Today's a weird day. I took the morning off to take A to the dr over her constant belly complaints. I feel like they're going to say it's attention seeking, but I have to check. Then, I have training from 1:30-3:30, so I won't see my classes this afternoon. I was so tired, but slept like crap. I really wish o had family close that could take my kids for 1day so I could rest and recharge. Sometimes I feel like I need meds or something, but I'm pretty sure I just need a me day. I'm just exhausted and overwhelmed all the time.
I'm sorry, vthokie. It is so hard without a string local support system.
I slept like crap worrying about Thad's first day of preschool. I'm nervous for him because it has intentionally been a year since we had him do anything new and I wonder how he will handle it. I'm nervous for me because it puts more work on me to move him from preschool to daycare at noon.
Unfortunately, I have to pull him early today from school as we have to go to my H's grandma's funeral. And a vet appointment from vaccinations after I drop B off.

First day of school!!
I'm so sad about V's bus . Last year it came at 8, this year 7:36!!! That's so much extra time on the bus and even more pressure for her to go potty at school. I'm so nervous. And it might be a new bus driver/matron, I really hope it's not. Ahh!

Also my period is a week late.
Not really concerned because I have PCOS (can have irregular cycles), my husband had a vasectomy (but hasn't been cleared yet) and we haven't even gone unprotected yet. ( I also peed on a year old expired wondfo for funsies).
But the funny thing is that I felt so crampy and certain it was coming on Friday and I think I willed it away with the power of my mind, lol. I reeeeeally didn't want it for bebeetmoi's wedding weekend, and somehow my witchcraft worked. I don't feel it coming at all now.

Out of my friends, there are five of us that went to college together. Of us five, four of us have kids. One of my friends had her second baby over the weekend - a girl. Now, all of us have two kids and they are all girls. There are no boys out of all our kids. How crazy is that? As a math person I should calculate the odds, but I haven't had my coffee yet.
It's Theo's first day of school (the new kids start a day early to ease in). I'm so nervous for him. He's my cuddly shy one and doesn't like being left alone places. I decided not to put him in Max's class which I know is probably best in the long run but is making me sad today.

vthokie, when I was a teacher, sometimes I would plan mental health days by saying I had a doctors appointment, that way I could have the lesson plans all ready and have a nice day off (granted I was young and single, so I spent the day off doing much different things than I would now, lol).
Take a day!
rjamz, good luck on the diet! Whenever I think of doing whole 30, its the no coffee thing that gives me pause.

sunshineluv I need to take a mental health day. Unfortunately, I save most of them for the kids being sick. It's also crazy busy at work this month. I need to find an acceptable day to take

Today is Henry's speech evaluation. I am nervous. Then I am taking him to his new school, I was going to keep him home, but he did so good on his half day there... and three days at home for the long weekend, I think he will have more fun at school. I hope I am right!

mcburglar , I hope T surprises you today. ((Hugs))
Thanks! I'm surprisingly doing ok without the coffee today!
First day of school here too for k and m! M was so excited!!
Such a busy morning - therapist arrives at 7 so we need to be up showered dressed and have breakfast before we arrived and she doesn't leave til 9 and we need to bww to school at 9:15 all the way across town
B started at his new school today! He kept telling me how he was going to remember everything so he could tell all his teachers and friends at his old school about it. He still hasn't grasped that he's not going back yet ok, yeah, and I'm in a bit of denial and sad about it too.
On the other hand, E is pulling out all the toys B normally doesn't let him play with and having a blast!
Owen's first day in kindergarten is tomorrow, but we had to go for an hour today to see his class, meet his teacher and fill out some paperwork. He was so so shy and nervous. I hope tomorrow is easier for him.
Last night was Violet's first night in a big girl bed!!!! AHHH!! We hadn't planned on it being so soon, but last week was rough with her, so we picked up a bed on sale at Ikea. We decided to list her crib for sale and just wait until it sold to make the switch. Well, it sold in less than 24 hours (I should have listed it for more apparently). She wouldn't nap yesterday at a reasonable time so we just kept her up to hopefully make bedtime easier. It was a breeze and she slept well all night, so hopefully we're good? We'll see today I guess!

Henry did so well at the speech eval! He listened and answered her questions. They always listen to other people better than their parents it seems! He didn't get shy or clingy.
She doesn't recommend speech therapy. He is on track for 4 years 5 months (exactly by the score he got). She said when he says a sentence or starts talking fast, he isn't as clear, but that he can make all the sounds to be on track for his age. She said we can work with him at home, by correcting and over enunciating sometimes. For example when he says the work blue in normal conversation it is not understandable "bwuoo", but when he slowed down to repeat her, it sounds like "blue". She said if we are still concerned we can bring him back in 6 months for another eval.
We will still have another evaluation through the school system, whenever they call me to schedule it. I am surprised, I really thought he would need some assistance.
I spent my weekend dreaming of Christmas and cooler weather. Got a winter coat for Logan ordered from LLBean, and ordered our tickets for the Polar Express Train in December. I'm so excited! It's the real train the book was based on.

I just got an email I have two phone interviews on Friday (same job)! The job isn't really posted yet, but the group wants to expand, and my friend sent them my resume. This would be a job that I would like the job and the salary would be amazing.. but the commute would suck.
The fact that two directors want to talk to me is a good sign they liked my resume? Right?... I thought I would be talking to someone in HR first.
