My son and I grocery shop together, as I am his ride. I've noticed that in many ways, he's like his mamma: he can eat the same thing every day for a long stretch before he switches to something else. hahaha
Music can take you back to another time: Today, someone mentioned "Unforgettable" by Natalie Cole. I just love her version with Nat King Cole.
Started this post on Sunday, but I'll continue now that it's Monday.
Have you ever found it awkward to work with a co-worker? There's probably something wrong with me, meaning that I don't "play well with others". I had a long talk with myself about this. I have a great deal of patience when teaching someone something new. I've always had the philosophy to "learn something new every day" and "teach something new daily" as well. And I like to see the light in someone's eyes when they finally *get it* . :) But after 3+ years of working with the same person, there isn't any light at the end of their tunnel. It's just a job and remembering details isn't in their DNA. Which means I'm constantly correcting and reteaching the same things. Maybe that's why parents get so frustrated with some kids and not with others? It's not that we dislike teaching, its when we have to teach the same thing(s) over and over, still over again that we lose our patience and start becoming snappish.
I'm finding that the best thing for me to do is to find something else that needs doing because watching my co-worker do his job is too frustrating. Or maybe because I feel like I've failed to teach properly because he still doesn't get it. I suppose that's possible as well.
I'm back to a point where I'm feeling like I need to find some real balance in things that go on around me. I'm not much a people person, but having a really good friend or two wouldn't be all bad either.
It's a no caffeine day for me and I'm feeling the effects with a headache.
May tomorrow be an even better day!
