4:00, phone conference, General Electric project.

4:15, Lucy piano lesson.

4:30, Charlie’s soccer game. LAST ONE.

I always list the kids’ activities in my calendar so, like an air traffic controller, I know where everyone is at any given time. I hadn’t considered actually going to Charlie’s game until just now. Bob said he didn’t think he could make it again this week, and Abby won’t be able to stay and watch after dropping Charlie off at the field because she’ll have to loop back to the other side of town to pick up Lucy from her piano lesson. It’s his last game of the season. I picture the end of the game and all the other kids running off the field and into the celebrating arms of their moms and dads. I picture Charlie’s fallen face when he realizes his mom’s and dad’s arms aren’t there to receive him. I can’t stand the image.

Fueled by three shots of espresso and two additional shots of guilt and compassion, I check my watch one last time, then grab my cell phone, the GE folder, my bag and coat and leave the office.

“Jessica, tell the four o’clock meeting I’ll be phoning in from my cell.”

No reason why I can’t do it all.
