Today was my youngest son Kellen’s first tennis match on the high school tennis team. And sadly, I have to report that I missed it! Instead, I was acting as a counselor, negotiator, and you could even call me a gymnast. A walk-through on a home that was suppose to close should have been easy but instead was filled with tension, uncertainty, and a crawl through a doggie door. Top that with preparing two untraditional contracts (aren’t they all these days), a cell phone that wouldn’t work and an attempt organize files to leave for my unfortunate partner, my day got away from me. I frantically made calls from the office phone to make sure the spastic seller really would follow through on her commitment to close so my buyer could purchase the home she waited so patiently to get. At the eleventh hour, the transaction finally recorded and I was caught up in the moment - missing my son’s event. I have come to the realization that I am pretty good at doing back flips and GI Joe crawls for others, but unfortunately, my family only gets my feeble attempts of a hop, skip and a jump. Business is good (a true blessing), but my balance is not.
BTW: Kellen won both his singles and doubles match-YEAH KELLEN!
