Do they give out bags at Leadership too?

[DebbieJ]

Or should I bring one to carry my notebook, pen, and other goodies around?

My first Leadership was last year and I don't remember them giving away bags with registration, so I'd bring your own. :D

[DebbieJ]

Thanks, Becky!

And why are you so up late, too? :)

Last year they gave out the 1.5qt executive saucepan!!

My director said that they do not give out bags so make sure to bring one!!!

[DebbieJ]

Ooh, I forgot about the saucepan! I hope they do something equally cool this year.

I'm glad this was posted. I assumed that we would get a tote like at National. (Of course, you know what they say about assuming...)

Yes, that's a bad habit of mine.:) I'm sure tonight will be the same way...doing last minute stuff and packing.

Yep, mine too. I know many, many mothers of young children who stay up too late. It's the only time the house is quiet!!!

I have a show this afternoon, then I have to help at church tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. (ouch!), and then go straight to the airport! YIKES!

Good thing I am mostly packed for Leadership and I just got done packing for my show, so I should be good to go.

Yes, that's EXACTLY why I do it. Sometimes I'm up until 1 am. Then I regret it the next morning when they're up bright and early. Last night is a good example....I got to bed after midnight, then my 2 year old daughter kept crying for mommy several times throughout the night, so I'd go in there and rock her. My 5 year old son came in and woke us up at one point complaining he couldn't find one of the MANY stuffed animals in his bed and he NEEDED to find it. NOT a good night of sleep! My daughter doesn't usually do that. Maybe she knows I'll be leaving for four days!!:( My husband is crossing his fingers she doesn't do the same thing when I'm gone.

I'm sure I'll be up late again tonight (hubby's going out to watch or GO the Bulls game), then I won't be able to sleep because of the excitement. Oh well, the adrenaline will get me through the next handful of days!! Good luck to you in getting ready to go!
