Random Thoughts and Today’s Workout
Such a long weekend yet such a short one.
Work starts in about an hour and I really just don’t want to. Oh well. At least I’m working from home today. My boss wants me to run a billing cycle LSS project, but doesn’t want to include the payment part from AP. Ummmm. Excuse me that is where the bottle neck is. The invoices get to AP just fine, but they don’t go out because there aren’t enough funds allocated to paying them. I’m supposed to pull a cross functional team and I don’t think she wants the whole company to know how jacked up our accounting is.
I saw myself as a kid today when we were out shopping. A really chubby little boy who was stuffed into a little league uniform. I just wanted to go over and shake his parents. Growing up as a fat kid is not easy. In fact it’s the only thing I really hold against my parents. Put some healthy food into that kid. Take the time to cook dinners. Make him exercise. He may resent it now, but he’ll thank you later. I remember at age 14 telling my Dad I didn’t want a gym membership. How I wish now that he would have said "Tough S@#t". The only thing worse is the chubby kids walking around the mall with Super Mario T-shirts on. Look I understand that parents are out of time these days and have to cut corners, but damn it you’re putting your child at such a disadvantage in life.

I agree 100%. I see my 5 year old nephew starting to go down this road. My sister-in-law is a great Mother except when it comes to exercise and nutrition. I’ve tried talking to her but she gets so defensive about it and I don’t want to cause a rift in the family. All I can do is be a positive role model and hope that I can have some influence on my nephew’s lifestyle as he gets older. Frustrating though!
