    Today I interviewed with another product owner manager as well as the product owner who I would share responsibility with if I get the job at Willis Towers Watson and leaders of the software development and information technology departments. Because they are looking for someone to take ownership over the IT support group and because…

    I went in to work slightly later this morning so that I could help Laura get kids out the door for the chiropractor. It’s another example of why I need a more flexible work environment. I got some good things done at work but my day was interrupted by two interesting phone calls. First was…

    Laura came and took all the kids’ phones two days ago. She declared that they wouldn’t give them back until we had a plan working for a week to keep the house running and rooms cleaned. She even his the phones from me (although Savannah’s alarm within a couple of hours told me where they…

    I try not to interfere with Laura’s endless dead end projects since trying to dissuade her only leads to discord and chaos. That being said, it is still frustrating to watch her spend countless hours and measurable funds on talks which she imagines will bear some great fruit but which will do little more than…

    After midnight last night, while I was mostly asleep Laura shared many more details of what Tamra had told her about the missing money. Even in my semiconsciousness I had to conclude that the odds of Mariah being guilty were much higher than I had known. Today Laura looked in Mariah’s room and quickly located…

    Laura and I had the task of asking Mariah if she had taken money from a friend. Money had gone missing the day that her friend had shown it to her and Tamra Adamson had the uncomfortable task of telling Laura about it. We are hoping that they find the money because we don’t believe…

    Laura asked if I could come home early to meet with the school counselor and Ezra’s teacher at the end of school – he had had a day. When they asked him to tell us what happened all he said was that he was going to get a donut. Apparently he kept trying to leave…

    We managed to get things cleaned up for the start of the week. I mowed the lawn, the kids folded the laundry, finished the dishes, and (bribed by a dinner at Pizza Pie Cafe) cleaned the whole house. I also put enough encouragement on Laura that she was able to try on the pants for…

    The kids auditions for Peter pan went very well according to Laura. She was obviously right because the casting apparently too less than an hour and Alyssa got the party of Smee alongside Isaac as Captain Hook. Laura had told me that they had read together for those two parts (with both of them trying…

    I had talked about working on Alyssa’s room today but instead I fixed the rabbit pen, laid carpet in the downstairs hallway, put up the new Roman shades that arrived today, and got all the kids to and from school at their appointed times. At the same time, Laura was going to her therapist and…
