Melissa in Australia Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Twins started work with playtherapist. Can you believe she came and did a house visit on dh and myself and stayed for three hours and encouraged us to talk and talk and talk and didn't charge us anything because she was so concerned about us and the huge stress we are under due to new arrival and huge pressure from DHHS and placement agency as well as new arrival's challenging behaviour. Run on sentence I know 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Was so exhausted after yesterday, I was hoping school would be called off again, but no luck. Today is a deadline day. I hope I remember to do everything that needs done. I've been slipping recently and need to get ahead before the really hard work starts. Kids off to the school bus. Took out the garbage. Some work done. To do: More work. Call the doctor. Pay some bills. Calendar. A little housework, reading, exercise. Kids' work. Kid to gymnastics. Read-aloud? Kids to bed. Work. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Late to the party today. Dh is working at home and that always makes for a weird day. About an hour of school left to do. Lesson prep for church tonight. Possibly go get Dh's car (Yes, it has been in the shop for about 10 days! Long story. Nm. We have a loaner from a family member.) Read with kids Meal planning Church tonight for choir, dinner and class. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) I want to meltdown. I feel like I work and work and work and have nothing to show for it. This week we have off from homeschool (though I am still doing 3 hours of college student driving a day) and what have I gotten done? In the last 3 days: I have had one half hour of fun piano playing. And I went out to lunch for my brother (a couple of hours for that). And we went out for frozen yogurt one afternoon. Today was supposed to be a big work on project day. And I did get some done. I got three major medical bill headaches solved including the one that was inexplicably accruing late fees even though we paid it months ago. (I even convinced her to waive all the late fees since we have a good payment record.) I've done (almost) all of the college chauffeuring. Dd got one bag of old clothing to go to Goodwill. I got one bag of old clothing to go to Goodwill. I got one box of old homeschool books to go to the homeschool consignment shop but ran out of time to actually drive there - that will have to be tomorrow. I'm still behind in laundry. And the bathroom looks disgusting. And I forgot about the pharmacy again until I saw this thread but I'm not sure if I have the time to stop there. And the living room and dining room still are messy and cluttered. And I have absolutely no idea what to have for dinner.

Faithr Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 We had soup and sandwiches for dinner: pizza subs and canned lentil soup. Teens are now making popcorn for dessert. Sorry Jean that you feel so overwhelmed. I don't know if this will help, but sometimes I still do the thing where I put on a timer and tell everyone to hop to and TIDY SOMETHING as fast as they can until the timer goes off. It is good way to get something done so that the cluttered mess doesn't depress as much. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 We dropped the two bags off at Goodwill. And we bought a used babygate to keep the carnivorous bunnies from eating each other. I think that I will have time to drop by the pharmacy on the way to get college boy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Jean, it sounds to me like you got a lot done, especially with driving three hours a day. I would have a hard time getting anything done if I had to be in the car that much! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I am exhausted by my Ds. Everything is a battle these days. So glad tomorrow is an all morning, outside FT! I can sit and read or visit with friends or go for a walk for 3 hrs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
