Love and Marriage…and…Progress Reports??

Of course when I was in school…progress reports were not my favorite thing.  Once I discovered boys started high school I sure didn’t like those two words together.  I never thought I’d yearn for a checkup of how I’m doing!  However, as an adult who works full time in a fast paced role, I look forward to performance reviews to be able to have that check-in with my boss (a busy, Global Vice President). I need to hear the good, bad and ugly of how I’m doing so I can act on it. As a Manager, I welcome the opportunity to do the same.  I take it seriously.  I’m probably one of the few people who really enjoys it!!

Well..as a married woman who love love loves her hubby so much…like SO much..I often wish I had a template of a marriage progress report to measure my performance.  To feel like I know what I’m doing right and wrong and in between.  I’m going to create one.  I want to.  I might.  I should add that to my bucket list.  Mike and I have our own detailed conversations about this and daily I truly do attempt to do something that translates the WORDS I love you into an action…but life is busy and chaotic and sometimes you just want to be sure that’s the message you’re conveying!   Somewhere between the “Honey, can you pick up supper?” and the “I have no idea where your socks are.  I don’t wear them!”, you just want to know that the love is shining through!

Hmm. More on this later. Need to wash some socks.

I think….I might….go back to work tomorrow!!!!  Probably for 4 hours only but I think I am going to bite the bullet and see how it goes.  Wednesday might be a good time to try as it doesn’t hold meetings or usually have huge deadlines.  I need to do some trip work and just plain catch up.  I need to see my peeps and get out and my rest time to active time ratio is finally on the mend.  Please pray!  I’m calling my Dr as soon as they open to see about getting the “okay”!  Ohhhh I am so hopeful!!!  Praise the Lord!!!  He always provides…

How important is education? {Blog Challenge}

Education is so very important today.  It can be the differentiator in many ways when seeking employment.  I personally value experience just the same, but many corporations are putting greater emphasis on a person’s degree or lack thereof.  I hope my children seek out higher education immediately upon graduation from high school.  I hope I can influence them to WANT that.  I wish I had.  Obviously, everything happens for a reason and my whole life would most likely be WAY different but I do wish I had placed more focus on it then.

It’s SO hard.  I mean, really hard.  I mean, almost impossible to go to school when you have a job…and a family…and a life…  So, before you have all THAT….get some educational tidbits going on.
