Hi Ho Hi Ho It's Back to Work I go!

Yep you read it correctly....I am back in the working world! Since Keith started the company, I've been doing various bits of the work from home. When you have as many kids as we do and especially that the youngest three are so close together, it made almost no sense to have me go into the office. But, now that they are all in school in the afternoons and we have brand new office space downtown (which is about a 15 min drive), I've started working the afternoons at the office. I LOVE IT! Not quite sure what will happen in the summer....but come September, I'll be working full time - cant wait!
Keith and I work very well together. I don't think a lot of spouses can do that..spend all day together at work and then come home and deal with each other there too. You definitely have to be able to distinguish between your work relationship and home relationship. Which both of us are very good at doing.
It's fun working in the office with him though. I get to see him more - although not much more. I'm absolutely getting more done as there are too many distractions at home and with being in the office, of course, I can take on more duties of the business.
Plus, with my hubby being the owner of the company, if I need a day off for appointments or a sick kid...or have to leave early for something....it's not like he's going to tell me no :) And the shopping trip he sent me on yesterday for new work clothes didn't hurt either :)

One More Sleep

K has been out of town on a business trip since Tuesday. It's nice to have a break once in a while, but after about the second day, I want him back. As much as I miss him though, with everything that's gone on lately with his brother, I'm glad that he was able to get away. The training conference was only 3 days of the trip, so yesterday & today they've been doing some sight seeing and shopping. He's with 4 other co-workers...a couple of which are close friends, so I know he's in good hands. I think the trip was good timing. Yes, he's swamped with work..... but to have a few extra days in Miami to just get some r&r.. I'm glad that he was able to do that.
I try not to hover over him. I know him too well though. He's likely to just bury himself in work and I guess I just worry that at some point, loosing Phil is going to hit him and I'm afraid that I wont be there when that happens. As much as I hope to never have to see him that sad again, I don't want him to be alone should be feel that way again.

Today is Super Bowl Sunday. This is the first Super Bowl in 8 years that I wont watch the game with K. Usually we have friends come over, tons of food and a friendly little wager. But even though we're watching the game 4800 km away from each other.... we still have a friendly little wager :) GO STEELERS!!
