So today was a longer day for me. So please forgive me for being tired and not very clear.....
Today was a day where I got tired of hearing my name.
"Mindy!". "MIIIIINDY!". "MMMMMMIIIIIIINNNNNNNDDDDDDDYYYYYY!!!!!!!"
One summer, my mom got tired of hearing MOM 342 times a day so she would only answer to some random name like Bob. It was random but so my mom .
Anyway, today was great. Like 370 kids signed in, 3 basketball games, 6 teams....playing games busy.
So during all this hundreds of people in the building, my phone rang tonight.
Three times.
And I was dealing with a parent and couldn't answer.
And then my front desk said my sister called (not sure which one!) and it was an emergency!
My brain screamed one word over and over like an alarm!
LANE! LANE! LANE!
I excused myself from the club parent and called my sister, Danielle.
My little sister, Bethany, was putting her cat to sleep after 17 years. Obviously, I wanted to be there for my sister but instead they wanted me to go be with Lane who was left with my dad and Gerald.
Well there was no way I could leave. I was in the middle of a situation with a parent. Bazillion people. I just had to make a choice.
I was able to go see Bethany when I left the Club finally at 9:30 pm.
She's doing okay, just sad.....
Sometimes, work overshadows my real life......today I found a little bit of balance.
Just a little bit.
