REALLY?

Okay, so you don't agree with me...who cares?  Lets agree to disagree...

I really am a takeover type personality and I am a see it my way or the byway.  However, through the years I have learned to tone it down and try to find the win-win, but it always seems like the win-win always sways more to the other side. I just really feel like I am wrong all the time, and I usually am.  However, there are certain times I will stick to my guns no matter what, especially if I know I am correct.

So where is this coming from? I had an e-mail argument with this teacher at work...last WEEK! They thought one way, I thought another, I explained my point of view and backed up everything with why I believed the way I believed, I listened to their point of view (which made no sense to me...lol).  I decided that we will never agree on this issue and ended the last e-mail with - we will need to agree to disagree.  Then TODAY they bring it up and want to discuss this at a team meeting...what is it their side against mine?  I don't even know if anyone sees it my way or their way and I personally don't care at this point.  I know what I am going to do, and everyone else can do it their way, and it doesn't matter.  I am not the boss of the team, I am the team leader, I am there to create an agenda, keep the meetings on task, bring back important ideas, and keep the team working together. I give my ideas and you can accept them or not, but if I know that I am right I will not back down unless you give me good reason too. That is how it would be if I were team leader or not. I am not demanding that everyone agree with me, or do it my way.  Sometimes, we need to agree to disagree and go on with life!

Anyway, why am I blogging this?  When I read this e-mail that this person wanted this topic on the agenda, I wanted to drink a bottle of wine and eat a pizza. I actually was crying because I wanted food so bad, real greasy, fatty food.  What did I do?  I went and made my shake and chicken broth, and thought about how the little things don't matter (and this teacher is little...LOL).  What matters is my health and my family and no one is worth losing that at this point. 

I am actually not as hungry as the first few days, but the no caffeine today gave me a headache.  I love Fred and he is so supportive...everyone should feel sorry for him, because as you know I can be a PAIN and he is always so calm and nice to me...he is one amazing man!  Thank God for helping me find him:) I will need to continue to work on working out my stress in a different way then eating.  Watch out Fred...there is more crying and temper tantrums coming...I can guarantee it:) 

So what do you think is a way I can take out my stress in a more positive way? I don't want to eat, drink, cry or pout every time I am stressed a little.
