Apologies-Off My blogging Game

I went back to work in the office on Monday-traffic snarls and all. We were hit with snow again Tuesday, so a lovely two hour commute in both directions. In between running dinner (PB and J and an apple)  and her orchestra dress to school as DD2 had no time to get home between choir practice and the orchestra call time, and walking pup, I was running in multiple directions. I was able to make it to the concert on time-barely, though DH got stuck at work. I sat with a friend. It was the one concert a year where the bands and orchestras play together. Considering 8 of the last 12 days of school had been cancelled, with limited rehearsals in their own groups let alone together it came together pretty well, from an audience perspective. DD2 wasn't pleased particularly with one song that she described as a train wreck. 

I was on the road early yesterday three hours  from home to a city about 75 miles NW of the Twin Cities. The worst was getting through St Paul and Minneapolis in traffic that was at a stand still in multiple places. I did a 11:00 presentation as part of a statewide training, hung out at the resource table for any questions, and got back on the road at 1:15, back at my desk by 2'30, then worked until 5;30. It has been a whirlwind of a week, and it continues. 

DH went to make a pizza Tuesday night and the oven heating element was out. Now I am without an oven until we figure out if he can do something, we get it repaired, or have to replace the entire stove. Thanks, Murphy. DD2 wanted to make pumpkin bread for her BF/friend for Valentines, but she didn't get home until 8:00 after two different choir practice's. She made the batter, sprayed the pans, and I hauled them over to DD1's house to use her oven. The kitchen is a train wreck, and I hope DH just leaves it. I'll deal with it when I get home. He can throw ravioli and sauce into the crock pot for supper or, we might go to Green Mill as I have a gift card and if we call ahead for reservations, I get an extra 100 onus pints on my account.

I have time for a 60 second shower, a cup of coffee, and to throw some lunch items in my bag and throw clothes on before the kid and I both need to be out the door. I hope DH is able to sleep in this morning-he has been shoveling non-stop between home and work for a week now. All this is to say, I know I have not responded to comments. I have done little more than glance at others blogs-and for that I feel bad. I like knowing what is going on in others world. I don't like being a back seat blogging buddy. Thanks for reading my words of apologies, and I hope to be back on my blogging game by the weekend.
