| | AgainIt's a beautiful sunny day and I am sitting at the computer while my kids entertain themselves. I do feel better though as I started this morning out with the jittery, twitchy feeling and the pain in the back of my neck that means I really really need to get my antidepressant issues taken care of. I just keep putting off a doctor appointment.
I am so thankful to my kids though that are so sweet. They are playing for the most part pretty well together. I am being horribly permissive and letting them have cookies, change their clothes 1000 times and watch TV at will, but we are all functioning. Sort of.
Yesterday, I sat here until 1:00, gave Ainslee the computer so I HAD to get off, told her she didn't have to do school but could play on PBS or something and got busy. I cleaned the house, switched the bedding to summer bedding on our big bed including the dust ruffle thingie that's such a pain in the butt, washed, dryed and stored the winter stuff, vacuumed, mopped the kitchen floor because when you leave kids to themselves they spill things, baked 6 dozen cookies for a bake sale, went to Hobby Lobby, the post office, the bank and the Dollar Tree, made a business phone call for dh, and fixed dinner. I so rock! It makes me feel good to accomplish something, and it made me feel good to NOT accomplish anything for a few hours, too.
I opted to not go to the "wrap party" last night, but to stay home (it gave me more time and American Idol was one LOL). Tonight, I will just go a little early to choir/Bible study and drop off my cookies at the sale table. So it will all work out.
I am taking Riley to the UT books and blooms tomorrow instead of the water park. I am babysitting again on Friday, and am taking them to the water park that day. I think she'll enjoy it and I will too (if I take a claritin first that is).
And I heard from the lady about Ainslee's co-oop. Unexpectedly, and suddenly, the center was closed for that day and they had to switch location at the last minute, but we are scheduled to visit there next Monday. I am excited because she also responded to one of my posts on our homeshcool email loop about handwriting saying #1, not to worry about it at 5 and #2, they are doing specific things to address tha tin the co-op and #3, she is VERY experienced at working with kids with sensory issues. Wow!!
God is good. Life isn't so bad. LOL Have a great day. |
