I am so doomed
Aug. 19th, 2006 11:54 amI am still tired from Gencon and the writing I've done this week, I woke up an hour before my alarm went off for no good reason this morning, and I have to go into work today because it is Sample Day and I need to conduct the Great Flax Bread Challenge. (I intend to introduce a flax bread into our production line-up, and am trying to determine which of the three recipes I've developed is most popular with our customers.)
None of that is the Doom part. The Doom is that this afternoon my Girl Scout troop is driving out to the water park at Grand Island for an afternoon/evening of fun, sun and water. I don't know if I have the strength to get through this. I haven't seen them all summer, so it's possible they have improved some, but...I'm not holding my breath.
This was not, by the way, the original plan. The original plan was that we were going to do a Sunday/Monday overnight trip, which would have been a longer time spent with them, but would have given me more sleep beforehand. But that trip fell through because not enough of the girls would commit to it, so mid-week Linda came up with this idea. Which I had to support because the girls had earned the tickets to the water park by the troop's success in cookie-selling, and it would be a shame not to let the girls enjoy the fruits of their labor.
I suppose I should be more positive about this. While we are actually in the water they won't want to hang around me, and there will be large numbers of lifeguards present to help keep them out of trouble. (This is very important, because to swim I have to take off my glasses, and I'm very nearsighted. If the troop had to rely on me alone, we'd never go near a pool.) So. Optimistic thoughts! If only I weren't so tired...
