What a week.....

This week has been one of those weeks when I sit back and think, I couldn't possibly have done all that. Well, I did, I survived and you bet I am going to celebrate with a BIG glass of wine.

Not to bore anyone with work talk but I was given 48 hours to put together a preliminary media plan for the San Diego Chargers in San Diego, Orange County, Riverside and LA. My colleague and I worked frantically to pull it together these past few days, staying late every night to get it done. We were so stressed about getting it done we didn't realize the magnitude of what we were doing until this morning....

Our meeting was scheduled for 8:45am at the Chargers Park. For those mom's out there, you understand just how challenging the mornings are with a 14 month old. I had to get ready and actually look presentable (I wore a dress so legs shaved and hair blown dry), drop Emmy off at Daycare and be at the meeting by 8:45am. I was so nervous about being late that I was up by 5:30am, showered, hair done, make-up on by 6:30am. Poor Emmy woke up, I nursed her (yes, I am STILL nursing her at night and in the morning) fed her breakfast, got her dressed and we were out the door by 7:45am. I threw a hat on her head because I knew that always makes her happy :) Half an hour later I was sitting outside the building, 30 minutes early. Better early than late, right?!

So far in my career I have worked with small clients and advertisers but sitting in the parking lot it finally hit me. I was about to present my ideas to the CMO/VP and the team owner's son and 45 minutes ago I was changing a poopy diaper. How crazy is that?! I get pretty pumped for big meetings but I really needed to put my game face on for this one. They were really receptive to some of the innovative ideas we had which is exciting. Hopefully we'll get approval to move forward because I'd be involved in some pretty cool elements. On our way out of the meeting we passed by the owner of the team and Norv Turner. Pretty cool. The next few weeks are probably going to be nuts but at least it isn't like this all the time. Remind me that again next week.....

Reading the above does not quite explain just how CRAZY this week has been but I have to say I am proud that I made it through. Thank goodness I have the best husband in the world who got dinners ready and even had a bouquet of flowers waiting for me yesterday.

It is picture day at Emmy's daycare tomorrow morning and then Josh's aunt and uncle are coming into town this weekend. Little miss Emery will be attending her first baseball game Sunday, pictures to come! I am looking forward to some quality time with my monkey, I sure have missed her this week.
