Whilst Margie was having a fabulously successful time at her conference, giving a talk so inspiring that a major figure at the conference asked her to speak at another conference in the spring …
… I got to dance and dodge through a long, long day of conference calls, three of which included some roundly unpleasant (if unavoidable) personnel issues.
I headed out of the house about quarter of 3 because I needed to pick up Kitten from the Goodson spring break program in time to get over to Lone Tree for Kitten’s karate class at 4:45, but also in time for yet another major conference call from 4-5. Except, of course, not only were the kids not back from their Skate City field trip by 3:00 as promised, but not by 3:30, either. Nor 3:45. Finally, about 3:50, the bus pulled up.
Roared (figuratively and literally) off to Lone Tree, got there in time to be about 10 minutes late for the call … which ran until 5:30, rather than 5.
Fortunately, Kitten took care of herself well before the class, did well in the class, had fun with me at dinner at Chili’s, and sat very politely and quietly in my karate class from 7-8.
Home again, home again, jiggety-jig. A long, long day …
