Hello .....
It's been so very long .... since I held you in my arms so tight .... and now that you've been gone .... something or other ...
Anyway, a good 80's schlock ballad as a welcome back to me and my blog! Thought I'd dash off a quick note just to get the feeling back, and the words flowing. Last 3 times I tried to blog, got all hung up on trying to capture what had gone on since my last post way back in April or June. Which was overwhelming to say the least, let's leave it at - Very busy and very good, for the most part.
Now, off to fun and future things. The boys and I are off to a sunny, windy, and sorely needed vacation to the tropical isle of Maui. Along for the ride is Auntie NaNa, friend Jeff, Uncle Rexie and "friend" Amy, and Joel and Inez. Woo hoo, more fun than you can shake your kulo at.
The big question is when the boys rent scooters, who's gonna wipe out? And what is the probability of all the girls getting drunk off mai tai's and/or pineapple rum? ..... How much recuperation are Rexie and Joel gonna need? (leave for Vegas on Sun, return home on Tues, leave for Maui on Thur and back on Tues) And what about Ryan's sand-eating capacity?? Enquiring minds wanna know.
On other fronts, work has been challenging for me, shifting managers, priorities and even cubes (they seriously moved me over 1 cube at a cost of approx $1200) insane corporate stuff..... And Bobby too, it's been a roller coaster ride with his boss. Ryan does well 95 % of the time, but let me tell you that other 5% of the time, I hand the boy right back to him and say uhhhhhh.... I'm not worthy. And Bob is amazing with him. Direct when he needs to be, sweet and patient most of the time, and just able to handle him with true aplomb. The boy does spectacular in public, and really makes us out to look like all around parents of the year, which both Bobby and I contribute to, but really is due to baby Ry's easy-going-ness. He's a blessed babe.
Other stories abound, but this is enough for the comeback tour =)
