Greetings from Nevada! I hope it’s been a great week.
Well…the Seahawks didn’t win. My kiddo was bummed. He still wants to watch this weekend’s games and the Super Bowl but he will definitely be less invested. I’m hoping the 49ers win and the Titans. We’ll see if I end up correct. My guess is, it will actually be the Chiefs, but who knows?
One thing I have decided, I don’t think I’ll ever not be busy, at least as long as I have a job and three kids in my house. It is always something! As much as I love my job, and I really, really do, I miss the days when I could be home with my kids. I miss not having to miss things!
Right now, work is really crazy! We have some big events that are all happening at the same time, and it is keeping us majorly busy. I know it won’t be like this forever, but when I am spending all day, and most of the evening working, just to keep my head above water…and still falling behind, I feel defeated! Especially when I miss stuff for my kids.
Last weekend, while I was in Dallas, I missed two basketball games each for Analise and Antonio. I got home on Sunday and was able to spend time with them. Then, I turned around and had to travel to California on Tuesday morning and didn’t come back until Wednesday. On Tuesday, I missed basketball games for both of them again. I hate missing their games. Especially when they get to play a lot, which they both did on Tuesday.
Tuesday, in California, things were…not awesome. We were there to video as part of a documentary we are doing for Fanbooks and our relationship with youth sports. As I was showing how the system works, it wasn’t working how it was supposed to. Frustrated doesn’t even cover it.
At the same time, I had spent the entire drive to California working on editing photos for our Fanbooks system for the USA Football International Bowl event. They were supposed to be provided to us already edited. That was, unfortunately, not the case. On top of editing the photos, we have seven books to build for their event. While this isn’t a complicated process, it is slightly tedious.
The rest of the week was absolutely nuts for me with work. I spent the majority of my time working on the books, taking phone calls, dealing with Internet issues while working from home on Friday, etc. Needless to say, it was one heck of a week! The bright spot? I got to watch Isaiah’s first basketball game this season on Saturday morning.
As I’m writing this, I have one more book to build and it is Saturday night. I hope to have it finished before bed, so I better get to it. Sunday, I’m going on a date with my husband, who has been holding down the fort while I’ve been working like a mad woman. I also hope to get in a nap…we’ll see!
Until next week, make it a great one!
Amy
