WORK!
Yes, despite the fact that I was on "vacation," we still had our biweekly regulatory meeting, and seeing as how I am the designated scrivener/roll taker/clerk/table arranger for the event, I had to show up. Which created no small amount of problems at the house, in that Reba's mom and dad were supposed to be off in the mountains on vacation (they actually didn't leave until Thursday), and although the three older kids could be trusted to stay home by themselves, the addition of a certain youngest child created MUCH more potential for mayhem than we were willing to endure. So, the plan was for Reba to take her to work with her at the nursing home, and then I'd come get her after my meeting.
Which is exactly what we did--thankfully, my meeting didn't go too long this time and was over by 8:30, so I scooted over and picked up Cat, and scooted right back to the office to sign off on a bunch of permits, catch up on my work e-mail, transfer a bunch of note-taking/minute-transcribing junk to my thumb drive, and all the while, Catherine quietly sat at my drafting table and colored me a gigantic picture of a dolphin (or a duck-billed plesiosaur) jumping out of the water.
Got my notes together, grabbed the girl, and headed home for the day. Not much bike riding, unfortunately, because we had to get ready for Bible study at church, and I had to get a jump on doing my meeting minutes so I could have time to play with all of you kids today.
Supper, church, home, bed.
