I used to complain that my life was boring. Not lately. In fact, I am wishing for some boringness right about now.
In the past few weeks, I have had 2 ex-grandparent-in-laws pass away, a new nephew born in another state, my parents leave to visit nephew leaving me without childcare, my children's uncle arrested on the first day with alternate childcare, my parents come home with the news that mom was having a medical problem that would require surgery, news that my children's father would be leaving the next day for Louisiana for a minimum of 3 months but most likely a year or more, along with being very busy at work and helping to renovate/decorate my new house. Did I forget anything?
Oh, I can add in the side dramas, such as a pregnant ex-sister in law, another pregnant ex-sister in law who is ready to deliver any moment - hopefully while her deployed husband is home on leave for the next two weeks, an ex-brother in law getting divorced and his new relationship issues, the arrested ex-brother in law is most likely getting deployed - not to mention his pregnant wife and all of their issues, my kids ending the school year and scrambling to work out summer child care, waiting for my tax incentive to come so I can really fix some things in the new house, getting acquainted with our new ward/neighborhood, getting the kids registered into their new schools, and doing all this with an almost constant headache.
And my schedule for the next few weeks looks like this: tomorrow I am assisting at our company's golf tournament from 5 a.m. to around 8 p.m.ish, I am supposed to go to my sister's opening night of Annie tomorrow night if I get home in time, same sister and her husband are going through the temple on Saturday, mom's surgery on Monday as well as the girls' counseling sessions, a Relief Society picnic on Tuesday where I am expected to teach them to make a fruit wrap I have never myself made, a work party on Friday that I have to attend because one of my bosses is helping with it, Annee is helping at a friend's daughter's wedding on Sat the 12th, Jessica and Wil getting sealed on the 19th, and...I can't remember, but I know there is something else coming up.
I want to stop the world and get off...for a month or so would be great!
