SO, my life is insane right now. no really, it's crazy and most days i can't remember if i'm coming or going let alone what actual DAY it is. they all seem to be running together. here's why:
1. i'm working A LOT. i pretty much feel like i'm living at the gym. i work everyday with a double on mondays and wednesdays. phew. taking care of other peoples children is really really hard work.
2. the mister is leaving in two weeks. TWO WEEKS people. we still have so much to do before he goes that i'm hyperventilating just thinking about it. we are working so hard at accomplishing the things at hand that i'm afraid the day for him to leave will show up and the mister and i didn't get to do one thing together that didn't involve work and stress. sigh. this makes me terribly sad.
3. i've been sick with a sinus and chest infection. enough said.
4. after taking care of other peoples kids, i get to come home and take care of mine. lucky me. the mister has been amazing at helping with the kids though, so i really shouldn't be complaining. but we've been having so many doctors appointments for wesley that i feel like we have been living at the random doctors offices as well.
5. i also have to grocery shop, find time to clean and because i make all my food from scratch, try and make meals that are healthy and nutritious but at the fraction of the time i used to do it in.
6. oh, and try to get eight hours of sleep each night.
as you can see, my life is not the best right now. i can't wait until our basement is organized and our wills are re-done and the mister's things are shipped out and when i'm working less. i usually love christmas time but this year will be a dud. my kids are only getting one present each (it's all we can afford) and then i'm taking them to a soup kitchen to feed the homeless. i figure after opening that whopping one present on christmas morning, they are just going to be twiddling their thumbs bored and missing their daddy. this way, they can see just how lucky they are with what they have and give service at the same time. it's a win/win really.
so, if i don't post for a while don't be offended. it's only because i'm wanting to tear my hair out or pluck out my eye lashes or i'm just screaming and crying hysterically in my car. but i'll be back, i promise. (hopefully with my hair and eye lashes in tact.)
