It’s been a whirlwind of a day. I was up by 8:00am, Ryan had opened and was enjoying his birthday present (an iPad loaded with tons of autism-oriented applications and games) by 8:30, the cat litter box was scooped, kitchen floor swept and carpets vacuumed by 9, and by 10 I had taken my brother down to the storage unit to get a few of his things out (hoodie, backpack, a couple of games). I’ve tried to stop in at the storage unit’s office on several occasion to get the auto-billing off of my credit card so I can give everything to my mom, but the woman who runs the office either isn’t there like she said she would be; or in the case of this morning, was there (at least her car was) but the office was locked (!?). So I give up. I’m just going to go ahead and give everything to my mom as-is, and take care of the billing issue later.
I started my period overnight. A week early, in fact (thanks, Mother Nature). I woke up to a bloody mess (and I mean that in the literal sense, not the British cursing sense) and hellish cramps that have only gotten more hellish as the day has gone on.
Right now my head is spinning from a combination of Midol/pain numbing goodness/vitamins and spending the last two hours sorting through paperwork, making phone calls (and leaving voicemails with everyone – what the hell, people? It’s Tuesday; WHY AREN’T YOU IN YOUR OFFICES?!), and generally trying to figure out what all I need to do to get my sixteen year old brother settled here and ready for school, up to date with appointments and such, medications (I only have about a week’s worth), etc.
Alyssa has some friends over, Ryan is at his autism preschool (his last day is next Thursday *cry*), my brother is playing on the PS3 in his and Ryan’s bedroom, and Dan is watching Dr. Who. Now I just need to get myself un-ADHD’ed, so I can settle into the groove of working. Wish me luck!
P.S. Adorable birthday pictures from this morning:
P.P.S. Slacker Radio is awesome. Thanks Dan and Jason for getting me hooked on it!
P.P.S. I just remembered I had an optometrist appointment today… and I missed it. Fuck! I also missed a doctor’s appointment this morning. Fuck x2! Let me go call both offices to apologize and reschedule.
You just like twittered/facebooked/or posted about that appointment and you missed it still? Wow, you were going non stop!!! I wish I had about a days worth of ADHD mode in me so I could get some crap done. Instead I’m in slacker teenager on summer break mode. Good thing school starts in about 2.5 weeks so I can get back in the groove.
I love how Alyssa is wrapped up sitting around…just like Sydney does! BTW HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN!
Be careful if its the app. It was the cause of my whole sd card being wiped clean on my cell. Others have complained of the same issue.
Hey Jenn! happy birthday to your little man. I’ve been following your site for awhile, and I just wanted to let you know how wonderful you look! I’ve been thinking about weight loss surgery myself, but I am still debating. Congratulations though!
