My oldest son gave me my Mother's Day gift tonight, and I cried. I read all about how much he loves me, loves my hugs, and loves the way I make soup. What really hit me was when he wrote "if I could give my mommy one special gift it would be money to buy more food"

I used to love my job, but now I'm not so sure. I love the location and the people I work with it. The pay is good and it is union, so I am protected. But my immediate boss is like nails on a chalk board. He's all nice to me when I am around and then it get back to me that he's talking shit behind my back. Normally I would confront him, but he is accommodating my schedule with my childcare needs.

I got royally crapped on for switching a shift and missing a course because my boys were sick and no one could take care of them. He also scheduled me to work 11-8 on Mother's Day Sunday, I am the only "mom" at my location. I felt that this was a personal dig at me to gets back for missing that course.
