Workshops and Speakers and Lunches, Oh My!
Today my local chapter is having a guest speaker, Michelle Monkou. I love workshops and motivational speakers. Especially when they involve chocolate (my chapter is so smart about this. If you feed them, they will come). There’s something about spending a day learning new things that is exciting and energizing.
Okay, okay, you’re right. The real energy comes from my husband watching the children ALL DAY and I get to have some time ALONE. 
I have a wild urge to yell, “They’re yours! All yours! Diapers and all! Bwahahahaaa….” :starwars:
I love my children. Dearly. They are the apples of my eye, but when you are on Mom-duty 24-7, having a few hours by yourself is sweet, pure Elysium. Two of my teacher friends are pregnant. They are in that lovely glowing phase where they read their books which state things like, “Your child is the size of a jelly bean today.” And the best thing about being pregnant for the first time is when your husband asks, “So how was your day?” and you can say important, meaningful things like, “It was great. I grew a set of lungs today and a liver.” Man, try competing with that one. It’s almost worth the all-day sickness (morning? Ha!).
So, anyhoo, I’ll share the knowledge I learn from today’s workshops later on. In the meantime, have a great Saturday!

Have fun at the meeting.

I second that sentiment. My meetings are all day and I like to go to get away from the kids as well. However, my chapter always has awesome speakers and I always gain something.

There’s nothing like a “grown up” day !!!

Sounds like you’re due for a wonderful day.
My children asked me the other day if I was going to have another baby sometime. :confused: After I regained consciousness, I assured them I wasn’t. They are (almost) 10, 11, 12. And I’m a selfish mother and refuse to give them a baby brother. LOL They are all girls.
