Where's Superwoman when you need her?

Well the good news is that Mom ate a minute bit of breakfast today and drank half a cup of tea - progress!

Many thanks to all the friends and family that have been to see her and sent me reports and advice.

It really is a great time of uncertainty. I know its bad to wish ones life away but sometimes there are things in the future that you need to do and you can't help wishing that it was all over and done with so that you could relax and not stress about them anymore.

My current timetable is a case in point

Next week - 2 days course "Executive Athlete Programme - starts at 6.45 each morning and ends at 5.30 - I'll have to farm out the kids - can't drop them at school at 6 in the morning! The programme is meant to make me "operate at peak performance by training and using the same principles and practices employed to create world class sports teams" - the ominous thing is the towel and water bottle we have been given - and the reference to "recovery periods". The main reason I wanted to go on this is that it is run by Dr Weinberg - a specialist in Psychoneuroimmunology (blubberblagytur!) which is the "enhancement of immunity through optimising mind strategies" - the final result should be that I am more energetic, able to cope better with stress and be more focussed (if I suvive the physical exertion side of it!)

29-3rd June - off to Eygpt for departmental weekend away - looking forwards to it but hope certain things are resolved before then.

4th -5th June - SA Online User Group Conference - at which I am presenting a paper "How to make computers think like humans" on the 4th.

8th June - Inter-Regional Carriage Driving Competition

20th June - off to the UK with the family for 3 weeks. Am now thinking that maybe I should go a week earlier so that I can get to grips with whatever needs to be done so that the kids are not bogged down in admin all the time too AND I still need to find a house-sitter.

Somewhere in this I also need to get to Pretoria whilst the British Embassy is open (9-12 weekdays only) to collect Samanthas passport.

Boy, I feel tired just looking at it - hope this "Executive Athlete Leadership development Programme" does the trick and turns me into SuperWoman!
