Where’s the paddle?
No, let me change that: Where’s the boat?
I’m going to try not to get into a great big gigantic (enough adjectives?) vent ’cause I really don’t have time to really delve into it like I would like. The major problem: I’m without transportation and have no consistent way of getting my middle daughter to and from school. I also can’t get my youngest to daycare, but the daycare is on a temporary closure so… well, either way I suppose I would have a child home.
This was captured after the third time I told them to
stop moving/dragging the car seats across the floor.
Don’t they look guilty?
If you’re a reader of my It’s a woman’s world blog, you know that I have some medical issues. Oftentimes those issues cause me to be at the doctor’s office (VA hospital) several times a week, but I make every attempt to work as a freelance writer and editor when I’m home.
How much work do you think I get accomplished with my children at home? About 10 percent of the 50 percent I was able to do with the little hours I was working with before the two middle children get home from school.
There are other obstacles (soon-to-be ex, finances, etc.) that are contributing to my being up the creek without a paddle. But, at this point, I don’t even feel like I have a boat. Slowly.drowning.
