OK, it was long and drawn out. Probably didn’t need a title that long, but you get the picture. I’m exhausted this week! And, the only thing I have to show for my hard work, stupid reports that will get written on in the morning.

My week started out with my daughter wanting to run away. Leave. She was mad at me for disciplining her for yelling at me. She was sent to her room and the next thing I know, she has her backpack packed and is on the move.

Miss K is very independent and trust me, had I not gone outside after a few minutes of waiting for the outcome, she would have been gone for good!

So I let her go. Waited about 3 minutes and then went outside and had a little talk with my sunshine. I offered to give her a ride to the stop sign. We got in the car and off we went. Once we got to the stop sign, I asked, “Would you like something to eat before you go?”

“Can I have a hot fudge sundae?” she asked. That was that. Off I drove to get a sundae.

Once she had the sundae, all thoughts of leaving were gone. We were good to go after that! Can you imagine a 7 year old walking down the street, running away? The neighbors thought it was a hoot!

So, the crisis averted at home left with me a ton of stress at work.

I am preparing to gear up for a new season and the reports! OMFG! It is crazy some of the stuff they ask for. It makes NO sense, but I don’t tell them that - even though that is my job - to tell them exactly that! The last time I told them though, I got a not-to-nice response. Whatever!

So, all week I have been pulling together graphs and charts. Working extremely late at home. No time for me. I am sure I squeezed in a shower somewhere. Oh, crap, I think I forgot to eat. Oops, need to get that freaking PowerPoint done! UGH. What is sunlight again?

Thankfully it will only last for a while and then it will be calm for a bit - then the freaking storm will hit with a vengeance! But I will take it and deal. I always do. I am in desperate need of a vacation! Vacation fund - coming soon.

Once I am done with dinner, kids, and work, I have been hitting the sack. So, that is why it has been quiet here - cause I have been loud at other places this week. Next week should be a bit more calmer… but my stress at work won’t be over for a few more weeks. I will of course fill you all in.

Time to eat something. I’m starving!
