No matter what job I’ve ever held or what organization I’ve been part of, I’m never totally happy unless I’m in control. I have very set ideas on how things should;d be done and unless I’m in a position to make it happen it drives me nuts. I love working with people and make a point to surround myself with the best in every situation.

I’m just a bit flustered. Several different adventures I’m on right now are going good, but in all case I think they could be great if I was given just a bit more control. I’m working on getting it, but it’s frustrating.

Sunday morning and the paper is done and the coffee cup is getting lower. I’ve got a big conference call at noon. Had to do it then since it involves people all around the globe and it’s a good central time. Of course, that messes up anything I might want to do since it’s right in the middle of the day. My front hedges are looking like they need some trimming so perhaps that is the best course of action before it gets REALLY hot out there.

Awesome little moment this morning. Laura got up with the kids and the next thing I know she’s back in bed with me cuddling. She got them breakfast and turned on the TV and knew they’d be zombies for a little while. The extra early morning cuddle was damn cool. Of course I fell right asleep so it wasn’t much of an interaction, but it was still nice. Not many like that with two extra happy kids running around the house.
