Session 37

In this years series premier, we have exotic travels, passionate exchanges, and wild parties. You won't want to miss a moment.
Celebrating her 37 year, Jennifer leaves work early for a secret rendezvous with her pillow and a child free nap before they get home. Of course, as fate would have it, she gets caught in a hall way conversation about how we are going to meet the 5 second SLA if the external system we are calling to is down. She makes in home just in time to get a phone call from her mother wanted to send her flowers she can plant before the frost sets in. So much for a nap.

The excitement builds as she prepares for a quick and dirty trip to St. Louis to have more discussions about the hallway SLA discussion. The frequent flier miles will be greatly appreciated so long as NWA will continue to honor them a year from now.

Returning to the comfort of the place she currently calls home, she prepares herself for the drama that awaits inside. After being gone for what seems like an eternity when you measure it in terms of cleaning up after teen age daughters and having your ex-husband frequent your house, you can almost write the next scene yourself.

The dialogue between the teen daughters focused on hating their new school, and how studies shouldn't have to be this hard. Need to find a way to write into this part of the show how to give them a future look at how hard it is when they are done with school and have to put even more effort forth to earn a living.

Finally, our show concludes with a scene of 4 teen boys and 3 teen girls celebrating a birthday party as our leading star does her best to remember she too was once that age and it is normal for teens to be loud, obnoxious, and to think their parents are completely square. The scene fades out as she turns up the volume on her headphones, finishes writing in her online blog and wishes that having a glass of wine wouldn't give her a splitting headache.

Stay tuned for next week when there are more exciting travels to St. Louis, we learn how the hired help to stay with the girls is going to work out, and whether our star decides whether she will learn to just become comfortable with having a messy house or spends money she really shouldn't just to have some resemblance of order.

I know it doesn't sound like much of story people would want to watch on tv, but then again maybe they would. After all, I know that when I have days, weeks, sometimes months of just non-stop responsiblity and feeling like you always fall slightly short, I find comfort in knowing there are other people out there, just like me going through it.

I find comfort in the small things I do have throughout the day that remind me my efforts are notices by someone, the friend who remembers my birthday, the email just to say hi, I'm still thinking of you, filling up the m&m bowl at my desk because others have notices I try to think of others. Not quite an episode of Law & Order, CSI:Miami, or even American Idol for that matter but I get the lead role so I'll take it.
