Coburn Kids

Caden’s feedings have actually been going better.  He’s back to taking a full bottle about twice a day now!  Nothing’s really changed other then we put the feeding tube back in and I suppose he’s calmed down more now.  He loves to suck on his arm now, no idea why not the hands, fists, or fingers.  Just turns his head and get’s that arm up there to suck on.  It’s funny because it’s the most uncordinated thing you’ve ever seen.

This week was actually pretty quiet, we only had the OT come. Besides that didn’t really have to rush around to get out of the house or anything like that.  It was a nice break. Next week is more craziness but it happens to be a good thing as I’m getting bored!

I have about 40 boxes to ship out this week to across the nation and international. I run a web community and am sending some presents to my staff.  It’s kind of cool that I get to love what I do so much… I talk to people from Honk Kong, Singapore, Italy, Poland, Israel, Australia, Scotland, Canada, Denmark, the UK and from the east to west coast of the US every day. Just to even give you a better idea of who I get to work with I’ll give you a little snapshot of them. My staff consists of people from ages 14-52. Both male and female. Both gay and straight. In every time zone. Income ranges from $0 (college kids, and… well a 14 year old) to a multi-millionare. Yes, it’s my great pleasure and pride to actually be able to say that I get to tell someone who makes money I could only dream of what to do on a daily basis. Just to give you an idea, he bought himself a helicopter for his birthday (they cost $400k if anyone was wondering) and has a house staff of 40. My staff has jobs ranging from a college professor, computer analyst, consultants, a chef, college students, unemployed, engineers, steel worker, writers, graphic designers and more! They are married, single, divorced, have partners or are engaged. Some have children others childless (and some childless by choice).  They come from diverse religious backgrounds ranging from hindu, buddhism, atheist, wiccan, baptist, catholic, methodist, lutheran and agnostic. 

I’m pretty blessed to be able to communicate with and diversify myself with such a broad range of people that I truly respect. To hear their ideas, talk with them about their lives. Some have such different viewpoints on the world and values, I have to step back every day and realize that they come from different lifestyles, upbringings and environments. It’s one of the reasons I love what I do so much. Puts me in my place, certainly opens my mind and truly let’s me see the world from a different perspective.
