L has one of his cough cycles going. It's so frustrating that he gets sick and stays sick.
lP is so busy with cross country, band and competition band. She's constantly missing one for the other. Serving 2 masters is hard.
I have class Monday night, and Wednesday night. I have work Thursday night. Friday is football games. Tuesday is my only night home during the week. It is rough.
There are several classmate/co-workers who want rides and it isn't a big deal to give rides but it is extra time and stress to accomodate them. They don't have kids or cars so they don't see how waiting for them makes me late.
I got to go mountain biking with my friend A on Friday. I started an "Active ladies" group last year and it has been a source of joy to be able to have a group of women who like being active. We have gone caving, kayaking, mountain biking, hiking, walking, swimming. I love that connection.
We're planning the primary program right now and it is a bit tricky trying to figure out how to fit 65 children + teachers into 50 seats. My expectations are at ground level. I think it's going to be great.
This weekend I'll go to Atlanta for a conference about sign language and hopefully connect with other people that share my dreams. But part of me thinks I may end up doing medical SLP work because I'm good at anatomy. Nobody seems to want total communication for deaf children so maybe I'll just go do something else.
M is at college. G is in Gtowne figuring things out. His medical withdrawals have put a snag in his financial aid. I've made some suggestions and offered help, but he has to decide to do the work.
Parenting adult kids is tricky. I miss them so much but am also glad they are out trying their best.
