Worked extra again today - finished the last touches on the Mother's Day gifts the preschoolers will take home to their moms tomorrow.
Trying to make some decisions about my oldest's medical path. I feel like we're at the limit of what we can handle to pay for (our portion after the insurance pays.) We visit with the dr today - maybe there will be more info to make a clearer decision about what we should do. All I know is my head is swimming from trying to work out the figures against what funds we have available, talking to the insurance company, and yes, helping my daughter get through it all too. Insurance seems to be a big game that I wish had easier instructions to wallow through.
The busyness of the day continues through the afternoon and evening. In a bit I pick up my oldest for her dr appt. Afterwards, we head from there to the schools again to pick up my two youngest from each of their Girl Scout meetings. We eat a very quick meal at home. Then head back to the school again for the 5th-8th grade year-end band concert, which include my two middle girls. Then onto the homework - yikes! Finally, the two youngest and I need to pack for an event at the Girl Scout camp this weekend. We stay overnight on Friday and spend the day doing activities - and I'm so not in the right frame of mind for it! I will give myself a stern talking to, and make a great effort for the girls. (Grumble, grumble - GS is great for the girls, but why, oh why is everything packed in at the end?? Ok, all done with that.)
Boy, enough of the whining for me...take care!
Head is swimming...

I can still remember my GS camping trips...so you are creating lasting memories...I hope you can carve out a few moments here and there to just unwind a little.
Take care and enjoy!

I am sorry about all the hard decisions you have to make. Sometimes you just have to put in someone elses hands-if you know who I mean! :-)
I had to sleep over two weeks ago and next week for GS. I know when you go with more than one of the girls, how hard it is to split yourself, when most of the other moms are just with one. Last time we went to mother daughter I was with all three! And when I came home exhausted and just wanted a shower, my husband presented me with my mothers day gift, another dog. Gee, more work, just what I wanted.
Don't give yourself such a stern talking too - just a gentle nudge and you will be fine! I'll be thinkin of you!
