Okay - ds1 broke a bone in his hand last month. Since then, he's had one clinic visit, one ER visit (6.5 hours), one specialist visit, one FP visit, one "hand clinic" appointment, one appointment for fitting a splint and one physio appointment. I've also had to scribe a ton of his homework for him. I drove him to a class field trip (end of year horseback riding), because he had an appointment in the morning that caused him to miss the group ride. That was an hour each way. After he had two appointments, one after the next, I got a call reminding me of a dental checkup the following day. I went ahead with that, because I suspeted a cavity (he had one, but it was in a loose baby tooth, and didn't need to be filled).
All this stuff has left me feeling as though I'm spinning in circles. I also needed to fit in a chiro appointment for me - I have a dental checkup on the 4th...same day as ds1's final hand clinic appointment.
DS1 is also "graduating" from grade seven. Yesterday, we went out to rent his tux and shoes (and tophat, and buy a cane - those are from his banked allowance, though). More errands.
Last night, ds2 puked up everything he'd eaten, and was coughing and puking and stuff for about 45 minutes. Then, he was done...fell asleep and slept as usual - woke up ravenous and nursed a ton. Everything's fine. Three hours later, while eating some banana, he started puking again. I'm going to get him checked out. Doctor's appointment is at 3:00...ds1 gets home from school at about 3:05...doesn't have his keys, because he accidentally left them at a friend's house last weekend. DD is out with my mom, visiting a friend about an hour from town (friend of my mom's who specifically asked if she could bring dd). They're getting back about...3:00. So...had to get hold of ds1 at school, and have him make arrangements to go to a friend's house after school...have to catch mom while she's not driving, and let her know that she needs to take dd to her house, not my house, and I'll go there to pick up dd after I take ds2 to the doctor.
I'm sick of it. I don't know if I'm coming or going. My grocery shopping and meal planning have gone down the tubes. I've had a bug in the middle of all this, and I'm so fatigued (not sleep deprivation...this is weird...like that first trimester fatigue, yk?).
Help!! How do you mamas keep all the balls in the air? The last month and a half has just felt like constant and utter chaos. (Life with three kids is always somewhat chaotic, but this has just been...cubed...or something.)
