Feb. 9th, 2012 05:33 pmWe had a busy day today--school, then a birthday party. The party was good, but a little overwhelming for, I think, Z and me both.
The preschool we have Z. in is on the south side of town, and we live on the north side. We chose it because it was a school that was affordable (we have a free pre-K program in Florida, but that starts at age 4) and also had a really good atmosphere. The ones closer to us didn't have that. So I was willing to make the drive.
However, now we're looking at elementary school, and we have really good elementary schools that we like on our side of town. Most of the kids Z knows at pre-K live down near the preschool, and will be going to a school on that side of town. So whenever we get together with his friends from pre-K, I feel a little guilty and sad. Not that there's any guarantee that they'd be in the same class or anything like that, but still. Mom-guilt knows no rationality. :)
Anyway, we're now home and have had a nap; Tarzan 2 is on, Z's watching and eating popcorn while I try and muster up the energy for housecleaning.
It's been a stressful week. Wait, who am I kidding--it's been a stressful month. Work has been busy, and the MWF schedule has been an adjustment. The boyo caught strep throat last week, so between that and general stress I haven't been sleeping well. Someone I knew in high school (though not very well) died, which sort of stuns me whenever I think about it. There's been some other stress I don't want to get into on the internet, too.
Really, I don't think I'm going to get anything cleaned today. Maybe the living room, later tonight, but that's about it. I feel I deserve a mental health evening.
