Uhhh... I feel like I should post...
Last Tues was rough, the child acting out and my sick ass SUPER low on patience. And my phone DIED. But I went to the doc, got meds, we baked a cake and as an apology, totally unbidden, Devin did dishes, and she did a good job too! Great kid, that little girl there. Art Night at Sarah's that night was interesting to say the least, but it helped break my funk and for that I am grateful.
Wed we just chilled at home till belly dance. I'm feeling overall better, but I'm enjoying just staying at home more right now... Working every other Thurs, started last Thurs. Was rough, but I'm helping out and the OT is not too shabby either so I won't complain. Fri was... work. Saturday I kinda home-bodies again, but I didn't want Dev to get cabin fever, so we went out so I could try to get my phone fixed (fail), then went to the Hawthorn Mall so Dev could run out her energy. She had a blast.
Sun and Mon kinda sucked. We've been REALLY busy lately. Good for work, but HARD on us. Yesterday after preschool Devin played on the BGPD playground for something like an hour and a half, then I went to the Arlington Heights center to again try to fix my phone. They were able to do the factory reset, and it seems to be working now, 'cept NOW it won't connect to my home wifi. It was before the reboot cycling. FAIL. *sigh* After that we... *surprise!* chilled at home. I wanted to clean last night but I was just TOO distracted and I could NOT pull my ass together till after midnight. I DID finally swap out some stuff in my room that I've been meaning to do for ages, so that was good, and my room looks neater than it has in AGES.
Today I only got like 5 or 6 hours of sleep, but for some reason was still bitten by the cleaning bug. So far today I got the VAST majority of the clutter junk in my room thrown out, changed out Aiden's litter, took all the trash out to the dumpsters, cleaned my bathroom, did dishes and wiped kitchen counters, and now I'm working on putting the last of the clean laundry away and getting the common areas neatened up enough for me to vacuum. I think it's been an unacceptable amount of time since I've vacuumed...
I am starting to peter out a little, but I've only had a bowl of cereal so far, so I'm fairly sure that is part of it. I kinda wanna vacuum before I settle down to eat again. We'll see.
OK, I think there is an impending melt down so I need to go try to diffuse the bomb. More soon my pretties.
