Life is Good

I recently had a touch-base with my boss and the final bullet on my agenda was my interest in moving into an HR management position with the company. I explained that I realize that I am not ready yet, but I would like to be considered and I would appreciate his feedback on whether or not it would be a good fit for me. He said he could definitely see me in this position in a few years, he thought it would be a good fit, and gave some constructive criticism on my leadership skills - mainly, I still have some work to do on my public speaking and, obviously, the fact that I have never supervised is a hinderance. Nevertheless, he has promised to work with me to develop a development plan to get me where I want to go... as indicated by the above shot on his ever-important list of pending projects. I snapped this picture jokingly "just in case" it got erased.

Otherwise, my life has been going so wonderfully it's almost scary. My hubby went through the highly permanent yet much needed vasectomy last week. He is still moving very slow but is recovering nicely. In a way, I am sad that we will now definitely not have any more kids, but we do really need to stop. We're not getting any younger and we're running out of space! Besides, I'm ready to focus on the three children I have and put my all into raising them properly - so they're not someday returned defective:)

And so in keeping with the "life is so very good" theme, I am off to my 6:00 massage...

My 'Tephen...











Six months old. He almost makes me want to have another one.... almost.
