((((Ali))))

please try not to beat yourself up over it, hon. Sometimes these things come up, and as bad as the timing is, this interview could be a very good thing.

I agree.

The ultimate good might out-weigh the good feeling T may have from having his mother present at a function that may not be remembered and might not be all that important in the great scheme of things.  Talking to T and presenting the situation may be more enlightening and beneficial to T and therefore be a life lesson that may be of even more importance.  IMHO, of course.

Thanks guys.  I know it's not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, I just hate feeling like I'm letting him down, and like I'm one of those parents that puts their careers ahead of their kids.  This is such a huge opportunity though, I know I have to just suck it up.

I think you need a sense of perspective here. You are obviously a loving and devoted mother. He's one lucky boy. I don't think dropping out of one minor event will leave him with plagued with feelings of rejection throughout his adult life.

Ooooh what kind of reptile? Can you ship it to me? 

[xSilverPhinx]

I would have to catch it first

The poor thing is rather fragile, I don't think it can handle a long trip, otherwise I would in a heartbeat.

V for victory!

Interview moved to Wednesday (tomorrow), so I can still go to the Mommy & Me luncheon.  Also, I have scheduled a pirate to show up for T's 4th birthday next month.  Who's the best mom ever? Ali, Ali, Ali!  Who is the master of balancing work and family?  Ali, Ali, Ali! 

Everybody wish me luck knocking their socks off tomorrow.

YAY!!! *hug and a high five*   You rock! T will love that pirate, and I'm cheering you on for the interview!!

[Recusant]

I wish you the best of luck! It's great to hear that you'll be able to attend the Mommy & Me function too.

[Asmodean]

It's raining, The Asmo is dying from a kidney stone* and... General sourness. Yes, that's what's on me mind today.


*For those less medically literate, no, not really dying. For those more medically literate, no, no ultrasound - will pass on its own, apparently.
