I’ve been a little silent over here. The blog may be quiet, but life certainly isn’t. Life is feeling very stressful and overwhelming at the moment.
Dentists appointments. $$$$
Emergency Room visit $$$$$$$$
Eye doctor appointment and new glasses $$$
Plumber visit $$
Doctor removing stitches $
I feel like I’m spinning one hundred plates, but I’m not spinning them well. I think I’m at the point where they are about to all come crashing down on me.
Last week, I spent several hours in the ER with Chloe. She had to get some x-rays and five stitches. If you are picturing a cut that needed closed, don’t. It was awful, but that kid is a champ. She handled several numbing shots so bravely and read Betty Bunny books to me. We got home at 12:30 AM, and were both exhausted. She wasn’t allowed to write for the first couple of days, so she was giving me the answers and I would write them down for her. No school missed that way. She gets the stitches out on Friday if everything goes well.
On the farmhouse front- the news is still the same. As long as nothing big happens, we should get to move in once they are done fixing things up. I will update as soon as I know. I won’t be able to hold that excitement in!!
The big girls are getting new glasses. The eye doctor had to tweak their prescriptions a little bit, and he said they are almost identical. So odd. Can we petition vision insurance companies to cover kids frames every year?
I just finished reading I’ve Got your Number by Sohphie Kinsella and it was SO good that I read it in two days. It was really entertaining and I was anxious to find out how it was going to end. (There was a lot of foul language, which is such a disappointment to me.) I love reading novels, because stories are so fun. But, I end up not wanting to put them down. So, I can only start one on the weekend. Is anyone else that way, or do you love to savor them?
Yesterday, we had our 100th day of school. Most of my big exciting plans for the day were squashed. But, we did still do some fun projects. The kids had a blast and didn’t know about the plans I had that never happened. I think we are too hard on ourselves as moms. My kids had so much fun with their 100th day, but all I could think about was what I didn’t get done for them. How silly..
We’re all really excited about Valentine’s Day. It’s always fun to make everything into heart shapes and remind people that they are loved. Do you have any big plans for V-day?
Happy Tuesday, friends! I hope you are warm wherever you are.
