Always Something

I was at my desk working here at home today and just happy that I was going to get some pages done when I heard the dreaded sound ... the text message alert beeps on my cell phone and then the e-mail comes across my inbox - it's a last-minute job that has come on and they need me to cover it at 3:00. That means I have to quit working by 12:30 or so, take a shower (which I most likely would have skipped otherwise so that I could get more pages done), eat a little something for lunch, run down to the office (had a few papers to take to the office first, as long as I was heading downtown anyway now), and then get to my job destination by 2:40 or so. How much time does that cut out of the work I was going to be able to get done all afternoon?

So now guess what I'm doing? Settling myself in at my desk here at home again and starting to do some more work ... late into the night ... have to at least get SOME pages done. Then up and at it again by 6:00 to get myself ready, the kids dressed and fed, Jordan off to the baby-sitter's house, Meggan off to school, and then get to my job destination by 8:40 or so that will be starting at 9:00 and probably going all day!

It's always something...
