It was a weekend of lots of noise, stress, a few tears shed over the Distributive Law of Algebra, too much apple crisp, not enough movement.  And not enough sleep.  That about sums it up.  Oh, and HOA meeting, did not resign yet. Volunteered to meet with landscaper at 8:30 am tomorrow before work.  It’s all my own fault.

Sleepver was exactly what any sleepover with 8 children from ages 5 - 15 would be: crazy.  But trying to do schoolwork during it?  Certifiably insane.  I am actually GLAD it is Monday!  Except that I have therapy at 4:30 and not much to discuss.  I am sure it will come to me.

Food today:

  • Breakfast: Jumbo Rice Krispies, half banana, 1% milk
  • Snack: Pear
  • Lunch: Chicken Salad on Honey Wheat Bread, Pretzels
  • Snack: Other half banana, 1 dark choc square
  • Dinner: Either taco salad or Buffalo chicken wrap

4:30 Therapy.  6 pm dinner, time with kids, laundry, dishes, cleaning, lunches … 7:30 pm workout?  8:30 - 10:30 reading/school work?

Sigh.

Oh, Saturday was the first day I have seen MBFF since the incident, though I am not sure what the incident itself is?  Oh, standing up for myself? Doing what I think is right instead of what she wants me to do? Yeah, that was it.  She acted as if nothing had ever happened, as if there weren’t a weird gap where she didn’t call me for four weeks but IMed and texted me daily.  Ignoring is not the answer either.  Then she texted me yesterday - didn’t just pick up the phone to call, TEXTED - to ask me if the kids could stay a couple extra hours.  Typical me, I feel guilty, but really ladies I couldn’t do it, couldn’t take that many extra kids running around because I HAD to go food shopping and get some work done … so while I didn’t say NO outright, I was very annoyed that she didn’t ask ahead of time, and also then I had to provide lunch for five extra children when I wasn’t planning or prepared for that!  So she did come and get them (but still was an hour, hour and a half later than usual) and I haven’t heard from her since.

And I am okay with that.

Okay ladies, have a good day.  Be healthy!
