This has been one hell of a week! I wished it was Friday Monday morning at 8am. But sometimes in the middle of craziness there are moments of levity. One such happened Tuesday night. I picked up Juice (our 4 year old) and after I heard about his day, he sweetly asked me about my day. I told him it had been a hard day, that I had lots of things that needed to be done and that I'd had a meeting that was a little scary at Microsoft - the place he'd been to with me a few weeks ago when he didn't have school and he had to come to work with me - but that I think I did OK in the end. The scary thing I had to do was called a "Business Review". He immediately piped up and said: "I LOVE Business Reviews!"
I had to smile because he was so enthusiastic - never mind that he had no clue what a business review was. I asked him what he liked most about Business Reviews and he said: "Why don't you tell me about yours." So I did. I told him that I had to put together a presentation, with words and pictures, that I had to do a lot of reading and writing to get it right, that I had to use some math to give the people good information. I'd have to do a show and tell of my work in front of many people and I had to answer questions about my work. "I love all of that!" was his comment and I know it was probably true. He's learning to read and write and add and subtract and for a pre-schooler he is pretty darned great at it. He amazes me with all the stuff he knows and learns. I asked him if he wanted to do business reviews when he grows up and he said yes, along with tap dancing, hip hop, playing guitar, playing basketball, etc, etc.
I'm glad I have stories like this to remember .. it makes the hard times a little easier to handle.
