I should have stayed home today. This day is just already going to hell in a hand basket. It started last night. I couldn’t sleep for anything and then Katy insisted on sleeping with me because she was afraid of the garbage truck coming in the middle of the night. Then it was one dream after another, none of them good, of course. I tossed and turned and tossed and turned, and just I don’t know. The last time I remember looking at the clock it was 1 and then my alarm went off.
I am so tired today, and still have the dreams running through my head. Then today the girls were slow as molasses getting ready. Then Libby had a meltdown because her hair didn’t look just right. She’s only 8. Can this really be starting already?? I got it fixed for her, but she mentioned something about a girl in her class making fun of her and her teacher getting upset with her, so I guess I’m going to have to say something at her conference next week.
With the way this morning went, I really wish I had my kids Monday through Friday. It would make the morning go so much smoother, but this is what was best to keep them at the same schools. I have a feeling I’m going to end up having to pay tuition, though, before this whole thing is done, and if I do, I’ll pull them and put them in a local private school rather than pay for public school. Other than that, though, everything is going smoothly. We went grocery shopping last night and got home, had a nice sit down dinner, got baths, and went to bed. It was a good night…until what I mentioned above. Hopefully today goes by quickly and we can go to girl scouts and get home and get a good night’s sleep.

Aww that sucks. We have those same meltdowns here with our almost 8-year-olds. I think it's because they're girls!! Do you know what we're in for later??? UGH!!!
It sounds like yours is doing pretty well though despite all the changes in their lives. I'm sure you'll have more days like this, but it will all be better in the long run :-)
