Well, unfortunately, the pendulum has swung in the wrong direction again. Ryan's job has been very busy....he has had some turnover and hired someone new and has traveled about 50% of the time since March. We've had some serious conversations about this and I think he gets it, but hasn't been able to get it under control. It's great that he has built this new data center focus for his company, but it owns him right now. I'm not saying his job isn't good in some ways as it can be flexible and he does a great job of providing for us, but there comes a point where he is giving too much to his company and we are there. Hopefully, he can hire someone to do the job he is doing and relieve some of the load, but mostly the problem is his personality where he can't let go of stuff and he is driven by multi-million dollar deals...it his addiction, as he put it. He has no time for himself and isn't taking very good care of himself and that will catch up to him eventually (it already has as he is gimping around because he won't take the time to go to the doctor to find out what is wrong with his hips and back).
Enough of that....the nice thing about his travels is that he has been flying my mom here to help out! We had a lot of fun the last time she was here at the end of May and it was a busy week, filled with a school meeting, the foster support group meeting, swimming at the gym (she forgot her suit, so squeezed into mine!), brunch with friends to make promotion lei's, visiting the wine festival and going to the movies, attending open house to see all the kids work this year, doing foster respite, stopping by the farmer's market and doing Meals on Wheels. As well as the usual sport activities. I couldn't have done everything without her and what I could have done would have been exhausting, so thank you mom!!!
