I don't know how it will be. It's a conference on helping teenagers with independent living skills. A lot of kids that are in foster care as teens never return home, and even if the plan is for them to return home, there has to be a back-up plan to prepare them to make it on their own in the event that they are not able to. Obviously, most of these kids are from dysfunctional homes anyway, or they wouldn't be in foster care, so it isn't surprising that a lot, if not most, of them are sadly lacking in living skills. I kinda got roped into going to this thing, so I am trying to make the best of it. I'm sure it will be useful information, it's just that being gone all this week, I will get so far behind at the office that it will be hard to catch up.
Welllll, as long as you can FReep, you'll be OK...
Yeah, it's always tough to catch up but that sounds like a noble cause. I've been taking some leadership classes here and there, on-site, but even those take time. I'm such a homebody anymore, especially after 9/11, all I want to do is stay home with my cats, garden, read, look at the mountains. Oh, yes, and torment my husband by being online 24-7 :)
