Okay... I know all of you are probably wondering what's with the magic trick title. So I'll explain. For years Joey made sure that I believed there was no way in hell I could make it without him. Then when Brandi and I got together he really started in on the "y'all wouldn't be able to afford all this without me", "if I don't make the money then you'll lose everything", "without me, all of this is gone". Well guess what?!? He's been gone for nearly 2 months and we have it figured out. The car is refinanced and now has lower payments. The household is running smoothly for the most part. The kids still have everything they need. And all the bills are paid and up to date. What money we are able to put back over the next month will cover necessities for back to school. But after that's taken care of.. we should be just fine. I guess it wasn't so much of a magic trick as it was strategy... But hey, here ...
Yesterday was by far one of the worst days I have had in a very long time. Normally when I say I have had a bad day it means the kids have drove me crazy or something simple breaks causing an inconvenience. No! Yesterday was a bad day. Let's start with the fact of nearly waking up too late to get the kids on the school bus. I guess due to being up late dealing with sinus drainage, I didn't hear my alarm. So there I was all scatter brained and rushing kids out the door. I was running almost 20 minutes late and the kids were just minutes from missing the bus. Then let's add the fact that I had a vet appointment for Bridget. That actually went pretty well until the worlds biggest German Sheppard scared the crap out of her and caused her to go into an anxiety attack. And when I say this dog was huge, I mean huge. The damn thing was bigger than I am by a long shot. He gave me anxiety. But poor little 19 pound Bridget was terrified. Her muscles ...
I would be lying if I said this week has been any easier than the ones it followed. It's actually been more hectic than the weeks before. With school being out longer than what was originally foreseen, well it's been a pain in the ass. I'm actually hoping that school decides to tack on a week or two once they do return. This momma needs a break. But if we are being completely honest... I wish they would continue the school year through most of the summer.. or at very least offer summer schooling. I think that would be considered fair since my kids fight me so hard on doing their school work and turning it in on time. Homeschooling is definitely not for the faint of heart. It will drive you insane. On the plus side of things, we got a midweek visit from Daddy. His load schedule allowed him to come home for 24 hours in between loads. So yay for us. Brandi and I both needed some Daddy time. The kids weren't so happy to see him though. They were all in troub...
very cool
