I've had an interesting morning with one of the engineers that I work with. I'm in charge of producing requirements for feature enhancements to my product line. The engineers do their work based upon my specs. There is certain timing to everything. Anyway... it seems that the manager over the engineers doesn't hold his team accountable for any timelines. A simple project that should have taken 3 days tops is now on week #2. Because the manager could care less what his team does, it leaves me in an awkward position to push the engineers to abide by a timeline. They do not like that and this one engineer does not like me today.
And as I had to finally get up and walk away from my email so that I wouldn't send the response I really wanted to but knew I would regret later... I thought "this is not what should be upsetting me". This should not be the thing that gets my blood pressure rising. This should not be the thing that makes me cry at the end of the day sometimes. This should not be the reason I often have insomnia.
Bring on cartoons, cuts and kool-aid. I want to be upset because some dumb kid called my kid 4-eyes or a truck drove by and accidentally splashed mud all over my kid. Or the school lunches stink and someone needs to stand up to the district. Can I please have that job? Where do I sign up? I don't even mind the cut in pay. I'll happily abide. I don't need to eat out 5 times a week or get routine facials or massages or even hair coloring (well, maybe that). I'm ready for a new job.
Bring it on.

I hear you! I often envy the great life of a stay-at-home-mom.
you need me to make a call? cause I'll do it.
I really loved this post.
My cute daughter Erin is truly one of a kind. She is beautiful, bright, kind, loving, and a joy to be around. (Being her father has nothing to do with it!!)
You can't buy what she has to offer for any amount of money! I can tell you that when she exits this life in the FAR distant future she will be able to look back and report to her Heavenly Father that she did the best she could and she has no regrets.
There is still a hugh future ahead that will offer fulfilment in the area of her life that has escaped her thus far. I promise with every fiber of my being that patience and faith will result in the eternal happiness she seeks.
Erin, all of us are happy to have you in or lives!
Love,
Dad
