Before I can think about the trip I need to take my son to get his braces on and my middle girl in for her second foot surgery. Little guy and his dad are going on another float trip the same weekend the girls head for Chicago. At least they acquired all the gear they could possibly need for the Boundary Waters trip last month.
Add to that some before school meetings of my parish education board and the parochial school board and getting school supplies . . . I need to come to Chicago just to rest.
Are there definitive plans for Thursday night yet? I'm planning on attending seminars Friday afternoon and the roundtable with Jackie Diehls Friday evening. Saturday I'm playing tourist with my girls. I think they want to go to the Hard Rock Cafe Saturday night and I'm OK with that (never been). Heading home Sunday because my eldest has to work Monday morning. We might be able to fit a few more group activities in, depending on where they are and whether they are family-friendly.
I haven't had time to go to the gym much this summer, so all my muscle is turning to mush. Most of my clothes still fit, just not as well. I've been doing PT with Elbee to keep her more motivated and that is helping. Back to school for the kids means back to the gym for mom. I'm looking forward to it, I have a bunch of gym buddies and we are all going through summer withdrawal.
Can't wait to meet everyone. Are we PMing cell phone numbers?
