Well, my laptop seems to have got over it’s funny turn, which is a huge relief. I couldn’t get past the warning message to do anything yesterday, but after a lot of faff it seems OK now. I shouted at older daughter about downloading stuff on my work laptop, and wouldn’t run her around to her activities because I needed to sort it out. Now I don’t really think it was her fault after all. I said sorry, and am comforting myself with the thought that a good telling off never did me any harm, and it’ll help keep her in line in anticipation of future misdemeanours.
Still – once I get over the guilt, I can get back to looking forward to Light Night again. No more the ‘heap in the corner’ – I’ll be the one greeting you at the door with the big smile.
Lots to do before then though – today I am:
booking flights to New York (took literally hours, and at one point I accidentally got two flights and had to phone helpline in USA to sort it out) – co-ordinating two schools in shortlisting and selecting creative practitioners – authoring DVD’s and burning 5 copies – making lists of what to pack for ‘Inside Out’ Leeds Light Night installation – making mental notes about shopping for daughters outward bounds thing (she goes on Sunday for a whole week and will need more clothes) – stretching my sewing skills making a hidden pocket for an ipod in a pair of jeans for ‘Inside Out’
and all before the 3pm school run. I feel a bit jangly.
