When I don’t reach my desk until 12:30….
8:30 Breakfast with seminar speaker.
9:30 Deliver seminar speaker to airport.
9:31 On leaving airport get call from husband, relating that BigA’s got a migraine and needs to be picked up from school.
9:45 Arrive at school, discover kid has been sent back to class, wait for kid to come to office…
9:55… still waiting
10:05… still waiting
10:15 School office staff is finally able to get BigA to office from band class- a 3 minute trip.
10:30 Drop BigA off at home…
10:33 Leave house.
10:34 Hear emergency warning on the radio that the county is under a hurricane warning and worry that I just left kid at home, spend next 10 minutes tracking down which neighbors are at home that BigA can go to in case of scary weather.
10:44 Discuss lunch plan with husband by phone- its a special day for him so lunch plan will go forward… hmmm. what to do in the interim…
10:45 Discover I’m nearly out of gas
10:45-11:05 Get gas, call municipal court to see how we are going to get jury duty rescheduled to occur when I’m not in Chile, drop of summons at the court…
11:05…… Arrive at lunch location for special lunch with spouse. Try to be relaxed while feeling like there is no time to be relaxed.
12:20 Arrive at desk….. feel like the whole day is gone… because
There is no soccer practice today and the sitter has class at 5:30- so I’ll need to pick up LittleA at piano lessons at 5 pm, and pick up a few groceries to do special day cake baking… tonight….
Tomorrow: Wash, rinse, and repeat… except with the added twist of faculty meeting, dean’s holiday lunch, and meeting with seminar speaker #2- and hear seminar… Pray that I spend less time in my car tomorrow than I did today…
(NOT to be taken as complaining because my life is good, good, good- if not busy, busy, busy)…
