HE HAS RETURNED!

Yippee! He is home....

Although....the evening was still a bit difficult....there are just too many little attitudes walking around here. I have NO idea where these little attitudes come from..... :) Surely not from me!!

Absentee Father-Day 1

So Scott left last night for California. For those who don't know Agility's North American Headquarters are located out in Santa Ana and he was sent to "learn more about his job". Or something like that....who knows really why he was sent there....but really who cares right! I'd go if they sent me! He will only have the chance to be there for 2 days and will be in meetings most of the time BUT he will get a chance to see his sister and her boyfriend while there. Actually meeting the boyfriend for the first time....wow....the FIRST visit! Could be an intimidating scenario...but since Nick has already won over everyone else he has met I don't foresee any issues....although Scott can be a tricky one! But since I am such a nice person, Nick, I will tell you this...he CAN be bought!

Well I just put the girls down for naps so I am definitely going to take advantage of this time and get some studying done! Who knows how much more time I have!

Enjoy your break Scott....and remember....you owe me!!

To all you forward happy people....just a thought...

Email. Such an easy way to stay in touch. What a lucky generation we are! Able to connect with friends and family with such ease and convenience.....so then why don't we?

I am not saying that I don't like to get a funny joke now and again. Its good to laugh....and sometimes funny forwards come at just the right time. BUT....I feel it a bit unfortunate and a little sad when daily I am opening my email to see I have 30 plus new emails each morning and about 95% of them are FORWARDS. In most cases, not only are they forwards but the silly ones....like the "missing children"....that are not true. Or the "did you know"....which at best have only half the truth. How about those that want you to prove your faith by passing the email on to 36 of your closest friends!! Seems like such a waste of time....not to mention the build up of clutter it can cause in your inbox.

Wouldn't it be more worthwhile to communicate with friends? Maybe send a letter....or a greeting?! Obviously much time is spent online....and I am very much guilty of that also...so I am challenging all those to join me in giving less time to the junkmail and more time to building and maintaining relationships. Lets stop defining our friendships by our forwards list....just a thought...
