What I thought was going to be a half hour conference call this afternoon turned into four and half hours of work. I planned on us having school after the call. Didn't work. I planned on going to the product sales committee meeting after dinner. Had to call and cancel. The hours are good. But I can't take much more of this.
This morning I signed Violet up for swim lessons. I wanted to get her into morning classes, but that didn't work out. She's in Monday evening classes. She could have started tonight, but I asked to wait until next week (their classes are ongoing). I'm glad we didn't try to go. If it took me until almost 10:00 tonight to catch up, that would have had me up until nearly midnight!
I am excited about her classes. They limit the class size to 4 kids. Some run with fewer kids. I think that will be a good fit for her.
Tomorrow we go into my office to deliver Girl Scout cookies. And take 3 huge boxes of paperwork in from this last project. I'll be so glad to get rid of it! Plus I have to drop my work-issue lap top off for the IT department to do some upgrades while we are there. Don't know if I've told you all the tales of Mr. I. not liking this laptop (it is Windows) and not allowing it to be on our all Mac network. It is causing me great difficulties with work. Next time upgrades are needed he's going to have to talk to them directly. I refuse to stay in the middle of his stubbornness and theirs any longer. He's got to get it through his thick skull that they are requiring me to have it and use it for certain aspects in order to keep my freakin' job. I can quit my job or he can figure out a way to play nicely with them. The IT idiots aren't any better. They refuse to talk to me so I can explain what I do and how I do it. They won't answer my questions. They just shipped me the computer and said "use it". End of discussion.
Get the idea that I'm not looking forward to seeing any of the IT department tomorrow? I want nothing to do with it and I really hope I don't run into the department head while I have Violet in tow.
On the plus side, we should be finished with the icky part of the day no later than 1:00, then we are going out to lunch and swim suit shopping for Violet on our way home. I think some chocolate is going to be in order as well.
Sounds like another day with no school work being accomplished.

Hope all goes well.
(hugs)
I'm looking into swim lessons for my P this year as well.
Chocolate? MMM
I'm pretty sure delivering Girl Scout cookies counts as schoolwork. I'm not sure exactly how -- maybe making change? -- but I always write it down in our log.
And even if it doesn't count, it should.
