as soon as we move cos what we are doing now just aint working.
I seem to be averaging three or four appointments a week between my counselling, Lou’s counselling, TJ’s speech therapy, Lou’s physio, and everyone’s general medical/dental needs. We are also on the waiting list for speech therapy for Lou and today we found out that Lou has shin splints. Great. Just fucking great.
Then there is sport that we havent’ been making it to regularly but have just finished doing registrations for winter sports that will start in a few weeks. And the gym. I should be getting there and I’m not, I should be getting the girls there and their attendance is sporadic at best.
Then there is the new house hunting, old house packing and cleaning deal and the landlords ringing me up apologising for putting us on the spot but pressuring us to hurry up and move at the same time that I didn’t appreciate.
And now I have fifty gazzilion parent teacher interviews to go to next Tuesday after mid semester reports came out this week because that just makes sense for parents to try to get to see TEN DIFFERENT TEACHERS PER CHILD on the one day. I need to see 17 freaking teachers if I’m going to chat to them all. Won’t be doing it, just sticking with the big ones – english, maths, science, history/geography. Don’t get me wrong – the kids have great results – you wouldn’t know that our house has had some huge challenges this past term they are that good – but there are a few things that need to be discussed. Oh and PSLS – he’ll be on his way to South frickin Australia that day so no help there.
Then I have one child whining that they have to do ‘Everyyyyyyything around here!’ and another not wanting to do anything and the littlest one wanting everyone to stop bossing him and I’m ready to shoot someonething.
And why is the tennis court on the sports news purple? Purple! For fucks sake! That’s not a tennis court, that’s a painting accident in a sporting arena!
Sorry was distracted then blinded by the purple.
Where was I?
Oh yes, our after school routine for getting homework, reading, piano practice etc all done is non existant.
We aren’t even getting to fire brigade training – something that we all do together at the same damn time.
I can’t contemplate going back to vocal group, hell I can’t even manage to get around to everyone’s blogs regularly.
We are a shambles people.
*hangs head in shame*
We’d better find a new home soon so that we can get packed, get moved and get settled and get ourselves into a better routine, cos this chaos right now is driving me nuts!
(((hugs)))
Moving on its own is incredibly stressful, let alone adding everything else in your life. I hope School holidays give you a bit of a break and some respite.

So do I. I am hanging for school holidays and some down time even despite having to cancel our Easter camping plans.
You’ve got one hell of a lot of things to do and a hubby that is away part of the time. There are just so many directions that you can spread yourself. *sigh*

I’m about ready to shoot him too! lol He’s so busy being ‘away’ that he’s not been a great help/support while he’s here. I know he needs some down time but so do I dammit.
So much to do, so little time. . . Ugh, I know the feeling.

Yup, it sucks.
Ye gads – hanging your head in shame that you can’t manage a schedule which would make ANY sane woman faint, and ANY man fall on the floor in hysterics??? I think even Superman would give you a pained look and ask you to just feed him a kryptonite salad next time.
MWAH.
GO. EASY. ON. YOU.
You’re the only one of you that we’ve got. We like you NON-imploded.

And this is why I loves my interwebs. You gals always help me put things in perspective.
Thanks.
gah I hate that chasing your tail feeling… Here’s hoping that a new house will be a new beginning and everything will just fall into place after that.

Bits of you here, there, everywhere, no wonder you’re dreaming of getting it all together. I hope you get a new home really quickly, that’ll be one less stress for you.
Shin splints often go hand in hand with fallen arches. Have you tried extra arch supports in her shoes? I buy mine at Athlete’s Foot, my shoes too, I take out the insole and insert the arch support ones I’ve bought. When I first did this the ache intensified for a while while the feet and knees were adjusting to being properly supported, then the relief was fantastic. Now, when my shins begin to hurt I know that my shoes have worn down at heel too much and off I go to get a new pair, which I then insert the arch supports into. I found arch supports from the chemist to be useless. The ones from Athlete’s Foot weren’t cheap, but neither were they prohibitively expensive and they last. Mine are in their third pair of shoes now.
Moving bites!!.You never realise how much “crap” you’ve acquired till you have to move! lol. My older son had to have speech therapy. He had a terrible stutter all through primary school. We’d spend 3 months on the waiting list and then get one hour a week for 4 weeks…then back on the waiting list. What a freaking nightmare…and kids are so mean to anybody thats slightly different. It used to break my heart. All is well now. I hope you get some kind of reprieve from your business!!

Moving really does suck. I know I’m going to have to move within the next few years at least and I’m already dreading it. I hope it goes quickly for you and things are easier once you are settled.

I feel tired reading how much you have got on.
That is one hell of a full plate you have there at the moment.
Be kind to YOU.
