Today was better than yesterday, but that wasn’t hard to accomplish. I took another day off from work and went to the river. It was very choppy with the wind and I stared at it for a long time thinking about what to do next. In the end I talked myself into asking for help,…

I had a total meltdown yesterday. It came out of nowhere. Somehow I managed to steer myself to the park for half an hour. Not sure it made a big difference, but at least I tried. Maybe a small difference is ok.

After three days of pure anxiety at the weekend’s cheer competition, I have crashed completely. I’m pressing through it. Tomorrow will be better.

After a pretty good performance on Saturday, the girls had a drop on Sunday that landed them last place. Expectations for this competition were pretty low, so it wasn’t a big surprise, but it was still a disappointment. This photo is probably my favorite of the whole year so far because it shows that despite…

Oh my god the anxiety reached a peak for me on Saturday. The girls were supposed to check in for their performance at 1:00 and at 12:57 they were still in the hotel room putting on makeup. I called Billy literally in tears, bracing myself for the possibility that they actually might miss their competition.…

We are ready for cheer competition weekend! The girls have lost three team members in the last two weeks, so they’ve had to redo their whole routine at the last minute. We’ll see what this means for them, but there are four teams in their category, so they’ll at least place fourth!

Yesterday afternoon was a complete clusterfuck. First I completely forgot about Christina’s dance class. It wasn’t until I left to pick them up that I realized my mistake. The class had already started by then and I still hadn’t picked them up, so I knew we wouldn’t make it. Then there was a Tremendous Storm.…

Billy removed the tree that was growing in our gutter above the garage today. That ALMOST makes up for leaving me with a week’s worth of dirty dishes to wash. Guess he lives to see another day.

Staff meetings. Am I right?

I really wanted to throw every one of these dishes across the room last night. I’ve come up with a chore chart for us to go over as a family as a last ditch effort to more evenly distribute the work around the house. I am on the verge of completely flipping out.

It was another long day of training today, after which I got Christina and Jackson to join me in a quick trip to the park. The weather could not have been any more incredible, and I really regretted having to leave, but hunger calls.
-
Spent 90% of the day training to facilitate NAMI family support groups. It was more exhausting than I expected. Sitting still for that amount of time is very tedious. When it was done, I took myself for a walk around the neighborhood. I needed it. And I beat the rain.

The kids’ school hosted a movie night fundraiser at which zero people watched the movie. Kids were zooming by in every which way so that they were no more than blurred lines criss-crossing the semi-dark room. It was chaos, and all the parents sat in their folding chairs paying no attention while I curled up…

When in doubt, take photo of dog. It was a busy day. I am recommitting to Weight Watchers. I really need to lose about 30 pounds, which is doable. I tracked all my food today, but did not stay under my limit. I just always felt hungry. I don’t know if I just need to…

Work in progress. Lots left to do. I got some weeding done tonight, but there’s a lot more to go, then raking the leaves, then bagging it all up. I’m deciding whether to lay much when I’m done. The leaves will just fall on top of the mulch and they will be a lot harder…
