short
list of things that have happened this week:
croupy kids
fifths disease
head lice
lost the minutes for the PTO meeting
new radiator for van ($440)
new blower fan for van ($130)
grocery shopping with 5
grocery shopping with
3 yo and baby
attempt to watch Christmas Carol with
and baby (family friendly performance)
------------------------from here down happened yesterday/this morning
head lice (again for one and a new one)
girls 30+ minutes late for school and one home for the day
phone call from the assistant principal re: excessive tardies
note home from school re: excessive absences (7) for the Kindergartner
new radiator and temperature gauge for hubby's car - the one that got a new engine 2 months ago ($400)
lemon bars for goodie auction flop (won't set in time)
pumpkin mousse topping for cheesecake for auction too runny (fortunately the chocolate mousse cheesecake came out
and with extra mousse to share with the naked supposed-to-be-pumpkin one)
cranky baby with white bumps (teeth)
can't decide what to get hubby for birthday and Christmas
hubby is right now returning my Christmas present (elliptical) to pay for the car repairs (this actually kind of makes me feel better, given that I have no idea what to get for him - well, aside from the nowhere reasonable to be found GHIII for the Wii)
more yelling than I want to admit to, particularly re: getting to school on time this morning
I feel better. Let go, release, breathe, relax. Feed the crankman to sleep, finish work, reclaim the disastered kitchen, and consider a nap. Tonight I'm going to see Christmas Carol with E and S (and not
) and hopefully the weekend will be relatively relaxing.
