I've been away from reading my favorites for a while and I'm really enjoying catching up with your post. I feel as if we've just had a cup of coffee and a nice chat. I love it when you share about work and family. I enjoy hearing bits about work and how you handle things as it gives me a bigger sense of your daily life.

Sometimes people need to work on basic e-mail courtesy, not to mention workplace responsibility.<br /><br />It's natural you would miss your family, but I bet this time will do you good. It's always nice to eat bruschetta and fennel soup and just inhabit your own head for a while!Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-59207363718363476212013-06-08T02:13:21.689-04:002013-06-08T02:13:21.689-04:00So many things caught my eyes on this awesome post...So many things caught my eyes on this awesome post:<br />"These details will need to be handled by you on Monday. Thank you." Yes!!!! I feel like stomping my feet and lifting my arms up in the air. How many times have I struggled to say this. So happy you 'handled' it. And her.<br />Also, I too love staying in my house, which is a brand new feeling. And yes, Americans have plenty more living space than many other countries have visited. Except for the islands or North Africa. <br />And I love that you're enjoying your daughter being home so much. How wonderful that she herself seems to enjoy it as much.<br />Many hugs!Miss Ahttp://thisismylifeasiliveit.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-51778379409188846772013-06-08T01:55:46.164-04:002013-06-08T01:55:46.164-04:00Love your "ramble"!

I was watching HGTV the other day, and a stay-at-home mother of one had a meltdown because helping her husband decide which of (three) million-dollar homes to purchase while taking care of her little girl was too overwhelming. I'm thinking, what the heck, lady! Just the same, someone without clean drinking water would say the same thing about me when I complain about the grocery store being out of some delicacy I want. We're pitiful sometimes, aren't we? Enjoy your down time, and good for you for drawing the line with old girl.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11108038613426722566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-62427350333506441952013-06-07T20:38:40.682-04:002013-06-07T20:38:40.682-04:00And a beautiful and interesting ramble at that.

I did that too this week in telling client I could not get him a proposal until Monday because every time I'm asked I drop everything and get it to them promptly and being nice and trying to meet their every need has never paid off, not one iota and I'm tired of it. Lying in a bed for a day reading and watching mindless TV sounds divine. Sweet JoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
