The Trials of a Busy Mom

Things to do today

1-Fix my dang tooth so that I won’t scratch my face off. Yes, you did read that right. I got a temporary crown on my tooth last week, and I think I must be allergic to the cement or something, because once the numbness wore off, I broke out in a full blown allergy attack, with sneezing, runny nose and all that. I’ve tried to manage this with allergy meds, because it’s probably just something else, right? Who is allergic to their dental work? But anything I take to manage the allergy makes me so sleepy I just want to sleep for a few days. If I go half a day sans the meds, my mouth feels so itchy, my throat gets scratchy, my eyes are itchy, and I seriously want to scratch my face off. I broke down and made an appointment for today. Crossing my fingers!

2-Plan out my skit for my schoolwide assembly on Thursday. Do I have the skit planned out or even know who is going to help me? No. Do I have pirate stuff? Yes.

3-Find out if my slide show for the same assembly has been done. If not, START SEVERE PANIC.

4-Clean up at least some of the house so it doesn’t look like the bomb squad has been here. Over the weekend, it was John’s birthday, so we had a little family gathering, we broke our couch (again), we fixed our couch, but in the process, had to take the whole thing apart and it was sitting upside down in the living room for a while. Ryan also had to pack and leave town. So, things are a bit of a mess.

5-Go and buy LARGE amounts of cheese. Our new German daughter may even eat more ham and cheese sandwiches than Cole, and that’s saying something. I keep buying cheese, and then it’s gone. MORE CHEESE, GROMMIT!

I could go on, but I think that’s enough for my list right now.

What are YOU going to do today?

    My to do list includes not having a panic attack that my youngest child started Kindergarten. Taking her to lunch after her first day of Kindergarten and then feeling sorry for myself that I didn’t enjoy it more when I had all of my kids home in the house, not at school.

    Oh and cleaning up the bomb that went off all last week while my kids were in school. Seriously, why is my house so dirty with all of them gone?

    I have no idea what your skit is about, or your slide show. I just know you always have too much to do.

    Got the tooth fixed, the slide show is done (not by me), and I bought 10 pounds of cheese.
    Today I need to go to a PTA meeting, write my skit, deliver the 900 envelopes we have been stuffing, and plan John’s birthday party!

    You might be allergic to something in the temporary cement. I think you need to call your dentist and tell him.
