was.....

ok, so....my week was marked by pockets of drama....both at home and at work....and both episodes were a reminder that people sometimes act like fools in public......of course, a reasonable person should realize that if one kisses a random boy at the corner of 4th and main in a small town somebody might just call your parents.......and the grounding that has resulted from this public show of affection has put a damper on our three-day weekend.....ah well.....i am mostly over this business....but not over the continuing drama at my workplace.....the details of which have reached newspapers in 2 counties, and both published accounts make it all sound worse than it is..... as this week draws to a close, i am trying to find a silver lining of some sort...something positive to focus my attention.....i have purchased a plane ticket that will bring the middle child home for spring break.....and i have downloaded what sounds like a marvelous recipe for potato, shitake and brie gratin for his homecoming supper......that sounds just yummy......food and travel planning are always appropriate distractions for whatever else ails.....
