Value of Time

I had to attend a supervisor meeting today and the main thing that we were asked to consider is the value of time. What is important to me, at work and at home? What types of things can complicate life and interfere with those things? It was quite interesting because as a supervisor you have to be very careful what you do. Developing friendships with non supervisors can lead to trouble down the road or asking the wrong questions can have the same affect.

The point is we have choices but our choices, even though they seem harmless, can bite us right in the butt. As a supervisor I need to understand how my choices can affect what I value and ultimately how it will affect my time and how I feel during that time.

I think about time everyday. I am a single mom raising two kids that change so much from day to day. It makes me sad sometimes to know they will one day have lives of their own and I might be an afterthought in their lives. That scares me to death because they are all I have..

Time is something I struggle with constantly. I am hours from flying to the east coast where I will not see my DD for 393 hours. That is assuming my flight home is not delayed. I know in my head that as a seaman I get far more time with my daughter than many men who are 'home' every night. However, in my heart, and the heart of my DD, 393 hours is an eternity that brings nothing but pain and tears.
Carpe Diem.

Living Single – Feeling Left Out

Last night I attended a church meeting hoping to make some connections. Since my divorce a couple years ago I have struggled with making new contacts and friends. I have noticed that my patience for people has even diminished causing me to isolate myself more than normal. I guess I have lost confidence in others because of the divorce. To be honest I really didn’t pay much thought to it but recently I have begun to examine myself to see if I can figure out what is going on. The meeting was good but unfortunately the group was not what I was looking for. I was surrounded by people in their 20’s and/or families in their 30’s. As a single parent I really feel left out, even more so as a single dad. There seems to be a class or a group for single women but rarely for single dads. I would love a class like that! As a man living single is very hard. I really want to do what is right but I struggle with desires and female companionship. I often pray to God to help me be happy with where I am ...

The Other Daddy

I may need a reality check here so correct me if I am wrong.  If a father is very active in his kid's life and even has primary custody should the children call their step father, daddy?  I know there are situations out there where step dads become the regular dad becuase he isn't around and I think that is great.  However, I can see my ex really getting my goat by convincing my daughter to call her step dad, "daddy".  I think she should call him by his first name.  Do I make an issue out of this or let it go?  However, it does bother me a bit, okay more than a bit.

Getting all the Breaks

Have you ever noticed that some people seem to catch a lot of breaks while others seem to always get passed by? Not that I have a hard life or am lacking but I have noticed that there are a few things I am constantly striving for that shouldn't be out of reach for some reason they continually slip through my fingers. For example: There is this young couple that bought tickets to win a home, they WON... several years later they bought a couple more and won again. Here I am trying to pay off debt so I can buy a home and it seems that there is one thing after another that is pushing farther and farther in debt. I am not trying to gripe but I wonder sometimes why some seem to have an easier go at life while others don't. Is it the past choices they made? I know when it comes to a good portion of my life if I would of listened to God and not married the woman I did my life would be much simpler, yet I would not have been blessed with the wonderful little girl that I have. And...
