The squishies started back to school, I began my transition into my new role at work and we of course had to make time to watch SYTYCD...LOL! (No but seriously it is amazing)!
Anyway the squishies went back to school last week. Jase is officially a Freshman and Em is in 3rd grade, but for her this is her first year alone so it was bound to be a tear-filled Monday right?
-WRONG-
Well at least from their perspectives. They both jumped out of the car and ran up to the school faster than I could say "I hope you have a nice day." *It looked a little something like this...
So I actually was the pathetic one crying in the car because my squishies were excited?! Really!!! In any case I did eventually pull it together and ventured off into the great world of the phased approach to me getting into my role. Only it's not so much a phased approach and instead is more of the "lets see how long her smile lasts when we give here THESE THINGS."
I will say that from a leadership, motivational and even analytical perspective I am G2G...however from a "brand new to role entering initiatives that are 1/2 to 3/4 of the way underway I cannot help but occasionally feel like...
Typically this would have me frustrated because I need to know everything, I like to solve the puzzle and then be proud that I did because I rock! But this time I have decided it is time to work on developing my "patience" and "great smiles w/ head nods" approach.
This is working very well by the way - no sarcasm applied.
No migraines and I am actually learning as time progresses that truly sometimes it is not about knowing all the answers but having all of my chess pieces in the right place so I can be sure to have the ice cream first. :)
Outside of that we also went to a few celebrations over the last two weeks (below) and of course watched SYTYCD, since it's back from the Olympic hiatus.
The company picnic (lazy river fun) with mi familia and friends!
The Luau at the Lakes with my awesome in laws - really awesome in laws. Which isn't it great when you have in laws that you truly love. My father-in-law is one of the most amazing men that I have ever met and I am seriously lucky to call him Dad and Momma Suze...really if you have never met Momma Suze you need to get on a plane and fly here and meet her because once you do you will never want to leave. - I am truly proud to call them my in laws.
The St. Stan's Polish Festival this weekend with family...which was great and delicious...
Bon Appétit and good evening!
