Schedule Conflicts
Note to future self: May is not a good month to be releasing a book.
May is full of school activities and end of year concerts and other such kid stuff. This time it was just very important to get the book available asap, but for future books, I’ll aim to have the heavy duty mailing and party planning land in a less busy month.
Kiki’s Activity Day Girl’s group is having a mother’s day luncheon on the day we have scheduled for mailing. Gleek’s dance class is having her recital on the Friday that I’ll be at Conduit with Howard and Gleek will be staying at my brother’s house. Fortunately Gleek is so excited about the visit to my brother’s house that she doesn’t mind missing her recital. She has plans to perform her dance for her cousins. The mother’s day luncheon is trickier. Historically Kiki’s events have been most trampled upon by Novell and cartooning business concerns. I’ll probably have to take a break from frantic mail preparation and go to this luncheon. I’m worried about it though because I’m the one who really needs to be there to explain how the mailing works. Perhaps I can talk Kiki into having a different and special mommy/daughter date on a different day.
I really hope that the schools get their End Of Year calendars put out soon because I’m sure there are other conflicts that I’ll need to resolve.
