| Would love to look this way. |
I have my big girl panties on. I am sitting in a hotel room...alone, on the eve of my entry into the world
"upper management." For the past seven years, I have managed a retail store and more times than I can count, it managed me. Starting in the morning, I get a company car, company phone, company computer and responsibility for not one but eight stores. These panties are stretching!

Life started out very differently for me. In 1974, you were still allowed to say out loud that your life goal was to marry and have children. It was certainly mine, I married, had four children, followed a hubby around the United States via the United States Air Force. I wore mommy panties then and was never anywhere alone...ever. Ever.
I approached my current career with the same zeal and expectations I approached my mommy career with. I wanted it to be exciting and fun for myself and my four young co-horts. For part of those years I home schooled three of my children and we had great fun. We ran a little wild, played on the beach, dissected things and collected lots af crazy things.
Then they grew up and demoated me to just mom. So I went to work, found co-horts closer to my own age, some fun....some not, but all were interesting and led me to here. I learned how to react, when to react but most of the time just learned to be quiet and let the other guy look like an idiot. When I say guy...I mean guy, I work in a man business...liquor.
Ten years later, I am in a hotel room by myself, new wardrobe, new expectations, nervous anticipations, drinking complimentary bottled water, texting hubby (who I miss) and wanting chocolate to ease my nerves.
I am excited for the new changes, looking forward to new challenges, looking to the future with an unfamiliar expectation of what the future holds. I think I like it.
