I like routines. I liked knowing the basic schedule of my day when I wake up. I like having a general idea of the week to come. I'm not one oto plan out every day all day, but I do like routines. Have you ever had one of those weeks where everything gets so jumbled up? Yeah, that's my week... and I don't like it. It's thrown off my whole week. This is the last full week of school (they have to go back for Monday) for the boys. We were already going to be pretty busy and then everything went crazy.
Monday: The entire second grade went on their year end field trip to the zoo. I went along as a chaperone. Why do I do these things? I enjoy being the parent volunteer. I like spending time with the boys. I don't like all the whining, complaining, and sticky heat. I was in charge of three 8-year-old boys. Not my ideal situation, but whatever I could do it. So we began our zoo trip. It started out nice and cool and then the temperature skyrocketed. It ended up being int he 90s. And you know what that means... whiny, hot, sticky 8-year-olds and a lost patience parent chaperone. We got home and I immediately took a shower and changed clothes. Blech! While it was still not unbearably hot, we did have a lot of fun.
So that meant that Monday I didn't get any blogging, packing, writing, or other errands done. I had high hopes for Tuesday. No volunteering time, no specific appointments. I was going to go to the coffee house and blog.
Tuesday: I woke up to a kid with a fever. Great! There goes my day. So I took the other one to school and can back to cajole the sick one into taking some medicine. He was really upset that he couldn't play Wii all day. It's in the four season room where I think the temperature got above 100 degrees. So he spent most of the day curled up in the chair playing the iPad.
I got a lot done, but kept getting distracted by the sick kid. So my work seems very disjointed at best. I was due to start working on my Quote Wednesday post or at least picking it. And I didn't get around to it. I did catch up on my Hulu queque and finished my Disney notes. But i really should have been writing grad cards and blog posts.
Today: Another sick day for the boy. We finally got a prescription called in for antibiotics, but the pick-up had it's own obstacles. By the time I got back home, his fever had broke, but he was still coughing. Another day at the house. Another day trying to finished my weekly tasks, but not doing so great. I still have a long list to do.
Tomorrow?: Hopefully the kid will be good enough to go to school. The 2nd grade is having their hot dog cookout for lunch and I volunteered to help. I can't if the boy is still too sick for school. And the other one will be upset that I didn't come see him. Argh! Hopefully I can at least get half of the grad cards done and some Disney packing done.
Wish me luck! And Hopefully I can get back to my normal routine, cause next week is Disney vacation. Definitely won't be normal, but hopefully lots of fun.
