Conflicted

So, I have work up to my eyeballs that has been waiting, waiting, waiting to be done in my office; I am hardly home; I get 6 hours sleep each night (IF I am lucky!) . . . so what do I go and do? Let me tell you . . .

I graduated from high school in 1983 - which means that this year should be my 25th class reunion. Well, it's the end of June, and it is evident that nobody is planning anything for our class. Therefore, my cousin (who was also in my class) and I decide to plan our reunion! Not a small feat, given that we had about 242 people in our class, we have no "list" of contacts, and neither of us has kept in touch with many people!

. . . now I am obsessed with finding people! I am pretty good at finding people (if I do say so myself) . . . a job skill developed over time. So, here I am, totally cold calling people I find with the same names, saying "yeah, so, like, did you attend Hononegah High School and graduate in 1983" . . . blah blah blah . . . but with each call, there has been conversation, and time, and more looking, and more leads . . . my work in my office is not getting done!

But I love the challenge of finding these people! Particularly the ones that may not have been the ones to be in the forefront in high school. I am committed to finding as many people as possible, because everyone should have a chance to choose to attend!

So, I am conflicted . . . work, reunion, family . . . balance is difficult. And now I have a husband at home who is still struggling with his kidney stone (and is not very mobile) . . .

It's 10 p.m. I think I may pack it up and head home to relieve the babysitter . . . time at home is a good balance.
