TheNewLifeOfNancy...: Took a day off.

Took a day off.

It's a day I still need to take a conference call in 7 minutes.

A day I have to take two children to get flu shots.

A day I have to get to the post office and mail the 18 thousand things I have to mail. (okay, like 8 things)

A day I have to get some work done in preparation for tomorrow.

A day I'll still have to end by going to derby practice for 2 hours of hell.

A day that is a weird derby practice night - bad outfit day. Which I don't really get. Are we in high school?

A day I need to do 4 loads of laundry - at least.

A day I have to peel urine soaked sheets off a bed and replace (potty training is fun).

A day I'm ~not~ going to spend making myself feel worse.

A day I hope to get a call to find out when surgery #4 will be.

But, it's a day off. And I have to get on a conference call.
