So...hey there internets. How's the parenting gig working out for you? Cause I'm sort of sucking at it lately. Well, really, only one thing, maybe two, but dang it, I'm tired.
I've managed to hold our household together for the last 11 months. I've fixed (or arranged for someone to fix) broken appliances, lights, etc. I've stayed on top of my children's schedule, making sure they did their work, got to bed on time, ate mostly good food, had all the permission slips and papers for school, doctor and dental appts made, and so on. And I've done well so far. Until school started.
We are in the 4th week of school. So far, I've forgotten to give one child lunch money one day, manged to get only one of them in bed on time regularly, fed them more non homemade food than in any given 4 month period before, had a child left at horse back lessons, lost both of my military ID's on the same day (they were found the same day) and been late to a million and one things. But today, today topped it all.
I forgot school picture day for Monster. Luckily, they still snapped a shot of him, and all is not lost. Cause retakes? They are scheduled while we are in Disney.
And tomorrow, my PB gets five baby teeth removed while under anesthesia. My SIL is going with us to sit in the room with her, because I'm afraid I'll freak out while she's getting sedated. Seriously, my stomach has been in knots and I've been on the verge of tears for the last 3 weeks just thinking about it. I prayed they would fall out, or at least loosen, on their own. One did fall out (it was originally 6) and several have loosened, but it isn't enough. I'm stressed and trying to hide it.
But you know what? I was the only parent in Bug's Chemistry class at open house tonight. Guess I'm not failing as bad as I thought.
But thank goodness my husband is home in less than 3 weeks. The brain is short circuiting from the overload, and I need the help.

How did the baby-teeth-removal go? Was there a reason they had to anesthetize her for that? I had to have about half of my baby teeth pulled by the dentist, and when I was about 7 I had to have my gums cut because though I lost my top front baby teeth, the adult ones didn't come in for months. The dentist said I just had tough gums.
