Super Mom, Super Woman, Super Wife, Super Tired:

I was home today with the kids. All day, we didn't leave once. That makes for a long day. An especially long day when I hear Brian about to leave for work at 8:30, and I begin counting down the hours until he will be home again! Not because I don't enjoy spending time with my darling offspring, but because I am just learning the ropes of childhood infancy through PreK full day entertainment and Planner/CEO Ashley has no routine drawn up yet. Add that to the to do list.... That "when is Daddy coming home?" countdown was revisited several times throughout the day, especially when neither child would take a nap :) Being in the early stages of pregnancy with Baby Brez Numero Tres, I am tired. Very tired. This seems to be my big pregnancy symptom, and let me just say, TIRED I AM. So why is it that at 9:30 pm I am wide awake and not able to fall asleep when I could have turned in for the night at 2:00 pm? Those poor children could have used this energy all day long...what neglect :)

FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL

Here at The Brez Corp (TBC), we absolutely live for the grid iron or pig skin or the crashing of helmets together, or some just call it football. WE LOVE IT!! And tonight, our 2008 dreams have come true with the first football game of the season, the Hall of Fame game. I sorta like the Colts, hate the 'Skins, but am glued to it since this is a big day! I was thinking it was still early in the month of August for our beloved game, but pleasantly was surprised by a friend on my other obsession (Facebook) who was excited about today too! Sweet, lots of happiness at TBC this weekend, stay tuned to learn more about what is changing at TBC in the coming weeks!

Significance of a title?

As I am embarking on a new career, a much different full-time, never-ending at the end of the day career than Engineering, productivity improvements, tangible successess, promotions, rewards, etc., I have realized that so much of my identity has been tied up in what I do at work. Is that wrong? I don't think so, afterall, if you have a job outside of the home, you do spend the majority of your waking hours at your office, doing your job. So right away, almost without realizing I was doing it, I had to give myself a title. Hence the CEO position for the Breslin Corporation. It only seemed fitting ya know, to grab a new identity to live up to. I mean, heck, I was on the fast track at Frito Lay, so why not jump to the top in my new job. Straight to the top, the very highest position.....Cool, no, I wasn't going to settle for Director of Domestic Affairs, or to stay in my field of study and transition to a Domestic Engineer. I wanted the BIG job, THE job...so I took it, fast and furious!
Well, I was very quickly reminded, as I should have been, that my dear husband needed a title too. And he was going to take the highest rank. Wait a minute? I already had that position....nope, I am trumped....Brian is now Chairman of the Breslin Corporation. I had the slightest twinge of sadness that I didn't think of that first. BUT, it is only fitting, and quite relieving honestly, that he has this position as the complete head of our team! I am okay with that, and more importantly, thankful that I have a man that wants to be intricately involved with his family, even with all the things he does outside of the home. We are blessed here at The Breslin Corporation, from now on referred to as The Brez Corp, or TBC! So long for now.....
