SKL Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Good morning! My kids are off school and my boss is out of town. But I have a couple of overdue projects to work on, so I can't take it too easy. Here's some proof that I need more coffee: I saw the words "substitute position" above and had to do a double take because my eyes / brain saw "prostitution." (Dyslexia does run in my family.) Up in the wee hours on the internet. Slept in until about 8am. Boss called and gave me a headache. Must keep the words to a minimum before my coffee. Changed arrangements with kids' driver for this afternoon. Having coffee and checking social media / emails / news. To do: Work work work work. Hopefully the kids' teacher contacts me with a time to meet. I missed the deadline to schedule online. Bad mom! Bills. Kids are on their own for food and (if I am up to forcing it) cleaning up their messes / rooms. Kid 2 to horse riding - driver will drive, unless the teacher's meeting time is an issue. Some housework on work breaks. Whatever else gets done. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I've officially decided that this will be our last year with AHG unless my kids step up and beg to continue on their own steam. Probably should have done it last year. Too much stress on top of all the other stuff we do. And at their age, they are supposed to be driving it anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our troop has certainly experienced it. (Though we sometimes also get new girls at around 5th-7th grades.) There is just not time to do everything well and kids need to choose a few things they really enjoy to focus on. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteryJen Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I am trying to get motivated to finish some things, but I am annoyed because I found out I need to replace a crown at the dentist. This one tooth is going to be the most expensive thing I have ever had done to my body-a root canal and two crowns. Jeepers. Also, I had lunch with my dmil who is planning to move into an independent living facility after Christmas. She completely has her head in the sand about the HUGE house that has a TON of things in it. She doesn't have to sell immediately which is good and will let her move to her new place with less emotional upheaval, but she is in denial about certain facts, such as she is downsizing from a 3,000+ sq ft house to a one bedroom apartment and that if she goes through her things at the current pace, she will die before even one floor is empty. Why am I the point person? Because I am here, unemployed, and she likes me. It is like this looming stress filled horror show... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Stuck at a gas station without my wallet, with almost no gas. With Dd, who needs to be at AHG in an hour. Dh is coming, but traffic is awful. At least I got Ds to his meeting. This is what happens when we are TOO BUSY! Rush, rush. No time to think. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) Dh to the rescue! Traffic is nil bc of Fall Break! We made it to AHG and Dd is laughing with her friends!! Edited October 18, 2018 by ScoutTN 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink and Green Mom Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Ugh. I subbed today and then worked over 2 hours with my tutor student then chatted with his mom for another hour so here it is 8:00 and I haven't laid eyes on my own kid's school work, there is no dinner, and oh yeah - DS17 got a speeding ticket on his way home from school. Jen, I feel your pain. We did that with my husband's grandparents and it was terrible. We also had to help his parents downsize from the family home. I still have nightmares about all the "treasures" and the "how can I part with these halloween costumes from 1972" that went along with it. Then they get insulted when you don't want their junk. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Well I worked a lot today, but don't have much to show for it. Had a lot of communication about stuff that I've been over again and again. Somehow it comes out to be my fault. The client has so much turnover I can't get anything done with them - and I don't have time to keep re-training them just to see the next person leave in a year or less. So today this guy is chiding me for times I've told him I need a quick turnaround. Well I only need a quick turnaround now because nobody did anything the last 10 times I asked. Or because I got delayed by the 100 extra things they needed me to do. ? Went back to the chiropractor to get the "boot" they ordered for my kid, and it was too small - my kid's toe hangs over the front, but the doc said use it anyway. Whatever. Bought some squishy tops for the crutches she is supposed to be using. But she is cheating and walking and running without the crutches. Says her foot is almost as good as new already. And she wants to run in the 1-mile race on Sunday. Doc says no. Both kids are being a pill and a half today. Kids' friend's mom texted to ask me if I would take her kid for half of tomorrow, so he doesn't have to sit home alone all day. I said fine - but my house is a mess. Then I remembered the maids are coming tomorrow, or at least I think they are??? I am feeling too lazy to deal with all of this. I told the kids to clean, but they are not exactly spiffy maids.... All in all I'm feeling really impatient right now. (Please tell me this is NOT hormonal.) I still hold out hope of finishing one of the things I was supposed to do this morning .... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
