Despite the challenging home front

As I write this week’s update the girls and I are on day nine without Mom. While it’s been a difficult week without the comfort of our normal routine, I am happy to report that all are well.

Mia struggled with her virus, but her fever broke after a few days. Catherine rolled with the punches and was a huge help. I nearly lost it a few times, but the house is clean, the kids are fed, and we’re ready for school to begin.

Ironically the week may have been harder for Dana. She just called in tears to say her flight was delayed. After a week of sleepless nights helping with her sister’s newborn, all she wants to do is come home.

Despite the challenging home front, we did manage to have a productive work week. Not only did we deposit some big checks from multiple paid invoices, but we also completed some more work, made some new contacts, and received some promising new leads. Not too shabby for the last week of summer with the wife out of town, a sick toddler, and our day care closed for two days.

Three interesting events on tap for this week:

After nearly a year of avoiding the Sarasota Chamber’s Young Professionals Group because I’ve heard more bad than good, I am finally attending a YPG event at Michael’s On East on Monday. I’ll let you know how it goes…

On Wednesday night I’m going to an Ad Fed event that I plugged last week.

And Thursday morning I’ll be in the Selby Auditorium at USF attending the first of three Manatee Chamber events called T.I.P.S. Tech In Plain Speak.

Until next week,
