Working so hard at the moment, it really feels as if I am doing little else. I am very conscious of making sure I get enough rest, but the reality is I am so damned tired. I can't wait til this time is over and I can settle into having a normal sort of life again.
Still having trouble finding a nanny for the kids. I do have one girl who has been recommended to me and who was trying to call last night except I had left my phone on silent so I missed the calls. Will call her today. The stress has gone off it a bit though because Marie said today that she was happy to do it until October. I just feel that maybe 4 days a week is a little too much for her. She is afterall a 75 year old.
She is so great with Stephanie, and I can see a real bond with them. Stef really is amazing. She does get attached to people and realy interacts well with those she trusts.
Brent is doing his English SACs at the moment. I can only hope that he gets through ok. Its hard to explain to him that he really needs to get through unless he wants to be a sign man....you know the guy who stands with the stop and go sign at road works. I can't think of any job that would be as boring as that. I know stuff is happening at school, but Brent really isnt talking right now.
Melinda is going ok, as she does. Normal kids just grow like weeds..they adapt to so much and learn so easily. We were simply amazed as Melinda grew as she just learnt stuff like a sponge. Most parents just don't appreciate how easily their kids learn in comparison.
Jack is having major frustration levels right now. He gets frustrated so easily and the tantrum and self abuse that happens is just awful. I really hope we can teach him that frustration is just part of life and that not all of frustration deserves a full on tantie.
Stef is happy....she had a huge empty out on the weekend and so feels good. She smiles and laughs so much. She has trashed her room yet again....grr, but whats new about that. I will just clean it all up again. Thank goodness for a great washing machine lol.
The car is going in to get fixed today after the accident a couple of weeks ago. At least I get a hire car to get around in.
Onward....so so so much to do today!!
