Darth Vader vs. Hot Wheels.
Man, Three days since my last post? Time goes by fast (thank you Ferris Beuller wisdom). Speaking of time going by fast, my sons started kindergarten this week. So fast. Five years plus with since I first learned we were pregnant with my little knuckleheads...practically an eye blink. Yet, I have lived so much life, a more full and more...present life...with them in the picture. Next eye blink they will be 10. I can't even imagine that, in the same way I couldn't imagine five when they were babies. They are undeniably tiny people now (albeit crazy tiny people...as only five year olds can be). They have their own agency, and they are developing more of a consciousness, a self-story, a concept of who they are.
The little things make me happy. Yesterday they were playing with their Hot Wheels cars and race track set...and somehow this giant Darth Vader action figure we have become part of the shenanigans. Very Toy Story-eske. It was so...great. I was shaving with this big stupid grin as they played.
The new position continues to go well. Although I had a pretty major...hiccup I've had to deal with. Without going into details, it really sucks, and I am not out of the fire yet. But I am taking it as a learning experience and even an opportunity. Turn a potential negative into a positive. That's the only real way I can approach that...situation. But that's a more behind the scenes situation. The more visible study with the program and my new team is going great...but they have started to balk a little bit with some of the new and different directions I am interested taking the program. And that is OK too and not to be expected. I want them to feel fully able to express their concerns, and that I will fully listen and consider what they have to say. It's a good group, so I am lucky.
Leave for the west Coast tomorrow. Wow. Lots to do before I go...at work and at home. Will get a lot accomplished today. Looking forward to it. I like looking forward to what I do.
