I am taking the kids to Disney World on Tuesday. On Friday I am sending them back on a flight by themselves [gulp] as I stay for the Winter Meetings.

Allison flies down separately after we go, and flies back separately before I come back, but neither of her flights are with the kids.

In the middle of that, my daughter has dance classes and Nutcracker rehearsals requiring after school pickups and things.

I just wrote up all of the details and the itinerary, complete with who goes where when and who handles what while I’m gone for my parents and my kids’ mother. It makes the invasion of Normandy look like an impulse Taco Bell run.
