Ugh. Summer vacation is officially here. The kids have been some since Thursday last week, and I’m already losing my mind.
It doesn’t help that I’ve been basically single parenting for the entire time, when I’d hoped I’d get some time off instead. Usually, on a 3 day weekend, my husband would definitely take the kids out of the house for at least a few hours on one of the days. But he was out door dashing Thursday-Monday all day trying to get some extra income coming in.
Now, I’m used to being home with my 2 and a half year old all day every day…that’s one thing. But adding the other 2 boys into the mix? Phewwww that’s an entirely different beast. You may be only be adding 2 kids, but you’re easily quadrupling the noise level somehow.
So we’ve been spending a lot of time outside, before it gets unbearably hot here in Texas…although it was still 90° this weekend 🥵
Today is Tuesday…even though it’s giving huge Monday vibes after Memorial Day yesterday. I have therapy tonight…which is good…but I’m always nervous before going. Not as nervous and anxious as I was in the past, before I switched therapists…but a different kind of nervous. Like, I’m nervous it’s going to be intense, or make me have feelings or something.
It’s not a bad nervousness, but a nervous feeling nonetheless.
Christian got his 2nd cast cut off this morning, he’s been in one for 6 weeks now, so I’m excited to see how he’s healing and if he’s done with casts, or if he’ll need another one put on still waiting on the doctor, so we’ll find out shortly.
I spent my nights (and other free time I found myself with) crocheting. I made a cat bookmark this weekend. It came out pretty cute. I think I’m going to make some pressed flower bookmarks too, I think they look really cool.
Anyway, that’s where we’re at today. Surviving, hanging in there, and grasping at sanity however we can. It’s been a long week, and it hasn’t even been a full week yet 🫠
I’m hoping therapy goes well tonight. I don’t know why I’m particularly nervous for it, but I am. Maybe I just have a lot of feelings I’ve been suppressing that know need to come out. It’ll be good, whatever it is. Im already looking forward to tonight, coming home from therapy and being done for the day.
I know the week has only just started, but it feels like I missed out on an entire weekend. Hopefully the rest of this week goes smoothly and quickly and I can hopefully manage to find some time for myself at some point.
But, until then….we’re surviving. Sometimes that’s all we can really do.
