Here I sit in my freezing cold office on Saturday morning of the WTL conference...but I have fabulous news...drum roll, please. A FURNACE IS BEING INSTALLED AS I WRITE THIS! The world is already looking brighter... and soon to be warmer, too.
After Becky's bday party last night, I took off for home, despite the good company, warm hotel room, cable TV/Internet. I learned that we are supposed to get a roaring thunderstorm this afternoon, and the nice young man (don't I sound old?) that I hired to put in a new furnace called to say he'd like to get at the job early. I'm relishing the thought of the warmth that is soon to come, but feeling kind of badly for leaving the warmth of friends so early. OK, forgive the schmaltz, but it really was uplifting to listen to all of you talk about your adventures this year. Susan, "mud" is a perfect word choice for me, too. Thanks! Seriously, don't we work with KIND and SMART people? Sometimes I really am washed over with that feeling of... I can't believe I am doing this... which I guess is better than...Am I doing this right? ... which sometimes hits me, too. It really can be kind of lonesome, though...
So, I really am going to look forward to hearing what's going on with all of you through this site. I'm sorry I didn't get to go through a "tutorial" with Susan on getting signed on. I'll send her an email, but in the meantime, if you see her (maybe Kathy?) would any of you help her find our site and get signed on? Also, Shonna, I know you are out there since you are now listed as a contributor. So let us "see" you in a post!
Love to you all,
Barb...or Katiedog...whatever!

I just got home too and ALL of my kids are here. While I am happy about that, I am overwhelmed my people after the WTL. They have allowed me a few minutes of rest in my room with earplugs and a soft blanket. They're so sweet. Depsite all my complaining, I am thankful for this job and the people I get to work with. It is a true honor.
me,too...
