Oy with the poodles

I composed a nice post about how busy I'm going to be this month only to have it go astray and when I pushed the back button like the page said, mysteriously the post had disappeared. I was afraid that was going to happen.

This month will be a busy one for my family. We've got lots of appointments this month. Doctor's appointments, dentist appointments, school appointments, and other miscellaneous appointments. And while I find being a single parent satisfying and rewarding, there are times I find it frustrating. Like when there's not enough time in the day to get everything done. I'll be taking a lot of time off work to get these appointments done but what can you do? They've gotta be done.

It doesn't look like much and I guess it's really not. But the part that's draining me is the planning, paperwork, juggling things, and executing the plan. I know myself well enough to know that I'm too much of a control freak to let someone else help me anyway. So while I may complain about having to do it all myself, I guess I wouldn't have it any other way. I don't know any other way. And now I'm off to make phone calls regarding things I've let slide and then pay bills. Joy of joys. Wish me luck.
