I started this seemingly ages ago, but in reality only this morning, now it's 11:40pm and it seems that I have lived several days inside of this one day. Simultaneously it feels as if I have done nothing all day long, the truth must lie somewhere in between.
I did go as the adult for SP at sort of a Thanksgiving Open House at his school, it was really fun and he goes to an amazing school, I was glad to be able to see him there and to be able to be the kind of community I believe children need. I did clear up the financial issue that was oppressing me this morning. I did pick up all of the people (today's count was 6) that I was responsible for picking up and delivering to their destinations. I did make sure dinner was ready to be cooked and helped cook part before taking Prima to her school event. I did take Prima to the barn (with TR's company) and wait while she rode for a while. I did require Prima to go to the school function she did not want to go to (that comes out sounding pretty horrid, it was a function of her school-within-the-school, and she has missed a lot of these events and actual classes so far this year, it was not just a dance or something like that). I did go pick her up at 11:30pm and not force her to spend the night (it was an overnight event). So it has been a busy day, but there was time to sit on the sofa and eat lunch so it wasn't completely full, it only felt like it.
The rain has faded into soggy sidewalks and cold grey skies, the kind that bring along terrific headaches for me. I have felt as if my head were in a vice all day, but it will pass as all things do. I am feeling the weather turning, my general outlook is bleaker than usual, and it is harder to laugh than it is when the sun is shining down on me.
Oh my goodness, I am so tired, parenting has worn me to a nub, I must go to sleep to replenish! Goodnight!
