busy bee in --

I've had the busiest/most stressful week ever.

Monday -- got my sister enrolled in school, which took the entire day, and having to drag a toddler and a newborn to it was not my idea of fun. Everything was chaos and so much waiting in lines. Eventually we got it all done, but she still had to make another schedule change when she started school on Wednesday and getting her on the bus route was another headache. Jacob and I had an argument, I got a migraine, and Lorelei was screaming her head off the whole night. So that was fun.

Tuesday -- I took Lorelei to the doctor for possible thrush. I knew she had it on her butt, but I thought maybe it was on the roof of her mouth too. Nope, she didn't have thrush in her mouth and I could just use Lotramin on her butt. I mentioned that she spit up a lot and a couple of times projectile vomited. The doctor (a resident) felt her stomach and said he wanted her to have an immediate ultrasound to check for pyloric stenosis. So I dragged her in the carseat by myself clear across the hospital, freaking out about yet another thing that could be wrong with my child (seriously, she keeps scaring us!). When I got to radiology I had to wait even longer because she doesn't have medicaid yet and I had to speak with the financial counselor on the phone and it was humiliating (fuck anyone who says people who get welfare get it easy, I would gladly put my kids on private insurance if we could afford it because of the huge headache it is having to get state aid). It turned out that she doesn't have anything wrong with her tummy either, thank goodness. I did get her some medication for reflux, which doens't stop the spitup, but it does help ease the pain of the acid. It seems to be helping her a lot, she isn't as fussy.

Wednesday -- Still can't get ahold of medicaid. Cannon's therapist came to the house. He loves her. She played with him and gave me some strategies and things to do with him this week. Last night I think he said the word "ball" which is our target word this week. :) Gotta keep reinforcing it.

Thursday -- I took the kids to Jacob's work after he was done with teaching and saw the daycare. Got Cannon signed up. He is supposed to start part-time on Monday, four days a week. He goes from 7.25 to noon-ish. I am really worrried about this, since he has been going to bed at 2am and getting up at 11am. I don't want to send my kid anywhere when he's only gotten five hours of sleep. :\ Also went to my sister's back-to-school night. Her teachers seem nice and they get Macbooks next week, but she just got a new laptop from her dad. Ah, well. The macbook will be solely used for school, I guess. We took Lorelei to back to school night and she got many, many compliments (I can't take her anywhere without getting tons of attention for her! I do admit that it doens't surprise me, I make cute kids).

Today -- My twin sis will be here tonight with her boyfriend so I guess I need to find some energy to clean the house.

I start my classes in ten days. I have absolutely no idea how I am going to do this with two children. It was okay with one, but two... I may just be in over my head this year.

I am aware that I have made several spelling errors, but I don't care to correct them because I don't give a damn anymore. I am so tired, man.
