First off today is easy but work. I need to get up and do a few routine things before. After work one of my new co workers is coming. She will meet all my critters and decide if she wants to stay here or just come a couple times a day and take care of them all while we're away in a couple weeks. Honestly just pick up a few things and a little straightening in the kitchen will make it acceptable. If she stays it will require some cleaning to corners again.
Then tomorrow is off.. so called. School run. Dentist 830. Bible study 1030. Hair apt. 130. Then I just realized tomorrow is half day school and I should go see this bunch of teachers again. Ds is a different kid since he started high school. Suddenly his goals are that of getting into a university later and needing all the high end classes to do it. I have to remember to book that this morning. 3 ish?
He's still got his quirks. Telling me he would like to be in a city cause he can disappear and be anonymous in the population..? And sitting playing game and when it doesn't go well smacking himself? Not liking social. And not liking distractions.
Anyways that was a rambling planning post.
Kittykat dad took to that point of view when mom was still home. A very good method. He kept it for a moth or so . She really could have had a little more time to get to some details but did a good job. At this point he doesn't very often have people there it's just him. A battle I choose to let slide. I'll help occasionally but soon we need to help more with downsizing and selling. He has started doing some repairs. New rug for the stairs. Tile for the front entry and under the woodstove. And he fixed a hole in the wall from that first fall a couple years ago signifying something happening with mom. So stuff is getting done now. Getting doctors onside and legal stuff going. Medication for him. Taxes is on dh agenda today. And who knows what computer/ phone plan things that are almost getting harder for dad than easier. Ohh goodness I am so thankful for a super patient dh and my administration talented sister. I feel like all I can do is be a listener and tack on mom care and do the urgent I need this right now errands. I should probably go one day and spend a couple hours getting some details in the house again. After I catch up on my own stuff. Phew.
Oh I don't think I shared my other news yet. Which is the other part of the whirlwind. So same night as I got the news of my aunt... dd called a couple hours before... we are going to be grandma and grandpa again. She's due early September. Story of my life.. happy and hard all together
