So, i never promised I would post every day but it has been quite awhile since my last post.

BUSY!
That is all I can say. Work has been insane and spending 11 and a half hours in a room where the walls are painted asylum green one would think they are in prison. Well then again maybe I am, just not like any other prison. One filled where I lead the prisoners and as their warden at times do want to use force to get what I need done. Anyways enough about that.

POTTY Learning:
Okay so I have read that you do not call it potty training as you are the trainer and your child is the student. But the Z has used the potty 3 times in a row. This is a result of S and I conditioning ourselves to watching the clock and timing successes. However it is working and she is extremely proud of herself. She phoned me at work today screaming into the phone with joy how she had just went pee pee in her potty. Wow, who could of thought that human elimination could be so exhilarating. Not I.

I just actually went online and purchased a "travel potty" so that when we go out Z can bring her own personal potty. Not sure how our hosts will enjoy this but she will.

Lets keep our legs crossed that this is a success!

What a day!

wow, today started out with opening electronic announcement to the company that one of our senior level management members is no longer with us. Putting ofcourse the entire company in a hush around the coffee pot as to why?what happened? who could be next? type atmosphere.

One thing is I know it is not me. But am I cut out for the "corporate hardcore" culture that is starting to express through decisions and lingo in the office. HMMMM......I like to get shit done, I like a good job done, and I also like being in control. Maybe I am cut out for it but at the end of 25 years will I reflect back and be glad that those attributes are what I posses? I don't know, I have no clue, and I don't expect an answer.

I stay where I am because I am damn good at what I do, the people are great, and the company has had a wholesome family type environment where if you had to leave early one day to take Suzie or Johnnie to the doctor or see their school play that was a totally acceptable reason for skipping out early. I like that.

Time to reflect and decide what is important to me when I am 55! Will you still love me, will you still need me when I'm 65? I was just bored there so typed that in. CIAO!

So, I am soooooo sick of the freezing cold weather that I actually wore a toque today when I went outside. I can not wait for Spring anymore.

Anyways, nothing much new here except that our daycare hunt has been unsuccessful to date and we are starting to think that maybe we are just "too picky" heck an uncleaned house, open cupboards, a dark basement, and veggie tales are not all that bad are they? Oh yah we only eat hot dogs about once a week and we also serve chicken nuggets. Hmmm, maybe McDonalds will open a daycare and my child could have apple slices dipped in pounds of carmel sauce.

Well, hopefully we find something soon. Did you know that people actually don't take children outside in the winter because the commute from home to daycare is enough of an outing for a small child during the winter months.

What a week!

This post is not really about anything at all, especially nothing profound.

I am sitting here in my 12 by 2 foot room and thinking wow what a week! I had to make the hardest decision of my career and provide the hardest to give feedback ever! I made it through with the help of a few colleagues, my husband, and a great big glass of Red Wine.

I have found myself lately really enjoying those opportunities to have a glass of Red Wine. I find this weird. When did I become a wine drinker? I am no great wine taster as I do not have the pallat (?) for that but I do enjoy Red Wine. I always thought that Red wine was for those "snooty types". Being raised by a biker and my mother resulted in only exposure to beer and rye, hence the stereotype, or have I become that "snooty type"? I don't think so, I am still the free spirited, enjoy all that I can individual who wants to see equality among the masses who has come to appreciate the taste of Red Wine.

Okay enough about the wine, or was there a purpose to this blog entry?
