I'm BACK!!!
I actually returned from my trip away to Ottawa on Tuesday night but things have been very busy with lots of things going on!!
Ottawa was a very interesting trip. While I was there the American President rolled into town with 400 of his closest aides. This closed down airports, streets and even some shops (I think the owners may have been out trying to catch a glimpse of him (read throw a rock at!)
Aside from that very interesting little bit of excitement the days were long, the nights were lonely and traveling by yourself to an unfamiliar city with demonstrators everywhere around you (my hotel was 2 or 3 blocks from Parliament hill) really does suck!
On my way back from Ottawa, I gave Colleen a call to tell her I wasn't coming to pool and was greeted by my sobbing friend's little "hello..." Clearly things were not going well and when she broke her news to me that her Dad had been diagnosed with the "Big C" just that afternoon...well the rush was on to get home to be there in her absence. I made it just in time to organize the guys on the team into winning spirits. They really aren't good at decision making, keeping score or anything besides playing pool! Anyway, Colleen called me later that night to let me know that although the diagnosis was made, the prognosis was not...more to follow on that one! Please keep Colleen and her family in your prayers!!
After a long day on Tuesday and not seeing my hubby and kids for 3.5 days, I decided to go into work a little later than usual and spend some time with my gang at home. I didn't go in till around 8:30am. It was our wedding anniversary after all and the least i could do is give him a taste of what I was sure he had been missing, in fact I increased the dosage by 10cc's (just kidding!, an increase of that much rat poison all at once...clearly he would notice!!) Anyway by about 8 o'clock he was napping in the chair and the furthest thing from his mind was reminiscing about our wedding day 9 years ago!
Off to work and a busy day it was getting ready for today's presentation to a wonderfully satisfied client! (sarcasm at it's finest!, I clearly get all the good ones!)
Last night when I got home, dinner was being made by the eldest daughter (a very nice schnitzel dinner by the way!!!) and the entire family spent a quality 10 minutes together before making their way off to their other engagements. Hubby left for work at 9pm and I left for my Wednesday night standing date with my other spouse that will soon be moving away!
Dammit another late night and therefore a very painful awakening this morning! Two meetings today and another late night today since it's the girls night to show those boys in the pool hall just what we are all about!
Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday and for me the end of a long week and beginning of a long 4 day weekend since I don't have to be back at work until Wednesday.
Hope all is well with you and remember to say "I love you" even if you're having a bad day!
Hugs!!
