Two steps forward and one back

I was plunging into my to do list today that made it seem like someone had turned up the treadmill by about 1000 notches. Seriously. I couldn’t catch my breath because the big rock on my chest felt like a boulder that an elephant was sitting on.

Victory lap – there is a good chance I will be able to refinance the house (check), I was able to use a free ticket for an upcoming trip (check), I was able to get a decent room rate for the conference I will be attending (check), I was able to cross a dozen other things off my list including catching up with someone who has been high on my list to get in touch with (check, check, check) and at some point in the afternoon I realized something that made all of this forward motion seem ridiculous.

I am going to miss Tin’s first day of school because I will be at a conference. I almost cried when I realized it and so Tatjana has offered to film his walk across the bridge to the Montessori school that day.

Boo hoo.
