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.

in the words of the legendary Chris Daughtry....
be careful what you wish for, or you just might get it all...
:) happy rest of the summer.
Little man can come over here any 'ol day. :-) You know, since you spend so much time in the car.
Great news about the delayed start!! And your mom, of course, bless her heart! Everything happens for a reason. Enjoy your August!!
