Peace.....At Last!

It's amazing what 7 hours of sleep can do for an over tired, emotionally exhausted mom. I feel better today.

It's Thursday and up until last night I had just had a stressful week. There is tension at work. Don't get me wrong, I love my job. The problem is a new person in the front office who is making the office very.....what's the word I'm looking for......well, there is tension in the air.

This woman never shuts up. I'm trying to have a conversation with a co-worker and she thinks I'm also speaking to her, so she butt's into the conversation. Have you ever met a person who is a chronic interrupter? That is this gal. She won't shut up and she get's into a conversation that she isn't even a part of. How can you be good at sales when you never stop talking? To be good you have to shut your mouth and open your ears. Guess she hasn't figured that out yet.

Ok, I don't want to get started on that again. I bet my blood pressure is through the roof.

I went to a networking thing today for the PMA. That's the Property Management Assoc of West Michigan. They had an open house at a brand new ritzy apartment complex in downtown Grand Rapids. If you ever go downtown when you are on I-196 just before the Ottawa exit, there is a HUGE brand new building on your right side....that's the Icon on Bond. This place is really something.

We got a tour, of course. Had food and wine. It was fun. This place has 8 different floor plans with one, two, and three bedroom apartments. They all have at least two bathrooms that are bigger than Johns bedroom and walk-in closets bigger than my first apartment. The ceilings are 9 ft. Makes the place look huge. Oh, and marble counters everywhere.

The coolest thing, I thought was a theatre on the second floor. It had four or five rows of extra large leather reclining theatre seats. Residents can reserve it for movies or sporting events. It's really something. Even has a bar in the theatre....like I already said, very ritzy!

So, that's what I did today. I met Jenny there and we had a nice time. We sat in the theatre seats drinking wine and I could have reclined back and taken a nap. Seriously! LOL

I didn't, I came home and fed the kids a snack before bed. Paul picked up Jourdan for the weekend and Jason is doing....whatever teenagers do. At the moment, all is quiet in the Watkins household. A very rare treat.
