Blue Eyes told me Noel's talent show was on Friday at 8:30 and I don't know why I thought it was a night, because 8:30 would be a pretty late start for elementary school kids, but I did, and I was surprised to learn on Thursday that I would need some time away from work on Friday morning.

It was hard to juggle, with a morning conference call and getting Baby Girl to day care, but then it was made twice as hard when Noel called to say she had forgotten the props for her skit at home...

I dropped what I was doing, got Noel's things, finished up breakfast with Baby Girl, lost my keys, looked for my keys, looked more for my keys...... found my keys, got the props to Noel at school, dropped off Baby Girl at day care and got back home in time for the conference call, which ended right on time because I said I had to get to my daughter's talent show and where I work that is a good reason to wrap up a meeting.
