I’m not sure why I had a headache all night, maybe it is allergies as I’m pretty stuffed up. Anyhow I didn’t get much sleep, super.
Yesterday was busy busy. First the misses was off to the dermatologist and I had to run across town to a financial manager friends office. We met back at the house around noon and then were off to the Ritz Carlton downtown for a couple meetings. We started with a quick lunch as we were both starving. We then met up with the young girl who is handling my Bocelli tasting on the afternoon of June 5th at Elways restaurant inside the Ritz. Then we met with Shannon and Jenni who are our two contacts for the misses plastic surgery practice and skin care project who work for the hotel. The misses is putting together a package for patients on the plastic surgery side of things to re-coup at the Ritz. She’s also working on a deal so the spa starts using the skin care products and guests in high end rooms will receive complimentary “discovery paks” which are basically small samples for them to try out. The misses, having been out of the work force for a few years, did a fantastic job. All the girls bonded and things are moving forward. The one thing about the misses is she has a very good work ethic, she goes above and beyond what she’s supposed to do and is all in. Nothing replaces a good work ethic. There’s lots of people out there who are not as smart as others who just work harder. The misses has both, she’s not only smart but works harder than most people.
Meanwhile June was on her way home from the “you know what” home. Mom headed down there after the kids came home from school to help get her settled. As I said yesterday, June treats her like her daughter sometimes and I think, expects too much from her. I told her to stop worrying about her and help when you can but it’s not your job or responsibility to wait on or help her every moment of the day. On top of this, her son is here who also seems to be deferring to the misses when it comes to decisions, it’s kind of weird.
The boys were boys. They once again played hard. Jennifer (the oldest guys life long friend) came home with us after school and I think does so again today. The youngest played hard as usual and I think has a play date set up today after school.
This morning the misses has a 10am meeting with a rep from some company that sells the practice botox, juvederm and other things I can’t remember. I will be busy trying to secure the last few hold out purchase orders and make sure everything gets shipped this month. Most people think once you sell the wine, the job is done, however it’s often more difficult to manage the packing, scheduling and sailing of twenty different containers on 20 different ships from Italy to the U.S. Anyhow I’ll get it done.
It’s cold and muddy outside as the snow melted a little yesterday before freezing temperatures came back last night. I’m not sure if enough will melt in time for baseball practice tonight. I almost forgot, last night was the parent meeting for “growing and changing” at school which the oldest and every other 5th grader will soon be taught in school. Turns out some parents apparently never took the class as there were some unbelievable comments coming out of some parents mouths. They were pretty stupid and graphic so I’ll leave it to the misses to see of she wants to include any examples. More snow next Tuesday which will be April 16th, wow, wish it would end as we’re already for Spring.
No politics today, I would but it doesn’t seem to help anyway. We’re now in the mode where we’re letting it all go and are going to just keep our thoughts to ourselves and prepare for what we think is coming down the pike to take care of our family. (I’m sure I’ll be back soon with some rant as soon as someone does something really stupid)
Take care, have a great day and God Bless.
