She reminds me gently I haven't posted in a while. She tells me I need to finish posting about our vacation.
I just look at her and wonder where she came from???
She even offers to paint my toes or do dishes so I will sit down and blog.
I still don't get it.
Here is why I haven't blogged in no particular order:
Since July 1
We have had baseball
We have had summer volleyball
I have had memory therapy...yeah that went really well till I actually forgot an appointment. That would have made a great post!
I had a child in Lego robotics...1/2 hour drive one way.
A child golfing weekly till mid July
summer dentist appointments
orthodontist appointments...put child #4 in braces
Throw in some physical therapy for the eldest cause she is a klutz when running late for work.
Church garage sale that ate up 30 hours of my life in one week...fun yes, but still that is a lot of hours for a crazed stay at home who rarely stays home.
My helpful eldest who shares driving responsibilities went away to Kids Camp the first week of July. That really didn't help much.
Fall Volleyball started
Fall soccer started
College research started....
College enrollment worked on cause she is a senior and she can take 2 classes a semester this year.
Dog started having weird symptoms, talked to vet. They think he is in the early stages of Doggie dementia. Like I really needed that in my life. But he has these eyes and ears and well what are you going to do?
Cats that catch baby bunnies, birds, snakes, frogs and mice and create all sorts of a ruckus as a result.
In other words, the animals can derail a day as much as the children can.
We started school last week. What was I thinking????
I lost 2 sets of middle school curriculum. Science and English.
Ordered replacements and found it all a week later.
But hey, the storage room is cleaned.
I cleaned Fun Girl's room for 6 hours and made $50. Yep, I charged her for cleaning her room.
Also, accumulated a pile of clothes to put on EBay.
Sorted Boys clothes, another huge mountain of clothes for EBay.
Sorted through Hockey gear and soccer gear...more EBay
Took about a thousand pictures for EBay. It is easy to do. Then I edited and deleted some.
Created High School transcripts.
Working on scheduling a college visit before sports have us out of town most of our fall/winter.
Planning a get away with Little Princess
First Aid on 2nd degree sunburns on kiddos this summer....4 times. You would think we would get a handle on that.
And Memory therapy/Brain therapy is E x H a Us Ti NG !!! Like taking the ACT exhausting. Requiring naps. Anything that challenges my brain...that isn't saying much....almost requires an early bed time or nap.
I re-learned my Math Facts!!! 8s, 9s and up
Learning to work math faster. Accepting I need to write most problems down now if I don't have a calculator.
Making lists everywhere cause well that is how my brain rolls these days. Memory therapy helped a lot. But I am "high functioning" so there isn't much they can do to help me. Time and working on it and maybe I will get it all back, maybe not. At least, I am high functioning... I try to be grateful for that when the frustration builds about not being like I once was.
Trying to put the house back in some kind of order after this past winter and spring.
Sleep blessed sleep...which is where I am heading now.
Life can be Hard. Life is Full. Life is Good.
I am hoping soon, very soon, I can sit at the computer and do some more blogging. Fun blogging.
With pictures maybe.
But for you my dear Fun Girl, my latest update. :)
