Code Words

As we approach "D-Day" we have been talking more about some of the basics of getting to the hospital. It's a pretty common joke these days around the office and home that I am going into labor while at work on either the football field or the volleyball court but regardless of if that happens or not, we still need to have some plans. Obviously if its during work hours on a week day, Karl is already at the hospital so its a matter of getting me where I need to be depending on how quickly I need to be there. As I mentioned, the facilities guys at work gave me a code word to use if something happens at an event and I need their help so we started talking about it at home. Karl has a couple of important meetings at work and various projects he will be leading over the next few weeks so he said he hoped nothing happened on those dates while he's at work. Of course, my next question was-what if it does? I asked how I should notify him that its important and something is happening if he is in a meeting or place where he can't take calls. His response: boom goes the dynamite. If I text or message him on his phone with those words he will know to excuse himself and call me back immediately. I said sounds good but if things are really moving fast and I feel like its too long to type all that, I'm just going to say TNT BOOM and he better get out of there. We know the odds of all of this happening during the work day are pretty small but its still good to be prepared!
