Favorite time of day

My favorite time of day is at night when I am cuddled up with Marni on the couch. It is when we are snuggled together under the covers just before we fall asleep. My favorite time of day is when I walk through the door after work and see Lilly’s pure excitement to have me home, and then see the same excitement on Marni’s face. My favorite time of day is after Lilly has gone to bed and she wakes up so I get to go hold her. When she lays her head on my chest and goes back to sleep. My favorite time of day is on the weekends when Lilly wakes both Marni and I up, but then we stay in bed and let her play and poke us. My favorite time of day is anytime I am with my girls.

To err is Human...right?

This has nothing to do with anything right now, but due to some somewhat recent things, particularly at work, I have been thinking about this lately.
The counselor at my High School had a quote on her desk. I don’t remember exactly what it said, but basically, “Your accomplishments will never be remembered, and your failures will never be forgotten”. I don’t think it was there to put you down, but rather motivate you to not mess up and have those things mark your legacy. Since then I have always remembered that, not as a “if I screw up” but “when I screw up” that is what I will be remembered for.
I don’t think it is quite that dramatic. I think many people are remember for their greatness, and there mistakes are overshadowed and forgotten. But I do think we tend to focus more on peoples mistakes, and not enough on the good things about them. I guess what I worry about is when it comes to advancing at work or in life, both in position and monetarily, my mistakes will hold me back rather than my accomplishments moving me forward. I just have to work hard to have my accomplishments be such that they overshadow the mistakes enough that they are not noticed.

PS. Just in case you are wondering, I don’t feel that I often mess up, nor is it bad when I do, but I do think I make my fair share of mistakes, as everyone does. I just hope they are looked at individually, not all compiled, or else that could be a little overwhelming.

I'm a Slacker

I am suppose to be doing my homework right now, but I am a slacker and am not. Actually I was doing it until the program froze up, so I figured now is a good time for a break.
I am a little bit of a slacker though. I always put off doing my homework for some reason. Lately I think it is more the stress of work, and getting the Franklin house ready to move into. I just didn't want to add more stress. Of course I did just that, because as the end of the semester nears, and there is still homework to be done, I start to stress about it. The 16th will be a good day. That is the day we have to be out of are apartment and in the Franklin House. It also marks the first day of Christmas break from school. And hopefully work stress will be under control. That will be nice. I know it is not the new year yet, but I want to resolve right now to get things done early rather than later, especially with regards to school. I can start that in January with the beginning of the new semester. I also want to go have a nice detailed meeting with my advisor and set some organized planned out goals for getting done with school and the stress of it. Speaking of which, I better get back to my homework.
