Day Four

A four hour meeting at work today. Of the eight hours I was there, I was actually in my department for about 20 minutes!

Quote of the day from Little Pumpkin: "When I toot in the swimming pool, it makes bubbles, he-he-he"

Little Lion got his hair cut today. He was strangely quiet in the barber chair this time, maybe because he just doen't know what to say with Floyd The Barber. Typical small town shop, one chair, one cut, one guy. He may have been a little quiet because I got onto him for wearing his flip-flops, again, to Camp Bravo, even though we talked about it last night and we packed shoes and socks in his bag today.

Tried to do a 'chat' or something like it with Mommy Lion today and it didn't work. Yahoo has changed their mail setup and the new one has features that do NOT work like chat. I'll work on it some more later.

Dinner tonight was Sloppy Joe with steamed mixed vegetables. Just the three of us tonight, RJ never showed, I called his cell at about 8 tonight and he was with his mom. That just means he'll have leftovers tomorrow when we do chicken sandwiches!

If you've made it this far, you're a die hard, and I'm about to let the cat out of the bag. Exclusive blog disclosure. I was offered a job yesterday in Germany, by another company in our network, by a former VP of my company who now is with this other company. I owe him a call tomorrow, I think I know what I'm going to say, wish i could talk with Mommy Lion to solidify my feelings. I talked to MY VP about it today, he was calm, didn't offer any specific guidance, but reiterated a lot of what I already was thinking; not really helpful, but reassuring.

This is after I was offered a job last week with another related company about an hour outside of Atlanta, Georgia. I brushed that opportunity off, but it's still floating around in my head, what the opportunity would be, is there a better time to change, and what do I want to be when I grow up. There you have it, the inside scoop, haven't told anybody but you!

Tonight I was trying to get online with Mommy Lion when Little Pumpkin kept bugging me. There's a very small window of time when we can both be online at the same time due to a shared computer there, and 13 hours time difference from here. I asked Little Pumpkin several times to go play in her room while I tried to figure the problems out. She finally went off crying "I just want to be with you" over and over and over, and like a fool, I kept fighting the fight I didn't think I would win. At about 6:30 pm I gave up and went to get her, only to find her asleep, all her lights on. I got some sweet snuggle time rubbing her back and waking her gently before she agreed to help me fix dinner. She sat on the counter with me the rest of the evening, dumping, pouring, stirring, slicing american cheese with the cheese wire, open the bag for hamburger buns, and picking out vegetables. I LOVE that little girl.
