Life has been at a whirl wind speed. I am struggling trying to keep things anchored down. The winds will let up soon, and I will have to clean up the debris and carry on.
I decided to go up for promotion this year. A big promotion. From Extension associate professor, to Extension full professor. I have realized, I work hard! I accomplish alot! I hire wonderful people! I have a great husband who supports and loves me. I have the best mom and dad who gave up tons of time to work with me on this. I have great kids who never ever complained that I was mentally and physically missing this summer.
BUT, it is 99.5% done. I have one more review from the committee. And then edits and then off it goes. Keeping my fingers crossed that all is well. But, meanwhile, I feel like it's something I am going to release and let go. I gave my best shot and fought hard. So, while I may not win out with the promotion. I know that I have done a great job of stewardship over the SNAP-Ed program.
Okay, now for debris. I have things to change in my life. I saw this awesome weight loss video today and it is motivation to me. That I will eat clean!
I can do this!
