Eagle Family?

Just read this in a career advice newsletter. Thought it was pretty interesting commentary.

Overprotective families tend to produce chickens; critical families can create vultures. Soft, sentimental families may produce pigeons that strut and coo, and who run for cover in the storms. Families to whom life is a party can produce sparrows who flit here and there chattering meaninglessly. But an Eagle family is different. It is exposed to wind and weather and sun. And yet there is a quiet confidence, a solidarity to stand against the current winds of fashion and popular trends.

Buh-Bye Lowe’s

Well, it’s finally happened. I got a new job as a Project Recruiter for a recruitment firm. Currently they’re focused in the pharma industry but are looking to expand to other industries. I believe there are some great opportunities there, I just need to work hard and try my best to out perform everyone else.

Ah, and one of the best parts? No more retail hours. Hello nights and weekends!!! That used to fit better with my cellphone plan than an actual description of my life.

To the Big Man Above, thanks again!

Great Evening

Whew! Parenthood is so much fun, it honestly is, but definitely comes with its own challenges. Last night had a late one with my 19 month old daughter. I’m guessing she got food poisoning, my wife thinks the flu. Either way, it was a wonderful evening of pink puke (her favorite drink is strawberry milk) and multiple diapers with significantly odorful poo.

I’m sure all of us adults have been told once in their lives that, “You won’t understand until you have kids of your own.” My, my, my how true is that? I’m reminded in various ways, when my children are sick or hurt is one, but in other situations I’m reminded as well. For example, I’m the biggest party-pooper when it comes to my son playing outside in the snow. I guess for multiple reasons:

  1. don’t trust our neighborhood
  2. don’t want him getting sick as mentioned above, and
  3. don’t feel like cleaning up the mess of him bringing in his wet boots and pants all over floor.

Loads of fun I am, aren’t I? Guess I need to never forget what it’s like to think like and be a kid. Relax, take a break and enjoy the days my kids want me around. Now let’s just pray my daughter doesn’t decide to hurl while she’s napping on our bed.
