12 years ago today our lives changed in so many ways, and all for the better. Jagger Douglas Fugate was born I think around 3:59 in the afternoon after a 25 minute labor. The past dozen years have gone so so fast, it’s unbelievable.
Today we have his family party after school at 3 when Uncle T, Aunt B and Grandma will come over and then Jennifer will arrive at 5:30 for us to all go to dinner at Elway’s Restaurant. Ty picked out a special present for his brother and is just as excited for Jag as the birthday boy is for himself. He wants me to get him up super early so he can enjoy the entire day but I’m letting him sleep as it’s not even 5am yet.
Yesterday Lori went to the office for a bit and is back down there today. I’m chasing my last few po’s (purchase orders) for the year and dealing with mistakes by a couple of the kids (30 somethings) that work for me. Â Sometimes it amazes me how people don’t listen. Luisa, my girl who’s been with me forever and now lives in Lake Placid New York, called me around 7:30 last night saying she can’t believe these two people (who will remain nameless) didn’t read her emails with explicit instructions to follow so we’d have no mistakes. She said its like we’re coaches on a football team and the players are sometimes running the wrong way on the field and we can’t do anything about it! Oh well, after a flurry of emails by both of us to our wayward employees, we should have it fixed, hopefully. There’s always a lot of pressure as the entire year always comes down to the last few purchase orders at the end of the year. Hopefully next year I’ll have enough sales to have a cushion so I’m not so stressed in December. I’ll get it done somehow, that’s why I get the big bucks!
Today I need to run downtown as well. Lori is still not able to really eat a lot of solid food but is having yogurt and oatmeal, but is now down to about 124 pounds! I think I’ll call the restaurant to ask them to put a steak in the blender for her, yum! She’ll probably just have soup and ice cream.
Guess I’ll run to the gym. Christmas Eve is one week from today! Hope everyone is enjoying the season, take care and God Bless.
Happy Birthday Jag!
