I'm back

I've been so busy I've had no time to blog. At least the blog name is sort of a disclaimer in and of itself. You would probably expect that there would be times when things are just way too chaotic to post. I've been very busy at work lately and the kids have been busy with their stuff too.

I was supposed to get off of work at 3:30pm today and I knew that there was no way I would be out on time so I called daycare and told them to give Maura a bottle if she got hungry. At about 4pm I started getting worried that I wouldn't be out in time to pick Clair up from her speech meet at 5:30pm because things still weren't looking very good on my bench. I called DH and he said that he would pick up the 3 youngest from daycare, Raleigh from after-school daycare, and Clair from her speech meet. **sigh of relief because I didn't even know where the school was located that the speech meet was at** Anyway, I finally get done and am about to walk out of the door at 5:30 and DH calls and tells me he didn't have time to pick up the 3 youngest from daycare and asks if I can go and get them after all. Yikes! I thought he already had them and although they're technically scheduled to be at daycare until 5:30 I usually pick them up earlier, and besides that I would have called to check on how Maura did with the bottle since it's the first time they've had to give her one. I was soooo stressed out by the time I left that place today.

In the end, Clair won a 2nd place ribbon in the speech meet, Raleigh missed his cub scout meeting, and Maura reluctantly took her bottle. I'm still stressed out because of all the studying and getting every body ready for bed and all that stuff. I just feel like I've been in high gear all day long and I need to slow it down. I think I'll go and get a nice warm (almost hot) bath now.

Thing to be thankful for today: Nasty UTI seems to be clearing up with antibiotic that my dr called in for me.

Thing that sucks today: I already have a huge to-do list (left over from today) at work for tomorrow and I have to leave early to take Maura for a well-baby visit so I'm looking at another fun-filled day of stress.
