Yesterday
was so busy! At the office, I worked hard with my
team. We developed a
new advertising plan. Our meeting lasted about two
hours. I remembered
an advertising plan that worked five years ago, and
I suggested we try
that again. We needed to get the manager's approval.
We called him on
the office phone. He admitted that the idea seemed
good, but he
believed we should lower the budget. We reported our
numbers to him and
talked about the budget for a long time. Finally, he
decided to give us
the money we wanted.
On
the way home, I stopped at the mall. I had promised
my daughter a new
MP3 player for her birthday. At the electronics
store, I played songs
and listened for quality sound. I decided to buy one
at a medium price.
When
I got home, the kitchen was a mess. At our house, we
have agreed to
clean up after ourselves, so I asked around to find
out who had cooked
last. That person turned out to be my son. While he
washed the dishes,
I sat at the kitchen table and talked to him about
his school work.
Last year, he tested into an advanced program, and I
wanted to see how
he was doing. He seemed happy with it. He started
telling me about his
classes and what he learned that day.
