Sigh of relief

The past few weeks have been chaotic. We do chaos in this house like it is going out of style so it really isn't anything out of the norm. We're in the car running here or there more than we are actually anywhere in particular. The only thing different is that there has been this little cloud following me along the way.

The cloud is panic or maybe it has been dread. Dread for starting a new job, right in the middle of summer. Deep down I am kinda excited to get back with adults all day talking about adult project things, however I wanted this to all start in September when the kids go to school, not in August when summer is still in full swing and completely crazy.

We are also in a complete childcare quandary. Little man will be going to kindergarten, however kindergarten here seriously feels like it is only about 43 minutes per day. Actually he will be gone 2.5 hours which is not really a long enough duration for accomplishing much of anything from a job perspective so I needed to find additional childcare.

The other kicker is I really only needed childcare for about 5 weeks. Oh, yeah and did I mention he would have to attend morning kindergarten instead of afternoon with the rest of the neighborhood? Oh and another thing...all of the childcare options I have found through the district or through gracious friends are full. The hits just keep on coming... AAARRRGGGHHHH.
Deep cleansing breath...

Well, somehow I got my wish. Cargill called yesterday and the project has been delayed due to another project "crisis" and will not begin until September. Plus, my lovely mother has offered to stay with little man each morning and will get him on the bus for as long as the project takes.

Last night I slept better than I have in weeks.

Sigh.

Sheesh, Susan. I was having a panic attack for you. I'm glad it's all working out.

Little man can come over here any 'ol day. :-) You know, since you spend so much time in the car.

Six weeks

I am sidelined for at least six weeks. No tennis - no good. My bad wheel turned into immobile wheel today thanks to an air cast. Not the most attractive accessory. I had been trying to continue playing with the plantar fasciitis guess I figured it was going to be around for awhile so might as well deal with it. This plan actually worked out for the best because when I was playing on Thursday there was this loud pop in the bottom of my foot. Suddenly my heel felt better, so I thought, "Maybe it released all of the bad heel juju into the rest of my foot." Well, it was something like that. Evidently I tore a ligament in my foot which the doctor told me is really the best thing that could have happened. The reason why is it cured the plantar fasciitis. Plus the recovery time for the ligament thing is about six weeks versus potentially months or years with the other. So all in all I guess it was a good thing to tear a ligament. I am bummed because I can't do any exercise for t...

Have you met my friend Jane?

I am a complete Jane Austen junkie, in fact I think that I need to maybe seek help. Shelly tells me I need help and we all know Shel tells it like it is, so it must be true. "Hello, my name is Susan and I love Jane. Jane Austen." I read "Pride and Prejudice", annually. Yes, every year I spend a weekend with Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy. Now that I think about it I may need to skip my little tradition this year because I have so many other never read books piled up and there is a due date looming from the library. The reason I share this closeted truth with you my friends is because there is a TV event starting this weekend on PBS. It is basically the 10 weeks of Jane, every Sunday night PBS will air a adaptation of Jane Austen's novels. Here is the schedule. So, if you have never had the opportunity to get to know Jane, maybe it is time. Think about it, there is no new TV, it's cold out and you can learn new some new sayings for Monday. Nothing ...
