Inhale. Exhale. Repeat.

Finally able to catch my breath this morning. Sort of.

My boy started back to school today. His little private school is labeling him a middle-schooler and he thinks that is way-cool. I am much too young to be the mother of a middle-schooler.

It's nice to be home, and in a kid-free work environment. This summer just went by so very fast. Thankfully. I've decided that after labor day, I am going to cut back on the beer drinking and going out. It's been fun, but I am so tired and I sincerely miss my good eating/drinking/sleeping habits. I haven't made any progress on the home improvement projects in months...

My boss is still pushing me really hard. I'm still unclear as to what the end result of all of this is going to be. I'm beginning to think that I really wouldn't do so bad managing people. I'm an excellent trainer and good at building on people's strengths and down-playing weaknesses. I have a sort-of sixth sense in being aware of people's moods/motives/intentions (thank growing up in a violent, alcoholic environment for that one). I don't know. Still struggling with this one.
