Change & Transition = Discombobulated & Emotional

I have been thrown into a state of confusion all week. This week was the beginning of many changes in my personal schedule, David’s schedule, and back to school for the kids. Before winter break the school made several changes to Daniel’s therapy sessions with added OT therapy for Joshua I was starting to get very overwhelmed. I missed times and sessions because I simply forgot. They had changed therapists and times on me so many times that my brain got frazzled. It was too much for me to try to get the kids to focus on their end of semester schoolwork and keep up with the sudden change of a new Speech therapist and new days/times for Daniel, trying to set up days/times for Joshua’s OT, and meet with teachers for fall reading sessions etc…  In addition, David was leaving for meetings in the middle of the day or at night upsetting my scheduled workout sessions.
AND there were snow storms that caused my workout sessions to be cancelled.
I was struggling with my chaotic mind when winter break started unleashing the holiday season festivities. While all of that went well, we were not on any sort of schedule as I had hoped. We had one of the best holidays we have ever had with our quaint Christmas week with each other, but David was on vacation. Though he works from home when he is on vacation it is a different dynamic. He is downstairs more. He talks to me more. He does things with the kids, gets them all wild then, goes back to upstairs not thinking of the consequences. He was in and out meeting with people in town as well. It was a lot of disruptions that I am not accustomed to. I get bent out of shape, not in a negative way, but I have to remind him of what those things do to the kids and the “ecosystem” I have going on down here sometimes. :-)
Two weeks of no schedule!
