Working at Home

I worked at home today. Before I started the day, I drove my daughter to a potential new school where she spent the day visiting. I had to check in her. On the way home, I stopped for a large chai tea latte, no sugar, soy. When I got home, I made some breakfast. It was 9:30 by the time I started my day. I am working on a power point presentation to show at a mediation. I worked diligently for about 2-1/2 hours. That's when my day deteriorated. I stopped for a brief solitaire break. Then I stopped myself and resumed my work. I had to print pages from my remote connection, scan them on my home computer to save in the right digital format, e-mail them to myself in order to insert the document image into my power point presentation. I read a deposition. I played some more solitaire. I created a few more slides. I took a lunch break (tuna salad and crudite). I made another slide. Then I played another game of solitaire. Then I made another two or three slides. Shortly thereafter, I needed to leave to pick my daughter up from the school, but I managed to squeeze in another game or two of solitaire. At 3:30, I left my house to pick up my daughter. She was not ready to leave, having to complete a placement exam and an interview. So I hung around. I was hoping to rush home so I could get back to work. But since I was in the proximity, I also picked up my older daughter and then took her to my mother-in-law's house because my husband is taking her to a concert tonight as an assignmenet for her music appreciation course. At my mother-in-law's house, my young daughter ate dinner, so I needed to wait around for her to finish. Now it is 6:00 and I am not yet home. I need to get home soon because I have to make up the time I wasted playing solitaire.
