They told me so!

My husband and my mother-in-law told gave me really great advice, but of course I didn’t listen. I stubbornly held on to my old, outdated way of doing things.

“What was it?,” you ask.

Well, they advised me to seek out the help of my Principal in regard to my lesson plans. They told me to ask for her input; that this would open up lines of communication between the two of us.

“Do it and watch what happens,” they said.

Did I? Of course I didn’t, and of course I regret it because I went through so much unnecessary turmoil thinking that she hated me.

We had a great heart to heart the other day where she presented herself to me as a real person. I see her in a different light now. I don’t feel like she’s my enemy anymore. It feels so good to not have that feeling in the pit of my stomach. The one where you just have that sinking feeling.

I hate to tell my husband and his mother that they were right. My husband’s pulling up in the driveway right now. I’ll tell him later. I’m not telling his mother that she was right though. Why would I invite that kind of I told you so? Who needs a mother-in-law “I told you so”. That would just be stupid!!!
