My "Not-to-Do" List

I read about two sentences of a blog tonight and it said something about a "not-to-do" list.  I thought what a great concept.  Although I'm dressed to get on the treadmill because I NEED to get on the treadmill and lose 10lbs in 3 weeks, I am not because I've been watching the entire season of Scandal with Carey.  So check item #1 one off my "not-to-do" list.
      1. run on the treadmill
      2. have an evening snack
      3. work

I'll keep the list short, it's already 10:15 pm.  It's time to snuggle with my husband.  The one that after 5 years and almost 5 months, is still the love of my life.  He should be we've got forever to go and that's an awfully long time.

I have a sinus infection/cold or some crud that is kicking my butt.  I guess I'll listen to my husband and take the medicine he so lovingly stopped at CVS to get for me.  Hopefully it'll help me sleep, in fact I know it will.

I read quite a few blogs and I think, I'm creative, I'm funny (sometimes) why can't I think of some of this stuff...guess I'm not as funny as I think I am.

So my bog is titled a day in the life of Gwen...what happened today?

Carey left for work and I finished getting ready/dressed for work and then went to wake Claire up, like her father, she loves to sleep.  She wakes up, like her mother (Thank God), happy and with a smile on her face.  It's the best face you've ever seen, cutest thing in the world and although all Mom's say that (I know my Mom did ;) ), gosh darn it she is.  She laughed and tries to hide under her arm and crawl to the other side of the bed so I won't grab her.  It's funny.   I get her dressed, but a bow in her hair (No bow, no Go right?) and we head to the kitchen to finish making my coffee (Carey has turned on the Keurig, yes we're spoiled), Claire so sweetly leans a bit to her left and looks into the living room and says "Daddy?"  as if to say where are you daddy?  SHA BA BAE.  It was so cute.

I dropped her off at "school" which we love and she cried a little, but got sidetracked quickly (like her mother) and went on to playing with the toys.  I went on to work, 10 minutes late as usual (but I also stay late too) and went about my day.  Had breaking news that the COO's last day was in fact today, which I found out about 30 minutes prior to the mass email being sent out to the company...interesting and shortly after that a few ex-Amed employees texted me and vice versa with questions and confirmation that they already knew about it.  WOW, word does travel fast.  I don't enjoy seeing anyone lose their jobs but at the same time I believe we all have to remember why it is we go to work and do what we do.  I think he made some poor decisions and I think he also made some good ones.  I'm anxious to see/hear the details of the most recent change in our company.  May be like the JFK assassination...you never know and I'm sure there are a number of conspiracy theories going around about what is going on.  Lauren (Aicklen) was off today and I called her upon finding out and she says "Why does everything happen when I'm not there."  Poor darlin.  She's my bff at work.  I'm not sure she knows that another friend of hers put in her two weeks notice and is leaving.  It hasn't been announced yet but b/c we're in HR we sometimes and often times find out things long before most people do.  I'll update you tomorrow on what that is once I ask said person...she'll admit or open up then.

On another note I have several leads on job opportunities, all of which could be great for my HR career and possibly financially beneficial.  I'm not sure about what direction any of them are taking me but I do know I need to pray about them and I also need to chat with my boss about them.  I know she'll support me and that is both a blessing and a curse.  Everything happens for a reason.  It's just that everything is also happening so quickly at Amedisys.  Layoffs, closures, Bill leaves, KKR gets a seat on our Board of Directors, more people get canned, people are leaving left and right and now Patrick is gone.  We have no CEO or COO.  We need some HELP.

Amedisys helps so many families everyday, we do good work.  God will not let this company go down.  We, with Ronnie's help, will build it back up.  It'll just take some time.  I'm just not sure how much time we have.

Now, it's bed time.  Good Night.
