I have been absent. This I know. I am so tired right now. So tired that when the kids go to bed I am just minutes behind them. This is not like me. I am a true night owl. I have worked hard this week. I have us all up-to-date at work. I have taken a gazillion pictures this week, uploaded them and wrote all the fluff for them (highlighted descriptions). After all of that I still have a house to take care of and 3 little kids that have been extremely demanding. It has left no time.
Even now as I type I am fighting to keep my eyes open. My kids are very clingy this week. Brycen seems to be going through something he is just not willing to share right now but he is up to about 50 hugs per day and I am just frustrated that I don't know what is going on. He won't talk so I will be patient.
There is frustration with school work but that is another whole post. I had, what I thought, was a productive conference with Faith's teacher but then I found out a lot of what was supposed to happen has not :( I am going to the school tomorrow. Brycen's IEP isn't being followed, follow through on Faith is not happening and I am a disgruntled parent right now. I am tired and I am cranky and I am going to be the mother that every teacher despises tomorrow but I am tired of hollow promises.
I asked SEVEN WEEKS ago for Brycen to have an OT consult because he needs OT with sensory integration. No one has even spoke to the OT person yet. I am so irritated. Seven flippin weeks!!! I am sorry but that is unacceptable. Unacceptable. So tomorrow I will demand that they do something or I am going higher up. I hate having to be this person but maybe if they did something to help him he would not be going through whatever he is going through now. UGH!
We also got the prices for summer camp. Big UGH! It's going to cost us $385 per WEEK to put the kids in camp so that I can work part-time this summer. This is more than a week and a half of my pay. Anyone know any good but inexpensive summer day care? Seriously. I don't know how we are going to swing it. The camp goes from 9-4 and that is what the pay is based off. I need it from 8-1. It cost us an extra $10 per kid for early drop off and it doesn't matter that they won't be there til 4:00. They don't do sliding scale.
I'm tired. I am going to bed.
PS: My dad is doing well. I talked to him tonight. I will have a better update on him tomorrow when we know when they are going to let him leave.
Until then.....Sweet Dreams! :)

Have you thought of hiring a Salem State Student. That way you could customize hours and the kids could be home doing fun things with the Nanny. You might save a lot of money that way. I was a nanny and made much less than that :) J
