My blog is set to auto-publish while I'm in Maryland sans Internet and sans email. I'll be in Baltimore attending the Apologia LIVE conference as a blogger-reviewer of the conference.
I feel a bit torn as my older son has had the flu since Monday afternoon. He is on the mend but still feverish. I contemplated cancelling the trip in order to stay home to take care of him. I'll be gone only 2.5 days. My husband will be here to take care of the kids, he is capable, although he's never been the sole caretaker of a child sick with flu who is bedridden and really feeling poorly.
However I hope I learn something useful and feel inspired or energized which will help me for months in the future. My two day absence will have rewards that will go on for a long time. If I stay home I'll have helped nurse my son back to good health, just like his father can do, but I will have missed out on hopefully what will be useful information and positive inspiration, so my children will BOTH lose out in the long run if I don't attend.
And I've been stuck in the house since Monday afternoon, feeling a bit cabin feverish, so it will be good to get out. If I don't go I will surely have a worse case of cabin fever by Monday and the week will be off on a bad foot, I can only imagine.
If you're in the Baltimore area and want to come down to the conference, check out the conference website for information.
If you are there perhaps I will see you!
