Go, me.

Well, I made it to Jackson Hole with no issues. My supplies had arrived as scheduled, so I did not have to make a last minute run into town to use the Staples printing service. I managed to hold my own in a table-side conversation with one of our meeting attendees, to the point that she included me in a follow up email (along with two VP's and our top lawyer) when she sent a newsletter from a professional organization that had an article related to what we had discussed. The first meeting I had set up for my Board members did not have a speaker phone set up as it should, but I managed to get it in place in time to avoid being a disruption. The meetings went about as expected, except for two last minute cancellations, resulting in the addition of some more phone participation and a late night stop in the staff office to fax 40+ pages of handouts. I managed to take notes, despite the introduction of a motion that, I swear to God I am not exaggerating here, was three paragraphs long and took up almost a quarter of the page. I got through the entire week without doing anything stupid like cursing in front of a Board member or walking into the wrong bathroom or spilling coffee on my shirt. And I got my draft notes done today, a mere three business days following the meeting (the target in my yearly objectives is 5-7 business days- you better believe that this is being marked on the calendar so I remember that I did it). But, oh my damn, I am wiped out.

Who's Who

    Hubby- aka DH My husband since 1995. He is the head of the band department at a college prep school, and dabbles as a wanna-be pop star.

    The Princess- aka DD. Third grader at the local parochial school. Loves butterlies, sparkly things, the color purple and has recently developed a crush on one of the twins from "The Suite Life of Zach and Cody". Is ready for her teenage years, having already perfected her exasperated sigh and dramatic eye-roll.

    Hoss- aka DS1. Kindergartener and resident spirited child. His aunt likes to call him "the evil genius" because of his penchant for letting a lack of intellectual stimulation lead him into mischief. Likes trucks, sports, building things and burping. His current favorite word is "underwear."

    Lil Joe- aka DS2. Born in 2003. Doesn't say much we can understand, but has mastered the important stuff ("eat!", "Wash hands!", "Want chocolate ones!", "Hockey game!") Likes to push buttons, much to the consternation of whoever is trying to watch a DVD. Firmly refuses to use the potty, despite evidence that he is physically ready to be out of diapers, indicating a level of stubborn that eclipses even that of his parents and siblings.

    Me? I'm the Mama. That's all you need to know.
