So I'm noticing a trend.. when Wayne is away, I feel more in the blogging mood. I guess because when he's home, I enjoy spending our time together. Also, I have someone at home to talk to, so the need to "vent" isn't really there, because I can tell him (and to his frustration, probably, DO) tell him everything. That's the best part of being in love and in a relationship with one of your BEST friends. For years I always deemed him my "BEST guy friend in the WORLD" Now he's my best friend and partner. What a great combo!
Anyways, I got home this evening and my mind is going a million miles a minute. Work has been chaos for the past two days. I actually left on time today, but could have EASILY stayed over night and STILL be behind. The good thing is this makes the days just fly by! Today I found out that our company doesn't do over time... anything above contracted hours is "hours in leu". Yeah, I have no motivation to kill myself in return for time in leu. Nope! No thank you. It's amazing somedays.... how much my work life has changed. I have gone from bed pans, cardiac arrest, passing medications, over seeing a unit, saving lives, etc.... to a desk. With radio. UNBLOCKED internet (which I actually don't abuse...only because, well, I don't have TIME!), and so many other "tasks". MOST are truly medical.... wound care, sutures, in office procedures/surgeries.... some aren't. Scheduling plumbers. Fixing computers. Scheduling printer repairs..... Reminds me of one of my favorite Kenny Chesney songs "the woman with you"... I can't resist.. I gotta post lyrics! And these lyrics mean a lot to me... because of the fact that no matter how my day is, I LOVE coming home to my Aussie.... (blog continues after lyrics!)
"The woman with you" Kenny Chesney
"She hit the door 6:55 sack full of groceries split down the side.
Can goods scattered all the way to the curb.
Look on her face saying don't say a word.
So, it's me and her and a can of beans sitting there on the front porch swing.
Western sky all turning red.
Head on my shoulder she sighed and said:
Been gopherin, chauffeuring, company chairman.
Coffee maker, Copy repairman.
Anymore there ain't nothing I swear man that I don't do.
Been juggling, struggling, closing big deals.
Dancing backwards in high heels.
Just when it feels like i can't make it through.
She said it sure is nice to just be the woman with you
She said the girl I was with the business degree probably wouldn't recognize me.
I was gonna run the bank.
I was gonna run the math.
Now all I want to run is a bubble bath.
Back then you know I had this plan.
Before all of this reality set in.
Here comes life boy ready or not.
Hey I wanted it all and that's what I got.
Cause I'm gopherin, chauffeuring, company chairman.
Coffee maker, Copy repairman.
Anymore there ain't nothing I swear man that
I don't do.
Been juggling, struggling, closing big deals.
Dancing backwards in high heels.
Just when it feels like I can't make it through.
She said it sure is nice to just be the woman with you.
She said I'm gopherin,chauffeuring, company chairman.

La, la, la, la, la, la
The woman with you"

Don't get me wrong. I love my job. But these lyrics just mean a lot to me.. I've highlighted some key parts for me... as you can probably tell.... lol.
ANYWAYS..... what got me to blog today? As I got home, and hit the pj's, my warm Ugg boots (that my honey bought me last week... how I lived without them?? I have no clue!!!) I started on some chili (hey, it's winter down here, yo! lol) and on the TV had "How I met your mother" playing. The thing I LOVE about this show is that, a lot like "One Tree Hill", the show is big on voice over's that aren't just blah blah blah... here is what tonight's show (which I think was the first episode!) had to say....
"But that's the thing about destiny. It happens whether you plan it or not. I
mean I never though I'd see that girl again, But it turns out, I was just too
close to the puzzle to see the picture that was forming."
So tonight, I challenge you to think about destiny. Think of the jobs you didn't get, the relationships that fell apart, the pain you endured.... where did it take you? Would you trade any of it knowing that it might not get you EXACTLY where you are now? I know for me, I wouldn't trade a thing. EVERYTHING I endured..has brought me here..change a single thing in the past..where would I be? Without Wayne, I'd be lost. Period. I love my life. I love our life.
On that note.....
Good night blogger world... or if you are in the USA.... good morning.
