Paddling as fast as I can

We’ve hit crunch time on our process integration for the facility consolidation.  I’m working late, working weekends and waking up in the middle of the night unable to sleep.  Everything is coming together but in fits and starte instead of the seamless transition we were working towards.  At least it is still on track.  Tonight we are taking a break and taking the team out to dinner.  It isn’t the whole team just the core IT team… and me.  I pretend to be IT sometimes because the perks are better (and the work is fun).  Luckily the dinner starts late enough (and is close to my house) so that I can run home and spend a few minutes with Sheela before meeting up with everyone.  She has been feeling my absence more than anyone else.  Sid naps in the evenings and I’m usually home before he wakes up, Sunil is spending his evenings at Twilight Camp (Cub Scouts) but Sheela is home and lonely.
