Well.. School has finally started again. My daughter is the only one left in school, and shes a senior this year, so hopefully no more hellish weeks like the last couple.
Getting the school supplies
Getting the clothes
Going back to get school supplies we forgot
Shoe shopping... I HATE SHOE SHOPPING!
Now shes out of eyeliner. Why couldn't she mention this the last two times we were in The Evil Empire (aka WalMart)?
Thats okay.. Now that shes in school, shes come home with lists from each class of supplies shes going to need. So we'll be going to WalMart anyways to pick up a scientific calculator, 7 one-inch, three ring binders, a package of printer paper, poster board, art supplies and whats left of my dwindling sanity. We'll get the eyeliner then. *grumble, grumble*
And, I'm working extra days because all the other drivers are taking vacation time and the boss lady/she-beast is being exceptionally tyranical these days. I'm doing the best I can. Not sure what else she expects.
My mom was hospitalized for 11 days so we took care of her apartment and her animals, but now shes on oxygen full time, so every day, we check in on her. Mom has always been a strong, independant woman. Now she seems to fragile, so I'm a bit paranoid for her, ya know?
I know "normal" is a very subjective word, but I'm really holding on to the illusion of what "normal" could be. Think I'm gonna go get me some ruby slippers, click my heels together three times and say, "Theres no place like the Bahamas. Theres no place like the Bahamas."
Ya'll just ever get to a point in your life where you want to stand up and just scream, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!" and you hope everyone finally hears you?
I'm there, man.... I'm there....
