awkward moments

You know those moments when it’s super awkward in the office and suddenly you just “wanna get away?”

Yep - had one of those today. Personal phone conversation with the (usually most awesome) hubby. We were discussing an upcoming vacation and where to stay, which should have been fun to talk about, but really wasn’t. We were trying to discuss this while there was real work going on (for both of us). It was something that we couldn’t put off any longer which made it frustrating (for both of us) and ultimately it a tense conversation. 

Yuck.

The worst part to me (because really - after as long as we’ve been married, the occasional tense conversation isn’t a big deal) was that I didn’t want that negative energy to seep into my office or for anyone at work to have to sense my tension. 

Just saying - sometimes it’s pretty tough to keep the work life and home life separate, especially in our home of two busy professionals with our busy kids. Work interruptions happen (part of life), but in the future, if a conversation starts to get to that level of frustrating - my plan is to diffuse the tension, get a resolution and get off the phone as quick as possible. Deal with the issue, move on and end the whole conversation in the most pleasant manner possible (for both his and my sanity).

After the tense portion of our conversation, we ended by talking about a very yummy pot roast that my most awesome hubby was making for dinner tonight. Ahhhh - comfort food. 

Yep - he’s a super, awesome hubby who COOKS (and he would add CLEANS up the kitchen mess when he’s done).
