10.29.12: Drained

Dear Friends and Family,

I'm exhausted. P went to bed last night around 11. I went to bed a little later. And, the alarm clock rang this morning at 4. There are no words.

Mr. mouse has been working since sometime last night. P's application, which is due this Wednesday, is not complete because Mr. mouse has been working since sometime last night.

We have a school tour tomorrow. We have trick or treating on Wednesday. We have blood work and flu shots on Saturday. We have an open house on Sunday. We have a birthday weekend with a friend that is still in the planning stages. We have an auto race that's still in the planning stages. We have Thanksgiving which isn't even in the planning stages. We have gifts which aren't even in the planning stages. We have more applications, more school tours, parent interviews, kid interviews, and who knows what else on the horizon.

We have a green box now which is a new holding pen for P's stuff. If she gets fixated on an object and doesn't listen, the consequence is that it goes in the box and she can't play with it. It was comical when she went to trade and put the gourd back in and took the crayon out. I let her do it once, but told her no more trading. The gourd had just come out of the box so I guess she realized she picked the wrong item to liberate. If the box gets full, it gets donated and leaves the house.

We went to vote early voting on Saturday. It took close to two hours. But, it's nice to have that crossed off our list.

P went on a bike ride with Mr. mouse. Yay.

It's Monday. Wish me luck with staying awake today without the caffeine.


Cheers!
mouse
