Scrambled memory chip.

My older son was listening to me convey just how tired my brain was from all the thinking I had to do this week. I must have made things sound much worse than they really are in the midst of all my complaining. I remember saying something about being frazzled and everything sounding like gibberish by the end of the week. My son being the robot fanatic that he is suggested that people should be made like robots and when this happens it is an easy fix. It seems that in his opinion fixing a "scrambled memory chip" is as simple as running to the nearest parts store to buy memory chips. I had to smile because clearly he thought I was more broken that a simple nap could fix.

Headed home.

Another week of training has concluded and for a couple of days I can put away my textbooks and concentrate on my family. The only thing making these weeks meaningful is the fact that when it is all said and done I will have a great job. Being able to settle in knowing that I have job security and the ability to provide for my family is a great feeling. As hard as it has been to be away from them I know that it is all going to be worth it in the end. As confused as I have been by trying to take in so much complex information in a brief amount of time I have to trust that it will all come together at some point and make sense. For now I am just going to relax and let my brain rest.

Almost the weekend!

This is my fourth week of being away from home and living in a hotel. It also marks the half way point in my training time for this new job. Thankfully this is a long holiday weekend and I will get to spend 3 nights in my own bed. This hotel has been wonderful but great beds and cozy indoor lighting are no substitute for the feeling of being curled up under your own covers with someone you love. We have so much planned to get done this weekend that I am sure the time at home will just fly by but it still will be nice while it lasts.
