altarflame-the latest in a string of really productive and helpful counseling sessions
-5 wake up calls, breakfasts served, lunches packed, and camp drop offs, for Isaac, Jake and Elise
-feeling really lonely really often, and getting frustrated with how hard to reach and unable to talk Grant and my sister are
-feeling a spectrum from guilt to irritation about a few people who are calling and texting me really often, that I don't feel up to talking to - like this one chick from school who sent me 8 emails and kept calling til 10:30 the other night, when she was having final exam anxiety, and how my mother and grandfather are really eager for me to talk to my Nana - but only when all the kids are here and not after 8 and my phone gets no reception inside while I try to cook, all these caveats that basically make it really hard
-lots of communication with this new prospective illustrator for my nieces-and-nephews series of children's books
-not enough communication with my editor about where my royalty check is
-installing the C25K app
-making tacos, and a pot of soup, roasting chickens and vegetables, slicing a million tomatoes, browning too many mushrooms, heating frozen pizzas, cooking this stuff, french pressing (never enough) coffee
-hacking my lungs out anytime I talk too loud or too much
-drinking soooo much emergen-C, and forcing it on kids left and right, too
-two trips to the airport
-two dance rehearsals for Aaron
-one grocery run
-one gas station
-a totally creepy late night involving my (exterior) bedroom door being unlocked with my curtains moved, that was probably just about my kids, but also featured me seeing Grant's stupid fake arm and bloody hand sticking out from under the bed, SO I ALMOST DIED BASICALLY
-gratitude for and hosting of Gloria, who picked up the Grant's-in-Maryland slack so we could do what we normally do (mostly rides and supervision while I was in school)
-cumulative hour and a half coaching Annie through GCFs, turning improper fractions into mixed numbers, common multiples, longer division, inverse operations...if we don't work on math concepts for awhile, it seems, she COMPLETELY forgets them as though she never knew...
-triumph when she finished her (high school! as was the guitar class she finished) science class with an improved grade
-4 hours of late night studying
-lots of ongoing thoughts on Robert Maslow and self actualization - I uploaded 10 pages worth of my textbook here hoping other people would want to talk about it
-2 final exams, one other exam, and one quiz
-selling my textbooks back
-accepting my fall financial aid package, getting my disbursement dates, and being totally irritated by how EVERY FUCKING CLASS IS FILLING UP AND THERE WILL BE NOTHING ELSE BY THE TIME I CAN REGISTER ON THE 6TH
-starting my period
-feeling too aroused to live or be in public, too distracted by erotic fantasies, and too foot-stomping OVER sexual frustration (the frustration part, not the sexual part)
-scheduling our homeschool evaluations
-lots of texting about bee keeping resources with a PATH kid
-taking 300 selfies and then deleting 295 of them <--those are slight exaggerations
-conversation with a woman at school about why Santeria means she can't take a class on voodoo
-realizing I blew a speaker in our new car (THANKS FLORENCE I'LL PUT THAT ON YOUR TAB WITH THE DRUMMING SONG SPEEDING TICKETS)
-actually doing a modified day 1 of couch to five k (with sneakers on! Out in public!) and damn near dying
-cathartic and wonderful welcome home sex leading directly to blacking out and then sleeping in
