Basically, don't set myself up for anything? And don't let his actions/inactions control mine?

I am proud that I didn't complain when he called about leaving town this pm. He told me at 1:45 and I have to be somewhere at 5:45. I just said ok, have a safe trip and I will see you when you get back.

I did call him to let him know I was having a hard time finding someone to stay with D16 and if I couldn't, I would have my mom call her every so often to check on her. We have no local family, so if I can't find anyone, I am out of luck.

I did find someone and am looking forward to this evening. The forum continues tomorrow. I've been the past 2 years, and it is a truly inspirational event. For my leadership skills, which I need to learn how to turn off at home!! I had someone today tell me I might be the next mayor (in a joking fashion).

Now I know what people say about the work/life balance. I go to all of these leadership events and training programs, and it backfires at home. Geez, why don't they teach us how to turn this crap off?
