A Tale of Two Jobs

Nate started his new job this week, supporting the buyer of boys/girls kids clothes at Target. He is super excited about the new gig, and I have been given strict order that I am no longer allowed to shop for clothes at Gymboree, Gap, or any place else for Finn (sorry buddy...). Baby Leo is still in the money because Nate doesn't support baby clothes...

Anyway, it has been quite the transition as Nate goes from working at his desk, in excel doing financial models all day to being in meetings all day and drowning in email. Which is pretty much my world every day.

I am starting to wonder what life will be like with BOTH of us in that situation. It's kind of fun because we can totally commiserate. But not fun, because I no longer receive my morning check-in call from Nate. So if anyone else feels like a morning check-in call, I usually am looking for my telephone to ring between 8-9AM....

Anyway, for all of you current (and future) kids clothes buyers, make sure you check-out Target, buy some clothes and think of Nate!!

Greta are you sure you want people thinking of Nate when they are shopping for kids clothes, or is this some sort of buttaphone foursquare twitter thing he is mayor of???
Uncle Todd
PS Nate, congrats on the new job.

You could definately sign me up for the am check-in if my cell phone worked at GL, but there is always email or days when I am at home. Hang in there! Love, Mom
