We all know Mondays suck.
Each week, I will feature a Monday in the life of someone who can provide some comfort/humor/ inspiration to the start of your week.
Position | Company: I am the VP of Operations at Rose & Womble Realty.
One word to describe
Mondays to you? New. Everyday is completely different….especially
Mondays.
5:45am
Awake to Bryce's alarm (my son), not once, not twice, third time is a charm.
6:15am
Grinding of
the coffee beans…then the aroma of fresh brew coffee (Starbucks-Sumatra). I really should get up.
6:16am
Gary’s alarm
goes off. My sweet husband, religiously
goes downstairs and gets me coffee. This
time I really need to get up…and to beat Gary to the shower. This is especially true in the winter when we
are all vying for the hot water within the same time and really motivates me to
get up and in the shower!
7:30am
Plan what’s
for dinner. I take pleasure in feeding
the family. Sunday through Thursday I
plan dinners. Fridays are my nights off
and Saturday I wing it. Tonight, Chicken
Marsala. Need to defrost the chicken.
7:45am
Start my 50
minute commute to the office, I live in Southern Chesapeake and work in
Virginia Beach. I start making phone
calls during this time (Bluetooth guys….safety first)
8:35am
In the
office. I check in with the others about their weekend. Check emails, return VM. Need to work on end of month reports then
appointments. First one is at 10:00
AM. Every day is completely
different. Some days are spent in the
offices and others are spent driving around our 10 offices or outside
appointments. My favorite part of my job
is spending time with our agents, title people and loan officers. They truly are the ones that make the magic
happen!
2:00pm
I am
starving. I normally don’t eat breakfast
typically eat around 12:30, but had too many appointments. Tomato soup with basil, my fav. I start
drinking water throughout the day.
4:00pm
I am Chairman
of Rose & Womble’s Foundation. We have been fortunate enough to have the
support of the community that has made us #1 in Hampton Roads. We are committed to return the favor and help
those that are less fortunate in the community.
We have a meeting to purchase 1000 meals for Thanksgiving. We have done fundraisers all year, and
accept donations through Paypal.
5:00pm
Stay clear of
the door, everyone leaves. I finish of
some computer work, and make the last of phone calls and leave.
6:20pm
Check in with
everyone and we chat about our day.
Bryce is going to work out and my daughter Kaitlin is bartending tonight.
6:45pm
I change and
get Kane (Kaitlin’s dog) ready for a walk (2 bags included because one is never
enough!)
7:30pm
Back home and
time to start dinner. Bryce gets home
around 7:45 and Gary is starving..
8:45pm
Clean up the
kitchen and prepare the coffee for the morning.
9:15pm
Bryce’s
birthday is coming up and I am researching online for a gift. He is so easy to buy for. Wednesday is his birthday and I need to
coordinate the celebration. My mother
always made it a point to make sure our birthdays were special, because she
felt like it was OUR special day. I have
tried to continue the tradition.
10:00pm
Kaitlin comes
home and we talk about her night
11:00pm
Bedtime…
prayers and I normally fall asleep before I finish. Goodnight!
Nothing out of the
ordinary for the day. I love my
life. I have a great balance of a job
that I enjoy and family and friends that I love. I am blessed.
