It's a Challenging Life

So a week ago I was at Angel stadium having an amazing time with new and old friends. My weekend only got better and mind you I was up for 25 hours straight compliments of work.
The weekend really helped me have perspective about how I need to balance my work and social life (interestingly enough I am at work right now and it is 7:53 on a friday night of a 3 day holiday weekend).

The week became a challenge when I returned to my office on Tuesday. I questioned why did I ever accept this transfer and why wasn't what I was doing enough to please people. So after meeting with an auditor from our France corporate office I worked late and then prepared myself for my HSE meeting the next day with the HSE person from France and my future GM. Mind you I went home feeling overwhelmed and cried the entire 20 miles.

Wednesday did not get any bettter...well I think we convinced the HSE person that we are committed to the HSE programs but I have A LOT of work ahead of me. However, I still had a lot of work to do and a lot of drama. So what does a woman do when feeling overwhelmed? Cries all the way home again. Seriously thought that is it I am moving back to the OC and getting an easier job (does it exist). I was fortunate to have an AWESOME nephew who tried so hard to comfort and make me realize that it was temporary thing and things would better that of course it made me cry to realize what a great man he has become.

Thursday well here came the 18 wheeler for the 3rd day....luckily I didn't let it get me down since I knew I was meeting my nephew for a night out. I LOVE HIM!!! While my mother may have passed I am fortunate to have a WONDERFUL sister in law that called me that morning and helped me keep things in perspective. I also talked to my future GM and my VP of HR of the challenges I was getting and I felt so much better.

Today, well here I am spent a lot of time helping team members answering questions for issues that I am not sure why we have them but I have a new found outlook. Get organized this weekend ( I have a crate full of work to sort through) and get ready to take on the month end tasks.

I can do it yes I can. After all I will be at the Newport Beach temple tomorrow afternoon (my new goal is to go on Wednesday nights here in San Diego) and then celebrating at the Bostonian Club. Happy Birthday Sharon!!

So while my week may have taken me from feeling like I was on top of the world...that 18 wheeler kept running me down but you know with a LOT of FAITH, support from good friends, family, a good GM and a good VP of HR; I WILL OVERCOME this crazy chapter of my life!!!
