do it for the kids...

So I'm getting ready to head to CHI and can I just say, my god, I hate packing.  

No matter how early I begin, I always wind up having to rush around at the last minute for something I almost forgot.  So damn stressful. Not to mention all the cleaning that has to go on before I can step a foot out the door.  'Cause there ain't no way Elsa's daughter is leaving a dirty bathroom, dishes in the sink or trash in the crib while she's on the road. No maam.

But I shall not complain, because aside from the crazy weather I do love me some Chicago. Aaannd (drumroll please)- thanks to the unbelieveable success of the HOTLANTA series in the Chicago Public Schools, Denene and I have been invited to be recognized and participate as the keynote speakers at the 2009 Mayor Daley's Book Club Spring Conference. Woo Hoo!! Go Mitzi, it's ya birthday!  Go Denene, get busy!!

So think good thoughts, pray I don't forget to pack the right bra and I'll holler at ya'll next week.
