We would never leave you out!
 
Yes, Cathy.... just remember when it's 9 o'clock here, they're all in bed, and it's tomorrow for them..... so you can countdown in about 15 minutes from now ;)
 
ooooh! yeah! I think I will come back down to my office after I go put my kids to bed and beat everybody to the punch!!! shhhhh don't tell 'em!:p :D
 
You're secret's safe with me ;)

And I am sooooo NOT ready..... even less than I was a week ago!!!! lol

My girlfriend that's going to conference with me is taking me shopping on Saturday! I desperately need clothes! Business casual for me is jeans and a tshirt! My "other job" (besides Mom, of course! lol) is as an apartment manager in low income housing, so dressing up just doesn't happen, ya know? lol
 
20 days!!!
I beat you, I beat you! HAHAHA!:D :D :p ;)
I just had to and you know I listened to Celeste's advice, I came on here and counted down when all of you are/were sleeping!:p Cause you know that I'm the official counterdownerererer! :rolleyes: Sorry, I just can't help it!:D ;)
 
ROFL!!!!!! You're awesome, Cathy!!!

Although she is doing a great job!!!

I know! Me too! Gonna have to start making a check-list....
 
OY!!!!!

And I am taking over a new property on July 1st... trying to rent out my 1 empty apartment here... training a new manager at another property... painting MY apartment, plus getting new carpet....... I *might* have to see if we can postpone our carpet replacement, because I just don't have time to pack everything away, and I've got 2 shows over the weekend when I return from Chicago, and we're supposed to get the carpet on the next Monday! ACK!!!!!!

Ok..... it will be fine..... deep breaths............
 
Celeste.... Inhale....Exhale..... Inhale......Exhale! If you have to put off the carpets for one week then do it! You'll be more sane that way!
BTW Celeste....19 days!!!!:eek: ....
You'll be okay.... you can do it!;)
 
I can't wait to meet some more fellow cheffers. I feel way behind because I haven't been on as much lately. The best part of conference is that it means no more summer school!:) Don't get me wrong I love teaching, but the caseload they gave me is enough for 2 teachers. I just keep thinking about conference.
 
So PamperedAlf, what your saying is... that even though it's a business conference, it will be a vacation too!:D ;) I just love how PC is way less stressful then any job out there! I look forward to meeting you!:)

It totally is a vacation, I know that when I get back I can sleep in (it's only 7AM, but I take every bit I can get), go clean out my classroom and have 1 month of pure son time before I go do it all over again. I will see you in Chicago!
 
Wow, I should really figure out my wardrobe so I can have time to shop if need be. YIKES!
 
I'm breathing.... I'm trying, anyway ;)

Going shopping with a girlfriend this weekend... and by then should be just about ready to start packing.

And then to figure out the rest of the schedule..... I think I *will* try to reschedule the carpets, though..... it's just a bit too much, ya know? Wonder if we should even hold off til the fall?!?! Who knows......
 
I haven't heard back from Melissa so I think I will be at the Hilton

That might be a good idea because it sure sounds like you have alot on your plate and I'm one of those types that has no problem taking something that is not mandatory off my schedule if I'm too swamped! Because other wise I take my stress out on my family and that is not cool!
I need to finish some shopping too and then I'll be ready to pack too! The company's checklist is a big help, now I just need to add my extra's!:)
 
OH!!!! and BTW 19 days for most of us and 18 days for others, like Lacy, Soccermama and Anne (I think Anne!), and anyone else I forgot!
Wahooo! I can't believe how close it's getting!:eek: :p ;) :D
I thought for sure when I saw Lacy as the last poster that she had hijacked my job and taken over the countdown again!:p :rolleyes: J/K! Love ya Lacy!:D
