Maybe venting will help...

I've been going over this in my head since yesterday telling myself I'm upset for nothing, but here it goes...

At work, two guy teachers were complaining about their daughters having a cold, in my classroom, while eating my candies... Yes, I do have a hidden stach in my desk for bad days! One of them looks at me and tells me something like, you'll see when you have a kid that it's really terrible giving them crappy cough syrup. The thing is, my sweet son lived for 22 days before passing away. We watched him get through some pretty rough procedures in the NICU and, well you can imagine the rest. So there I was, in my classroom. I froze and the only thing I was able to say was that I am pretty sure I can take it! By the way, they both know that my son passed away last summer. Right now, I'm filled with catty comments that would have been terrible to say. Grrr!

I just want to be positive and that clearly keeps me away from my goal. I haven't been able to talk to anybody about that because I fear that they might think it's a litte bit stupid. Okay, it maybe is, but still if it was that stupid, it would have stop to bug me by now.

I already feel better! Thank you so much! I feel so lucky to have found you!!!

For one, a lot of people don't think before they speak....and second, they're men. Either they weren't thinking and didn't realize what they said, or they weren't thinking and realized what they said afterwards and now feel guilty but can't bring it up to you again. Just remember that they didn't do it intentionally with any meaning to hurt you, I'm really sorry that you had to go through that though!
