dyk I am getting the shelf from the dining room ready to be moved into my bedroom

dyk and in the process utilizing my cabinet space better by throwing some crap out haha

dyk and so now all my decorative glass (that can't be out yet - kids are dangerous) are safely tucked away in a locked cabinet to be used for adult parties :-)

dyk I organized our junk drawers and school supplies and sharpened about 50 pencils

dyk and then a touching song came on and I cried hysterically in my kitchen --

dyk and now I have to start round 2 of fitting about a week's worth of stuff (on OTHER People's deadlines) into the next 2 hours before I get dek off the bus and then we do homework kids club until 5 when dinner is ready and bedtime routine and then I'll collapse on the couch with Sean -- too tired and unable to cry in front of him

dyk one day he'll know how hard this is for me to support him and Abi like this and he'll love me for it -- just not today.

dyk, I'm actually considering hiring a personal trainer

dyk, at the gym downstairs, you can buy just the training packages (without a gym membership) and they are reasonably priced...

dyk, but I feel like doing that would be cheating on my kettlebell instructor since she is also a personal trainer. And I KNOW that when she's in PT mode, she gets me to work HARD.

dyk, but...her rates are about 4 times as much as the gym downstairs. So there's THAT to consider as well.

dyk, but I don't know how worth it would be for me to even have a trainer...except with one I'd actually do more than cardio

dyk, decisions, decisions

dyk so I go to pick up Sean's antidepressant script to find out that insurance rejected it -- saying coverage was terminated 12.31.11 which is interesting b/c they covered his really expensive med on 1/9/12

dyk this one I just paid for outright -- a whopping $23.00 lol

dyk A's dad wanted to bring A's bike over so that if there was time, she could ride outside and work on gross motor stuff

dyk okay, I committed to HOMEWORK lol not a full occupational therapy camp! haha

dyk I told him no -- not right now -- it's all I can do to get homework done and where there is time left over (we're talking about 10 minutes maybe) I send them out back where I know I don't need to be out there with them so I can start dinner
