Jo Knits!

Vacation!

Carl and I have 5 full days off from work! We have well deserved all those days off and fully intend to spend to most of it with the kids. The sun is out and hopefully the weather will be nice for all our days off. Nothing planned for Easter, we are pretty low key about celebrations like that. The kids will have a little egg hunt in the yard and we might go out for brunch in the weekend.

Two days ago at work, someone decided I wasn't doing my job right and told my boss that I should not recount for a day. It hurt A LOT to hear that and I wasn't in the best of moods all day. Then yesterday Carl spoke to our boss and let him know I was still pretty hurt about that decision since we were working with that person again. My boss came and talked to me, as we started working, to let me know that the person that though my work was not good enough was totally WRONG! We talked a bit and he then personally wished me a good day. It touched me to know that he took the time to see what was wrong and reassured me about my performance at work. He is younger than me but still I always show a lot of respect to him as he is my boss after all. When he met the kids he really felt old even though he shouldn't. LOL! I think both Carl and I, we got a new form of respect from our supervisors when they saw the kids. It made it more real to see us in action as a parent. I often say how I don't feel all that included in the group as most auditors are in their early twenties. I blend more with the older 30-40yo people, especially those with kids.

I didn't get to knit in the truck this week, it made me so nauseous I had to stop after a row each time. It's really hard to travel so much when you have motion-sickness. I take Gravol almost daily and then feel sleepy on our way to work, that plus not being able to eat breakfast in the morning makes it hard to concentrate when we start our days. I do try to eat but even a muffin is too big of a breakfast. I will try to bring a lot of fruits with us this week. Oranges and apples are always easy to eat while travelling in the van or while waiting to start working at 7am.

hugs, have a safe and fun Easter weekend! :)
