The good news is that many of you will only have to listen to me bitch and moan about taking on more than I can handle for two more weeks. After that the gig in San Francisco will be over and I will go back to being just normal stress woman rather than this giant ball of majorly stressed dear god make her stop complaining all the time and why did she even think of taking on this gig in the first place woman that I have been all summer.
The good news is that school starts on Tuesday. It starts when #1 has to get up at 6am to catch her bus at 6:40 and continues until #3 gets on his bus at 8:10 and #2 gets on his bus at 8:40....2 hours of getting people on buses. Honest to Pete. If this district had a brain they'd see what they're doing to people - how do you have that kind of morning and then go to work and try to function? Um....but school starts on Tuesday and #3 will be in school full time this year....so there's that.
The good news is that I had a major birthday and so far have not fallen apart. There were moments when I thought I might. When it occurred to me that we have lived here for 3 years and I don't actually have any friends who might come to a major birthday party if I were to throw one and that we still live too far for most of our friends or relatives to attend anything like that. But I'm still alive....so that's nice.
The good news is that we went van shopping last week. And I was completely unable to pull the trigger on the van. The thought of dropping that kind of cash even though we need the space and we could afford it had me wondering if we wouldn't be better off getting new windows for the house or making other changes rather than spending it on a van. So...I'm still a freak I guess.
Sending some non-stressed-out vibes your way... and a (((hug))) too. Glad you survived the big birthday. I'm almost at my big birthday plus one. I'm still alive too.
