Pat -

You dont have to prepare - why stress yourself out? Just go and learn. There will be no kids (grown or young) of yours there - no work, no cooking or cleaning - what's there to stress over?

I drove 12 hours to the only workshop that I have attended so far. I got to unwind on the way there. I have 3 children at home - so to me - it was a vacation! Got to eat when I wanted, no dishes, etc...it was marvelous!

I did get a phone call during the day once in the middle of class - my daughter was upset because my husband was violently sick. Turns out he got food poisoning the day I left! (beware of Wendy's chilli). There was nothing I could do about it and they managed without me. I turned the cell phone off after that.
