The Next Seven Weeks

In the next seven weeks we have:

re-building the shipping system

all the end-of-school activities of which I've not yet been notified

advance copies of Sharp End of the Stick (SEOS)

a school art gala

opening pre-orders for SEOS

Kiki's AP art portfolio

receiving the SEOS shipment

teaching at LDS Storymakers conference

sending me to the Nebula weekend in DC

a time-swap week during which Gleek will pretend to be living in a pre-computer era

sending Howard to World Steam Expo in Ann Arbor

a dance festival

a week long visit from my mom

office remodeling

unspecified child crises which will pop up randomly and inconveniently

field day

preparations for Deep South Con in June

All of those things are important, as are preparations for GenCon and WorldCon. But this week contains the most important event of the entire year. This is when Howard and I gather the kids and flee our work to go do nothing in particular in southern Utah. The only agenda is to be together. Hopefully fun will be had, but even if crankiness is had, that is fine. Uninterrupted time together is the point.

As for the other stuff, I'm not particularly stressed about it all. I can see where everything fits. It is going to be busy, but not crazy. I hope.
