I believe that it really has only been about 2 weeks, but it seems like a VERY long time. This has been a wild month! Here are a few of the things that occurred:
• Rear ended a co-worker early one morning while sliding happily along on black ice. Ironic thing is that the man I hit is the one and only teammate of mine located in MN. His car was a 2008
• Received a Blackberry phone, but because this is strictly business I am now a techy geek with 2 smart phones
• Spent way too many hours shopping for the first “Snow Daze” dress for Marissa. This is the official first high school dance for her – thankfully she is going with a group of friends
• Survived many commutes to and from new job, most now with a dented car (will be fixed in Feb).
• Gunnar has skied every Saturday this month.
• Co-worker and project mentor gave her notice on 1/9 – boy am I busy now!
• Joined sock clubs, received STR January shipment – WOW!
• Marissa went on a weekend retreat in northern Minnesota
• Gunnar made his first 911 call
• Pat rode in an ambulance, with us all thinking he was having a stroke or heart attack. We later learned it was an anxiety attack. We are still researching that.
• Worked on socks that are now referred to as Emergency Room Socks.
• Went shopping for furniture, thinking maybe time to replace Mocha devoured couch.
• Gunnar conferences
• Hardly enough knitting
• Gunnar chose between Percussion over French Horn for his instrument next year.
• Marissa has completed one semester of high school and most probably will be keeping her phone
• Pat is now official ‘car pool’ dad. Too bad car license plates are not transferable between family cars, but at least the kids can tell his van from all the other gold Honda’s due to the LADEB plates
• As of 1/29, Christmas décor still up at our house
• Today are a couple of meetings about the dreaded word “reorganization”. I think I should be fine.
• Now this may seem light to many of you seasoned pro’s, but all this is in addition to the ‘regular’ stuff and we haven’t had to combine regular & unusual with me working FT in over 10 years.
God is teaching me something – anyone have any ideas what?
Sounds like my life sometimes....
ReplyDeleteOkay was it percussion or french horn?? I have a freshman french horn player (this is her 3rd year with it -- even bought a used one for her for christmas).
Oh and just to mention something else that your husband might have had (my husband went through two ER trips thinking heart attack) and months later finally found out it was TOS (Thorasic outlet syndrome) but docs thought anxiety for a few months -- some physical therapy and streching later he is perfectly fine the last 4 years!
