What a crazy, stressfull week! The hubs is out of town, it’s Homecoming, the younger two had a swim meet, and we decided to try water polo with the younger two. I planned everything out, but that’s really hard when things can change so quickly.
On Tuesday, I had a super stressful day. I thought I was prepared. I got up early and got my daughter up early so she could ride with me to drop off her brother. Kids were all moving, and we left to take my middle schooler to violin sectionals. The high schooler said he’s be ready to leave for the bus, and everything was looking good. We were waiting in the parking lot of the middle school (got there early) to listen to an answer to a question on the radio when the phone rang. It was my older son – he missed the bus.
So my daughter and i went back home and grabbed him. As we were driging to the high school, my daughter pointed out that if we drop him off she will be late for her bus. So we turned around and dropped her off at the house so she could finish getting ready and then went to the high school. My middle schooler called and said he didn’t feel good and wanted to go home. I told him to do his violin sectional and then I can pick him up. I dropped off my son pretty easily, but the light to leave the high school was doing this thing it does sometimes were it never let’s teh people leaving the school go. Luckily I know how to navigate that once unstuck, but it took way more time than needed to leave the high school.
So…I drive to the intermediate school and have to wait for sectionals to finish. I grab the kid and take him home. I wanted to be at work at 7:30 that morning, but I ended up being there at 8:15 and having a very stressful morning. Coffee engaged. Then I started getting texts from my high schooler that he didn’t feel good. I ended up picking him up at lunch time.
I was super bummed out because it was the water polo game (3x district champs!) that night and then the party. And we missed it all. I fed the kids noodle soup and got everyone to bed early. During the night I started coughing and then Wednesday and Thursday (today) I ended up being sick. Of course. The kids went back to school Wednesday. I dialed into a couple of things yesterday, but today I ended up crashing before the younger two kids even leave the house. I was exhausted. I am up now and plan to knock out a few work things because my boss is out of town for two weeks starting tomorrow so I need some inputs from him. Plus, I will be in charge so I need to make sure I know what all needs to be transitioned.
I have some soup being delivered soon which will be nice. Last night I had chick-fil-a soup which was yummy. This soup is part of a Walmart delivery that includes stuff for my daughter’s bday party since I need to start prepping for that.
Life is busy. It’s extremely frustrating when I plan things and the plans don’t stick for reasons out of my control. I don’t see things slowing down any time soon. This week has made me question my career choices (more like plans for my next step) which is not like me. It must be hard because the hubs is out of town and I got sick and my perfectly laid out plans did not work. I can only improve going forward!
