Attempting to adjust to the Empty Nest by improving it and finding a new normal.

Wondering on how to get unstuck.....

Just got back from a business trip for work for training that really wasn't necessary for me or the coworker I went with.  And if it wasn't enough stress with being away from home for four days, while we were gone, our manager gave his two week notice.  This can go two different ways, good or bad.  The good way would be to bring in someone new to take over or to promote a qualified person from within.  The bad way is to promote the next successor in line.  This will not work and I hope the powers that be will choose WISELY.  The name of this post has to do with all of this..... doing the same thing over and over again keeps you STUCK.  This office has been running like this, in a STUCK in position FOREVER.  And that is the reason I left there way back in 2005.  And then I made the big mistake and went back to work there this past August.  I am unsure if I like being stuck and I do it subconsciously or if this opportunity to come back was done to prepare me and give me for what could be coming.... which hopefully could be a promotion or a step forward of some sort.  And this can help me keep very busy when this nest really empties in August.  So here I wait with bated breath for some sort of direction.  Hopefully to Unstuck land I will be heading.

Welcome

Welcome to my little blog. Today is my birthday and this blog is a present to myself, a little bit of sanity in a crazy world. My hope is to be able to adapt to the Empty Nest limbo that is upon my husband and myself.  Our son is set to graduate this May from college and our daughter will be heading off to college in the Fall.  I am hoping that I am getting ahead of myself, and that our son will come back home for a bit, before heading out on his own.  But he keeps telling me that he will be moving out on his own once he graduates....so we will see.  This little blog will help document the Empty Nest Syndrome, my way of dealing with it and all the stuff in between... real life, working, assist in running a family business and "refluffing the nest"....and you know what that means.....the possibility of having an "extra" bedroom or two to take over for myself.  I hope you will follow along with my journey and thanks for stopping by.
