At my daughter’s swim practice. I have gotten a bunch of work done so things are going well. She’s in the pool, and I worked on my laptop for a while. I buttoned up some loose ends I didn’t get to at work. It’s fun watching her when she’s having fun. At water polo she smiles a lot which is great. We are still going to have her swim though because we like it for her. I am thinking about signing all 3 kids up for water polo in the winter but just doing practice for the boys and signing her up for games, too.
My mommy stress peaked today when my son needed a ride home from middle school because he didn’t have any good carpool options. The kid is not willing to take the bus, but I can’t just leave work every day to drive him home. I really don’t like that I left work early because he doesn’t know how to ride the bus. It is for sure frustrating. It makes me feel so bad to leave work like that. Plus it was raining and driving in the rain is not at the top of my list of things I enjoy. OK, let’s be real – we might get more stress tonight when we review homework status. 😛
Two more days until I take my hubs to the doctor to follow up with his orthopedic surgeon. We still do not have his truck, but that’s OK. I don’t know if he will even be cleared to drive although that would be nice. It is my understanding that they will just be giving him a limited range of motion on his knee. He is still in a lot of pain so we will see. I need to cancel my dentist appointment for that day. I am too busy trying to juggle it all for the dentist. I love clean teeth, but it will have to wait!
I am mentally planning to not travel for Thanksgiving, but hubs still has not cancelled the hotel room. Luckily we were planning to drive (we were considering renting a car but had not) so that we could take the dogs. It’s actually a nice break before water polo starts again. I guess we will see what happens.
I do have a girls trip coming up in December so hopefully he’s in better shape by then. He could survive without me around, but i make things easier. Kids would also have to behave while I am out to make it all work. Wish me luck!!
