131 days and counting...

So, have you ever had one of those days where you have tons to do and just can't focus? Well, today was one of those days that I had tons of work to do and my mind kept wandering to the cruise. I think it is because we are 11 days from being able to book things - ad since we have the concierge I don't have to sty up until midnight and scramble to get my PALO reservations and all that... matter of fact, I have a list of things that I want them to do for me...

So, if I have all that help what does that say about my inability to stay on track? I think it is because I finally figured out the problem with my job... When I first started with my company I was a TAM (Technical Account manager) and I LOVED it. not only did I solve problems for my customers, but, in addition, I was able to see them grow and progress and evolve in how they used our products. It was very satisfying. Then I was passed over for a promotion, finally promoted into a support manager job. This is also the job I have now - but I took a 14 month break to learn something new. And now, I realize that I get no satisfaction out of being a support manager. This really stinks because people tell me I am good at it.

So, there it is... Lots of decisions that I need to make...

134 days from now...

We will on our way to Hartsfield International Airport, passports and paperwork in hand! Well, we may still be waiting on Stephen to get out of school - it all depends on his teachers and how they treat the trip. This years teachers were all for it - great learning experience, trip of a lifetime, all that. You just never know about next years teachers...

So, today also marks the day that the girls of the house can be pirates as we have our attire for Pirate night aboard the Disney Magics Pirates IN the Caribbean party!

Will have to get pictures taken and post them!

Edit: Here is a picture... Hope this works...

Sunday...

So, it is Sunday, it is hot, humid and we have baseball. So, it will go without stating too loudly that it will be miserable on the field. The boys are in black socks, black shirts and black hats... But, we are in first place so that helps a bit.

So, cruise thoughts are coming to mind... What to do in Spain... What to do in Gibraltar... What to do at any of the ports... I read the excursions and I just don't know what to do. For Gibraltar we want to do the Under Siege tunnels, see the Apes, and go up the cable car. There is an excursion that covers all of that - but it is a short trip (4 hours to do it all). according to folks that have been there you can get in a cab right at the port for about 25 Euro per person (less than half of the child rate with DCL) and do all of it except the cable car. But, you can do just the cable car as well... So many decisions... Good thing I am not trying to figure it all out today...
