ciroccojDisaster looming.
Monday I have Environmental History 8:30-10:00, then time to be on campus and do my last-minute Law Review checks, ADR 1:00-4:00, then article due 4:30.
The boys have been sick, and Chris is on call today, but everything was still getting done because, as per usual, balancing kids & work/school => needing to plan ahead for disasters. I can't count the number of times I've scheduled writing/study/other prep time the day something is due only to have one of the kids come down with something at exactly the wrong time. Not a problem; I may not get the time to triple-check that every i is dotted and every t is crossed, but since I plan waaay ahead, things still get done.
However. Justin is now much better, which means that I will get no time to do anything Review-related today. That's not the problem; budgeting time tonight & tomorrow between Env and ADR, I could still be OK.
But now Daniel is very sick. If he stays like this, he won't be able to go to school on Monday. And his one uber-reliable babysitter Laine has company, so she can't take him, and our other babysitter Debbie has other kids who can't be exposed to whatever he's got. And Chris needs to be at work. So if Daniel doesn't get better...
Skip EnvLaw. No problem.
No prep time at school for Review. Problem: there's stuff I need to check in the library, because I can't bring it home. And I can't drag him to campus to sit in a corner and hack for a couple of hours while I check everything.
No ADR. Problem: we're doing Mediation, which is the whole reason I took ADR in the first place, and I had committed to roleplaying a mediator and prepped for it bigtime, and nobody else has prepped for it.
ARGG!!!
