Just went back to work to finish up the school year (and get my summer pay!).
It's been a challenge to say the least. Thank god for coffee. It's more the organizing and getting out the door in the morning than anything else, on limited sleep at best. Lannin was sleeping in 3-4 hour increments until I actually started back and then regressed to every two hours, probably for comfort. Thankfully I only returned for 2-3 weeks, though they seem like really long weeks...
Since returning I've done some pretty dumb things that I know about- not sure what dumb things I don't know about...
- I backed into a stationary trash can in Davis Square- outside Starbucks naturally. The homeless gentleman on the street thought it was amusing, luckily no damage done.
- tore the house apart looking for my keys before work and found them in the ignition of the car from the day before. The car was parked in the exact spot where a car was stolen about 3 months ago
- dropped and shattered an iPhone
- after going away for the weekend we left behind (luckily at a family house), an iPad, my wedding rings (I think), a puzzle, a book, and then when we arrived home on Sunday and unpacked realized Chris's car was at my work from leaving on Friday
- gone to an appointment on the wrong day and time and rearranged my own, Sam's, Chris's, and my mom's schedule accordingly so that I could do so
- emailed the wrong teachers about the wrong timeframe at work
- remembered food for a volunteer breakfast at work, for Vivian, for Sam, for myself, but not milk for the baby at the babysitters so got to spend the day pumping and running a milk delivery service across the street between teaching, meetings, and interviews
- forgotten at least 8 kids names at school and called several by the wrong name
On a positive note, school ends in three days, and to date all of my own kids are accounted for, fed, and clean. And right now, by some miracle sleeping, which I'm sure won't last for long.
