I'm really stressed out and in an absolutely horrible mood tonight. This is going to be a challenging week for me on a number of levels and I'm not getting off to a good start.
First and foremost, the kids are going to be adjusting to the new school year starting. They're both excited but anxiety is high because it's a change and there's many *unknowns. *
We can expect many meltdowns.
I'm sad to see them go back because I love having the kids around all the time but they need the routine and we need the break.
The free time is going to be spent on Gavin because we have things to figure out and we need to put together a plan in order to address them. At the moment, he's tippy toe dancing on my last frayed nerve because we can't help him if we don't know what's going on. We desperately want to help him but we can't get reliable information out of him.
There are several appointments we need to make for him still. He needs to be seen by rheumatology, genetics, the eye doctor and his gastro. We're waiting to hear back about most of those but we've got psych and hematology already on the schedule.
On top of all this, we have follow up and first time appointments for both Lizze and Elliott coming up as well.
Before any of these can happen, I have to get the car fixed *again. *We think that the caliper on the driver side froze up. As a result, it ground the brake pads down and warped the rotor. The pads and rotors were just replaced a few months back. That sucks big time.
We won't know anything for sure until I get the car into my brother.. I'm really worried about this because the car is past its expiration date and is very quickly becoming a money pit.
On the positive side, I'm supposed to have two new advertising partners begin this week. We desperately need the income but I'm nervous because companies like this don't always follow through. Until I invoice my first campaign and get paid, I'm not holding my breath.
Of course, we also have the giant pink elephant in the room, otherwise known as my 40th birthday. That however, is for another post.
