- OMG it has been a long, busy week – from solo parenting a couple days, to all the stuff to prepare for FSU to go back into session Monday – and I am exhausted already. On top of that, getting adjusted at the chiro also makes you feel fatigued so there’s that.
- Both boys got their flag teams – Isaac is on the Patriots in the next league up and they apparently won their division last year; Ell is back on Coach Peter’s (Boulware) team – so we’re pretty happy. Isaac’s coach already sent every practice date – organized! – and I know Ell’s coach is good; he freaking won a Superbowl. So yeah, I’m hopeful for a good season.
- My oldest has so far this week forgotten his lunch and an important homework paper. I don’t know how to handle this; my immediate reaction is to be mad and ban him from something like his tablet but that’s probably not productive. I need some kind of plan to get him to remember his own stuff, to take responsibility for it.
- We have to practically empty our kitchen this weekend because the painters come Monday. They’ll be sanding and painting the cabinets, the walls, and then the doorjambs, etc throughout the house. I mean, we have to be READY. And I should have been doing more all week but hell, we are just busy.
- In about an hour, we have our fall meeting where I have to welcome back 150+ grad students and remind then of the stuff they need to know. It’s a big thing and I am just ready to get it over with and prepare, mentally, for all this stuff!!
