This post is going to be a far cry from the previous two, especially the oldest...
My uncle called last night. My dad's side of the family was born with a case of motor-mouth, you get two of us on the phone and it can be hours....of nonsense. And last night was no different. My Uncle Noel and I tend to share a little more in common as far as ours attitude towards our family/work/social lives. My dad and my grandfather, both of which I love to death, tend to subscribe to the old fashioned idea of, daddy goes to work, pays the bills, mommy takes care of the kids and the two worlds rarely collide. I don't buy it. Wrong or right, I want to be more involved in my kids life...every step of the way. And it's just good to talk with someone who feels the same way.
Anywho...I'm at home today, working on my laptop, my wife is on the other side of the room, feeding Benjamin...and life is good. My business is struggling, but I'm really not worried. I know it's in the Lord's hands, and if the business is meant to thrive, it'll thrive. And if not, I'm a salesman by trade, and sales jobs are not difficult to find. So the business thing really isn't bothering me. My partners are panicked...really panicked...but I'm just not willing to let something like money get in the way of me enjoying my family. Like my grandfather always said, "you need money, go make some...".
We have a photo shoot tomorrow at the JCPenney in Frisco for Benjamin, and then my grandma and grandpa are coming to town, along with my uncle Bryan. They are just coming for the day and then going home on Sunday. My wife's grandma is flying in from Atlanta tomorrow as well, along with Amanda's Aunt Tracey. Tracey is going back Monday I think, but Grandma is staying a week. So that's exciting. Somebody will be here to hang with Amanda and Benjamin and help out while I'm at work.
Well, friends are on the way to come see Benjamin, so I'm off.
In the words of Robert Frost "The reason why worry kills more people than work is that more people worry than work."
Have a blessed day!
