I feel a little guilty that I have been AWOL lately, but I literally haven't had a spare second in the day. It makes me wonder how people with children manage to do everything, because I can barely manage my own life.
David and I went to Las Vegas over Labor Day weekend, and I have lots of restaurant reviews to share. But the truth is that I haven't cooked much since I returned. Here is a list of things that have happened since then:
1. Work is insanely busy. I have an appellate brief due at the beginning of October, a case scheduled for hearing that same week and a mediation the following week. That's on top of all of the depositions, meetings, and other miscellaneous pleadings that need to be filed in claims that don't have huge deadlines.
2. Rehearsals--On Golden Pond is just two weeks out from opening. Although I'm very pleased with how the show is shaping up, I don't get home until 9:30 at night.
3. David left Las Vegas and went to a training in Colorado. This means that care of the house and the Grande Dame Ingrid has totally fallen to me. This might have been more manageable if we didn't lose power for the better part of three days last week, wiping out the contents of the fridge and freezer.
I will be back in a couple of weeks once the appellate brief is underway and the show is open. In the meantime, I'm going to try not to feel guilty about this blogging vacation, which is a challenge considering my finely-honed sense of guilt.
Looking forward to catching up with everyone then!
Well, I'm glad you've got that sense of guilt all finely honed and everything. :)
ReplyDeleteDo your priorities fall this way: hubs, career, theater activities, blog? If that's the correct order in your heart than you're following that path and the universe is in balance. :)
Take time off. We'll all be here when you return. Good luck with work, the play, and holding down the fort. Can't wait to hear about yor Vegas trip and so sorry about the contents of your freezer.
ReplyDeleteTake some time to focus on your other things otherwise you'll wear yourself out! Best of luck with everything, see you in a few weeks!
ReplyDeleteHappens to the best of us! Good Luck with the opening, no need for the guilt, we'll still be here! From one of those people with children (4, no less!) xxx
ReplyDeleteHey... don't feel guilty. We will be waiting for you to come back.... just do what you need to do. Just reading how much you have going on exhausted me. :) I hope your appeal goes well... your opening night a total success and home life a little more "boring" so you can just relax. :) Take care! ~ Ramona
ReplyDeleteAt least it's been exciting! Glad to hear you're back, my friend =D
ReplyDeleteDon't feel guilty at all - sounds like things have been crazy for you. My heart broke a little when I read about your three-day power outage. Hope you get back in the kitchen soon!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - you have been busy and have had some unpleasant things to deal with! Your blog is the last thing you should be worrying about! We're still here and will be when you return, but for now - deal with your life and all the things that have been thrown at you and drop the guilt! Take care of yourself and we'll see you when you get back!Lots of hugs!
ReplyDeleteDon't feel guilty at all my friend, sometimes life does not get in the way - glad to know you are back and we are always here for you, promise :D
