It's funny how stressful things always occur in multiples. It seemed like everything that could go wrong did go wrong yesterday. I know that's an exaggeration, but that's how it felt... The meeting at D's school (to get him in special ed) was pretty worthless--they just gave me more papers for the Pediatrician to fill out and scheduled another meeting in 2 weeks... I was late leaving work, and therefore was late picking up Big A and D from the aftercare program--thankfully, they didn't charge me extra for being late, as it was my first offence... Then, my oil light came on in the van, and when I checked it, I found that the dipstick was bone dry--it is a wonder my engine didn't lockup... I still need to take the van to the shop to have it looked at. I have no idea why it would be burning oil, and there are no visible signs of a leak. All in all yesterday sucked.
I am happy to report that today was much better. I did not get nearly as much accomplished as I would have liked, but I got some peaceful "me" time in. I had a single house call this morning, then spent the rest of the morning happily laying on the couch... Yes, I know that sounds lazy, but I desperately needed the rest.... I was actually smiling... I picked the kids up early, ran some errands, took Big A and D to soccer practice, bathed them all, fed them all, read them stories, and got them to bed all with a smile on my face... A "no stress" afternoon, what a concept... I haven't had one of those in a long time... As I sit here writing this I am not even bothered by the fact that my house is a shambles, I have to work the next few days so will have no time to clean, and I have company coming this weekend. I am still smiling.... scary isn't it!
