It’s raining again. It’s supposed to rain for the next several days. I’m having a very stressful work/life balance week.
Monday: I have to get my allergy shots sometime in the morning. Then, the kids have a minimum day (they get out at 12:20) and then Prissy has an appointment with her allergist (different than my allergist – damn insurance.) Then, we have to go to baton (but at least that’s after work.)
Tuesday: Yay – I should actually be able to work all day. Bubba has baseball at 4:30 which hubby is taking him to. But, I’m sure it will be raining.
Wednesday: I’m already so stressed out about Wednesday it’s keeping me up at night. I have to pick up my son and the boy across the street at 1:20. I’m attending a big-wig meeting from 11 to 12:30. It takes me about 45 – 50 mins to get home. If the meeting doesn’t run over, I should be able to make it – BARELY! I’m the one “running” the meeting – projecting the presentations – etc. So, it’s sort of important that I’m there. I’m totally freaked out. Totally.freaked.out… I’m sure it will be just fine. But, holy smokes… Then, at 2:30 - I have to take Jade to the eye doctor. She doesn’t get out until 2:20. While the place is close, it’s not THAT close. She usually doesn’t get home until 2:30. I’m writing her a note so she can leave 10 minutes early. YIKES!
Thursday: This day should be ok. I hope. I think. Maybe I should check the calendar.
Friday: Prissy has an award luncheon at 11:45. I’m thinking I’ll just work from home. Otherwise, I’d have to drive in, only to leave at 10:45am. Doesn’t make any sense. But, we’ll see.
So – you see the fun of work/life balance? I thought it would be easier as the kids got older – but it’s gotten nothing but more difficult.

This was what my front yard looked like today… Pretty no?

Tomorrow I’m going to use the words epic and ferocious. If I remember.
Tonight at the dinner table -
Me: Bubba you need a cup for baseball this year, they won’t let you catch one without one.
Prissy (singing to the tune of “Spoonful of Sugar” from Mary Poppins): “Just a cup full of sugar makes the medicine go down!!!”
Family staring at Prissy like she is nuts… (pun intended)
Bubba: “Prissy – a cup goes on a boy’s privates so it doesn’t get hurt!”
Family: cracks up into hysterics.

Friday, Prissy and I headed to San Jose – she had a baton competition on Saturday and we went up a day early. I have been reunited with a high school friend on facebook (I’m really enjoying facebook – never thought that I’d be one of “THOSE” people.) Anyway, she lives in the East Bay and lives just a few miles from the hotel we stayed in. So, my friend (who shares the same first name as me), her husband and her two adorable little girls came and had dinner with Prissy and I. It was really wonderful to see her and to catch up a little bit. I hope we can get together again soon.
Saturday was my birthday and Prissy’s baton competition. Prissy did very well and twirled wonderfully. But, it was a very long day – and it was a long drive home. After we got home, we went out to eat and then came home and opened presents. My family spoiled me like always. It was really nice.
I got to sleep in today, which was needed. Well, I got to sleep in until the pharmacy called me and said that they were going to send back my perscription because it had been a week since I had ordered it. It was ironic, because I didn’t order it, I just gave them the little sheet and asked them to put it in their computer so I could call it in when we needed it. But, they filled it anyway – and then called and woke me up on my one sleep in day. Nice… But, I suppose it was nice that they called before reshelving the medication.
Anyway, I’m still feeling tired. We watched the Superbowl. Well, Hubby watched the superbowl, I watched the commercials. Bubba played on the computer and Prissy played on my iPhone. I read in-between commercials.
