TypeAMom Is a Go! #typeamom

This time last year I was a bumbling, dithering, wishy washy mess. I had a ticket to TypeAMom. I had recently started writing for TypeAMom on Preteens. After hearing about the conference I very much wanted to go. At the time the cost of airfare and hotel seemed insurmountable. Could I even think of going? I was skeptical. I never researched airline tickets. I didn’t want to get my hopes up. And then there was childcare. How would I manage to be away from home with the kids in school and activities.

Two weeks before the TypeAMom Conference 09, I tweeted with my friend Janine. She was going to the conference with her friend, Linda. After a couple of tweets to and from her, I knew I had to go. I had to make the trip work. Period.

Janine and I agreed to drive together…transportation…check. I hadn’t considered driving, but Janine was game.
Janine found Holly. Holly was willing to drive too. Transportation… double check!
Janine offered to let me room with her and Linda. Hotel…check. Linda wasn’t able to go due to an injury. Good news…she’s going this year!
Childcare became a non issue once my husband agreed to go in to work late on two days. He handles the evening kid events many nights. I left frozen dinners. I prepacked lunches. Did everything I could to keep the home fires burning while I attended the TypeAMom Conference.

This year it is a different story. I purchased an early bird ticket. Found a friend who needed a roommate. Booked my flights a few minutes ago. I’m all set. Bring on #TypeAMom!
