Is It Saturday Yet?

I will be so glad when Friday is here, and over and a check mark on the calendar. Basically this means that I want it to be Saturday really badly.

It is not that I don't like Fridays...oh no, they are quite possibly my favorite day of the week. Child in school, no work for me, free time or at least time to do things I need and want to do! But this Friday, oh boy, it is not a day I am looking for to at the moment. My director and I are participating in a "fair" at a local venue for moms of preschoolers. We will have a booth and for about three hours we will stand around and answer questions and hopefully entice some parents to place their children in our care for either Mother's Day Out or preschool next school year.

If you had told me I would have to work a trade show when I took this job, I might have turned it down. Seriously...I have worked my share of trade shows (I used to be a coordinator of trade shows for a medical company about a lifetime ago) in my day and they do not bring back too many fond memories for me. Sure, I got to travel, saw things and met people I probably never would have, but I worked a lot of long hours, had to put up with our company's sales force (made up of ...well, basically FRAT boys straight out of college) and all the trials and tribulations of life on the road and the details of the construction of our booth on site. It was a crazy time of life.

I am hoping this Friday turns out much better than the trade show days of my past. I am pretty certain the crowd will be different, soccer moms and preschoolers as opposed to John Wayne Bobbitt and his "entourage" or Bob Dole or countless doctors strolling the aisle. I am also hoping that I find another 100 hours in this week to help me create all the things I need to create in order for this booth of ours to look its very best.

My little brain and eyes are tired tonight. The fog of the day has settled in and I am off to get some much needed rest.

Living Happily in the Moment!
