i have some time in my hands

it's saturday and i'm here at the travel office, it's a little quiet so i have time to write a few things.

it has been almost a month since we acquired the travel business.  i have not left my other job since i am training my replacement.  i don't know when my stint there will end.  i have mixed feelings about leaving that company.  it has been very good to me and i have the highest respect for my boss.  but, this is where the road has lead me and i am thankful for the opportunity to be a business owner.

busy is an understatement.  paul has gently reminded me that we started the business with the intent of spending more time with michelle.  the last month, i have spent far less time with her than we initially planned. that will change in about a week (i hope).  

my parents are also on vacation in the philippines....which has added a level of stress for me since we get a lot of help from them with michelle and things around the house. yes, i am spoiled by my parents.  they are the best.  they felt bad they had to travel when i was going through this transition...ganon sila kabait.  according to my best friend who is also in the philippines on 'vacation', my mom was crying because she felt bad for michelle since michelle always complained on skype how bored she was and how much she misses them.  

michelle's an awesome kid.  she's a really well rounded, very positive and very understanding child.  i sometimes i want to give her all that she wants from us, but then i remind myself, she's become this awesome kid because of the rules we've created and how we follow them.  if let go of all those rules now, things will definitely change.  Thank you, Lord, for the wisdom and guidance in raising our child.  

anyway, it's almost time to go.  hopefully, the next several weeks will be busy (business-wise) but not overwhelming.  =D  Lord you are good!
