So, I’m preparing for the school year. Or am I?
Well, I’m trying to, and finances are making it VERY difficult.
But I really need to focus. I have a Preschooler (K-4), 1st grader, 6th grader, 8th grader and a Junior in High School this year!
I need to look into a new math program, since the oldest, _him_, and I had a conference and decided to ditch the old math curriculum.
I need to start placement testing, with the oldest on down.
I need to get the 1st grader brushed up, and prepped for the biggest year of her life, so far as education.
But on top of it all, I need to get some more freelance work so I can pay for it all, plus a new computer since as the kids are getting older 2 and half is just not enough. Not to mention that the half a computer (MAJOR dinosaur pentium 133mghz laptop) is on the fritz and needs some more major TLC to be revived, if it’s possible for it to be revived, yet again.
Okay, while that old thing is booting up next to me here (had to boot into safe mode, ugh, white screen with streaks up it is what came up at first, sigh………… the time this sucks out of me could be so better put to use, I am sure) what else is there?
Why am I blogging with all of this going on you ask?
Well, to kind of get myself focused. I found myself dashing off in all sorts of different directions and really needed something to just kind of give me an internal deep breath.
At least the killer headache I had all day has subsided a bit. Too bad it’s taken so much 800mg Ibuprofen to keep me dazed, but less-suffering. Benadryl (2 of them, in fact, when I usually only take 1) did nothing for me.
So, now that I feel a little bit more refreshed (writing does that for me), and the old lapdog, as we affectionately call it, is going through a system restore (yes, the thing has nasty Windows ME on it, twitch), I think I’ll attempt to get a couple of things done, then crash, so I can get started even fresher in the morning.
