What can I say? It is always extremely busy here. For a long time I thought this break neck pace was normal, but I am starting to see the light. Not exactly sure what to do about it though.
Since I have last checked in, here are some highlights:
- I took the kids to the aquarium since it was FREE (except for moi)
- Babysat 2 extra sets of kids on two different days
- Had oldest son’s 6 year check up, complete with 3 other children observing the shot ritual. Always a good time.
- Got my hair cut and colored – first time since May???
- Had a follow up with my surgeon who told me to come back in 6 months
- Drove out of state for a birthday party with 3 kids while hubby stayed home with 1 sick one. Chuck E. Cheese and I are no longer friends.
- Drove home from said party the same day (2 hours both ways)
- Attended another party the following day
- Called the dryer repair guy only to be told that it would cost at least $350 to repair Ole Bessie. Time to go shopping. May she RIP.
- Took oldest son for an ENT appointment, with others in tow, where we FINALLY, FINALLY decided to get the tonsils out. Can I get a whoo hoo?I have been pushing for that for 3 years and today the doctor looks me in the eye and says, “well, if he were MINE, I would take them out”. I didn’t know whether to kiss or smack him. That will take place in early November.
- Took all 4 lovely, well behaved children to a second doctor’s appointment for youngest son who has bronchitis. I had to provide some of their behinds with a gentle reminder on proper behavior at said doctor’s office.
- Took my van in to repair the damage from when my dad backed into me. I am now cruising in a LOVELY Toyota Sequoia rental. It’s pretty sweet. Too bad I have to give it back.
- Went to tennis practice, only to get rained on, so I headed to the gym instead.
I still have about 89 million more miles to go to get through various tasks, activities, and responsibilities for the week. I can’t wait for November. October has been one wicked mutha.
Oh, and I know that you know these activities are all in addition to the usual 7 million daily responsiblities like cooking, cleaning, laundry and kid maintenance. Just wanted to clarify that for the dads reading out there.

That IS busy – even for you! Is your head spinning? I’ll pray things calm down for you – though with tonsil surgery coming up, that may be hard. PLEASE let me know if I can do anything! As for the dryer … our stinkin’ dryer was what prompted us to get the new front loading pair (that and a big rebate from Lowe’s) – I’m telling you it has changed my laundry life!! Hang in there.
