Boston

So, I am in Boston right now. Really missing my babies, Kate and Brett. Poor Brett is home very sick and Kate is at my parents. She seems to not miss me at all, only giving a two-second, courtesy "mama" on the phone before handing it back and running off.

It is hard traveling for work and not feeling any love or camaraderie around you. It must be so much easier for men to do this. Work is so strict on costs these days that I can't have breakfast because there is nothing at the hotel that is within the approved cost for a morning meal.

I am glad that ultimately I really enjoy what I do. I like seeing the finished product and getting everything poised and ready for the sales team to come and do their business. Even though no one appreciates what my team does we still find satisfaction in doing it.

I have a view of the convention center and the flags are at half-mast for 9/11. Kind of hard not to feel a little down being away from my family and remembering that horrible day. I am grateful for the health and well-being of my family and my heart goes out to those that suffered such a tremendous loss 8 years ago.
