Contract Firm called a little while ago and bumped our meeting up to 9:00 am and said they had a task for me, but gave minimal details. So it sounds like I will actually start working (I'm assuming still as contract labor) tomorrow.
Oh crap, this means I need to make sure the nanny is available to watch the kids through tomorrow evening and possibly the rest of the week. DH is out of town all week, and nanny has never had to work past 6:00. I hope she is ok with potential late nights this week. And PS has an after-school thing tomorrow, which means she will have to go back to pick her up an hour and a half after she gets the twins. And I haven't heard back from her yet to tell her all this.
And I'll have to drop the kids off at 7:30, which means getting them up an extra half hour early. And who knows what time I have to get up to get myself and three kids ready. DH usually takes the bulk of the morning responsibilities. I so do not envy single moms.
And pretty much everything I own is at the dry cleaners right now. I tried to pick it up this afternoon, but it wasn't ready yet, so now I'll have to venture out in icky traffic to get it. At least I got my nails and brows done this afternoon so I don't look like a troll anymore.
This is all good. But after 6 weeks of laziness and self-pity I am freaking out a little at having to jump back in with both feet.
My only concern is that what was originally billed as a "planning meeting" now sounds more like a briefing to get me started on a project ASAP. I really want the chance to discuss contract v. permanency and set some deadlines, and I don't want it to get overlooked because of an urgent project.
