This week has been huge. What with working 3 jobs and trying to keep on top of the housework, organising the kids and all of that, you can imagine I am under a fair bit of pressure. It is suprising how happy I feel about it all though. I think because I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Yesterday I had an urgent call from the accounting firm to get some stuff done for them. No drama I said, but it did take a bit of work and had to call into their office. Just another thing on the long list. I am going to be working most of the weekend though. Just the price i guess.
Im going into the Real estate office today- will make it a short day as Thursdays will be my usual day off. I just want to get it under control so I can start next week on a more even keel. The adrenaline is pumping, but I am not under stress which is great. So much to do though and I really have to work to tight deadlines this week.
I am really suprised how well the kids are handling the change, and that they are stepping up to the plate.
Brent is getting used to the idea of walking Jack home from school. Apparently its funny to watch. He makes Jack walk in front so he doesnt dawdle along and marches him like the little Hitler he is. Brent really expects his brother to behave not like the 9 year old he is, but someone much older. The only thing I really hate is how he verbally abuses Jack though. We are having to come down on him pretty hard about it. Jack is called Gay all the time....and it really really is inappropriate, but how to stop Brent? Wish I had more ideas on this.
I am too suprised how Brent is settling down to his homework and not getting on the computer after school. I think we have finally got him into the idea that this year is important. It is great to see though. I could never have imagined that he would be doing it so well.
Stef is using her nintendo DS more and more. Its great that she is. We have to get that PECS program on it over the weekend. It will be great to have a way for her to communicate her needs to carers. I find too that she is attempting to speak more and more.
Steve is in Sydney until tonight.
Last night was funny..ran into a friend from my previous employer...she hadnt seen me for ages, and could not believe how much weight I have lost. She kept turning me around. 20kg lost, 15 kg to go!! and Im already in a size 12!
Anyway, time to get moving....lots to do and little time to do it like usual!!The story of my life!
