Refocus

so, now into my second week of my temp job and I'm not crying anymore, LOL, and I'm getting the position pretty caught up (they didn't have anyone doing the data work for the first two weeks that their receptionist was out). I'm even getting some project work from some of the acct. managers so I guess I'm doing well. I need to not let myself get too comfortable there though, and focus my energies on finding a job that will make better use of my skills.

Speaking of focusing, I want to share a little story about my Hannah girl. At school, instead of having a time out chair or whatever, they have what is called a Refocus table. If the child is being disruptive or in trouble, they get sent to the table and need to fill out a form about what they did, why they did it and so forth and they also need to say if they are ready to rejoin the class. Hannah has tried very hard to not get sent to the table although she got sent once the first week of school for talking in line. But today tops that one, hands down.
Hannah got a very sad look on her face when I asked how school went today. She said she had some bad news. What bad news? She got sent to the refocus table today. And why did she get sent? "Well, we were in church today, and I got kinda bored, and there was a light shining down on me so I was making shadow puppets and talking to myself". I know, I had to swallow a laugh myself. We then had to have a chat about respect and treating God a little better than "kinda bored". Hannah was sufficently mortified, and hopefully will not be letting her boredom show at mass anymore. You just have to shake your head sometimes. I remember how hard it was to pay attention in church at that age. If we weren't singing, my mind was wandering. I suppose it is part of the journey for any cradle Catholic.
I hope God enjoyed her little play...
