Getting it started...

I was told to consider starting a journal, that it would help me release pent up frustration and document my emotions. Not sure documenting my emotions is really wise, but ok doc you have the phd. Personally, I would like to go back to kick boxing...But since my back doesn't like that very much this is my attempt at another solution. Sigh.

Honestly, I have been following several blogs for almost a year now...I am one of those lurker types that love to read and get emotionally wrapped up in the story of another's journeys. The amount of wisdom and comfort I have gotten from these brave bloggers is incredible. So I figured it was time to give back or at least entertain those that happen to stumble onto my humble little blog.

So here is my start....

I have a very stressful corporate job that has me managing people around the globe.  My days are spent assigning work, managing technical designs and removing road blocks to productivity.  I can spend up to 12 hours a day on conference calls, which is lots of fun since I am an introvert.  Not even a low level introvert mind you but a top of the charts give me a book and glass of wine and leave introvert.

My kids (one boy, one girl) are teenagers, so naturally they know everything about everything.. So that makes my job easier... NOT!  Bless their little hearts, I love them madly but they can be a challenge. But I have had several years of mastering "The Look", so that helps turn things around pretty quickly when needed.

My hubby... What to say about him.  :0)  He is my exact opposite, which is why we fell super hard and super fast for each other. When they say opposites attract, we are the picture of the description.   This makes for interesting disagreements, since we do and approach things completely differently.  Most of the time I just tell him he is lucky he is cute.  Which in return I get his well mastered "Woman!" look...  Honestly, I think he should spend less time on that look and work on his look for the kids.  He could use some improvement, as mine seems much more serious than what he produces for them.  Just saying... 

Hmmmm.. Not bad for a start!  At least I have covered most of my bases and can say day one of my journal is complete. 

Until day two dear journal,
