Monday. We all five had dental appointments, back-to-back, in the afternoon and the grandparents wanted to pick the kids up for lunch. So, I told everyone Sunday night that they could just do their workboxes (essentially their core, independent work) and suggested that they go ahead and work on them that night. They went to lunch and we went to our dental appointments where we discovered that Megan had three cavities (yes, she brushes regularly, yes, I check her teeth, and, yes, we go for cleanings every six months...very frustrating!), one of which was hurting her, so that completely altered the rest of the week.
Oh, and, then, I left the dentist, rushed to the library, picked up a friend so that we could go a weight-loss meeting sponsored by our local YMCA and Chick-Fil-A (which involved FREE membership to the Y for three months). Then, it was back home to a crock pot meal and getting everyone ready for bed.
Tuesday. We had to be at the pediatric dentist's office at 2:00, which, for those who know me, is right in the middle of our school day. That meant that we had to rush around getting as much done as possible before lunch so that we could get to the dentist in the next town over by 2:00 for the consultation. Then, it was home, tie up loose ends, complete some housework and out the door to the gym.
Wednesday. Josh and Megan's music classes, so always a busy, busy day.
Thursday. Megan had to back at the pediatric dentist's office for the actual fillings by 9:00, which, again, for those who know me, means we had to be up at the crack of dawn to get there on time. The older kids took schoolwork and books for the two-hour wait. Poor Megan felt awful after it was over. I got everyone a milkshake on the way home and we spent the rest of the afternoon doctoring Megan and trying to catch up on laundry and cleaning.
We didn't have much time, though. Briana and I had an appointment at the Y in the early evening to begin the weight-loss (or, in Brianna's case, the toning) program. From there, it was rush home and head to dinner at my cousin's house. We got home just in time to get everyone changed and off to bed.
Friday. Today has been spent trying to recover. The kids were to do their workboxes and we've also been trying to clean up this disaster we call home. It amazes me how much mess three kids can make without seeing that there is a mess. It looks just fine to them. Grrr!! And, don't even get me started on the mounds and mounds of laundry, which contains clothing from one kid that I'm fairly certain she hasn't worn since the last time it was washed.
If it tells you anything, I currently have my iPod stuck in my ears with Kenny G playing, while I try to take deep, calming breaths. Surely next week will be more settled.
