It’s Friday evening and I’m still at work.  Drafting a merger agreement for a deal.  I’m going to have to get this to the client on Sunday night, which is now forcing me to actually face the fact that I’m a single mom with a career.  Before now it was pretty theoretical.  Sure, I’ve been in the office every day for the past three weeks or so, but most days have been pretty quiet and I’ve been home well before 7:00.  Worse, is that I have a house guest this weekend, and I might have to ask him to watch Oscar while I work a little on Sunday.  But, jeez, the GUILT!  Not about asking my friend to help; just about having to work and not being able to spend as much time with Oscar.

Can’t complain too much, as the pressure to get this deal doc out is based on the fact that I need to be on a plane early Friday morning.  Oscar and I are bound for Lanai!  I cannot tell you how excited I am about this.  It will be the first time the two of us have been alone for any significant period of time since Nanny Norma joined us this summer.  I think it’s going to be fantastic.  Okay, back to the grindstone.
