WC: Gotta go. I have a talk. Was planning on going weekend only, but they assigned me a talk friday morning.
Yikes! Hope it's not too vomit-making (for you).
But I told my wife I'm not eating sandwichs. I'll go out to eat, even if it's against the 'slave's' instructions. They make everybody eat crappy food while standing or in the auditorium seats, while the CO's, DO's wives and all the 'important' ones eat at their very comfortable apartments within the Assembly hall.
I hope you keep your lapel card on - y'know, to give a good witness in those worldly restaurants. And don't change into your bluejeans for the occasion - you want to stand out as different!
It's a yearly nightmare with three kids.
*sympathetic thoughts* However, if they are still quite young, you do have the excuse for being distracted in keeping them quietly occupied, taking them out for long walks or pushing them around in strollers during nap time (where you can bump into old friends and catch up) - anything to break up the monotony.
