Summertime in Watching Life Fly By

- School ended on a positive note for my students- all the ones I worried about graduated. In fact, most of our seniors made it.
- We had 15+ teachers quit plus 6 employees (some secretarial) retire. We also had our principal relocated to our other HS and we took their assistant principal full time for the fall (we had used her part time). They are still interviewing to fill our principal position. We also hear rumors that they are switching our guidance counselors with our other HS.
- I have to go to work tomorrow for a meeting about revamping our SpEd department. They want me to be department head (no extra pay) on top of my other titles.
- Chloe and I went to NY for 2.5 weeks to see family. It went well overall- many ups and downs with her personality. She was happy and well behaved except in regards to my mother. She took a week to warm up to her. It was difficult to watch but it worked out. She LOVED my father which is amusing because I was always closer to my father and always butt heads with my mother.
- My Mimi (grandmother) is suffering serious Dementia but she is happy and well cared for. Her home-health aide comes 5hrs a day 7 days a week. My Mim loves her and enjoys her time. She cooks and cleans for Mimi and does all personal care including showers, dressing, and playing games with her for hours. My father still gets Mimi up and gives her medicine/breakfast and heats up the dinner the aide cooks/gets her night meds and puts her to bed. They have a baby monitor in her room to check on her through the night (my mother gets up a lot to use the bathroom and my dad goes to bed late). Mimi has no idea they watch her so she is happy as can be. I’m glad she’s able to stay in her own home at 89yrs old. It’s great my parents are her neighbors.
- I’m not pregnant. The reproductive specialist wants me to do about $5,000 a month in fertility yet says there is no reason I’m not pregnant. He doesn’t even call it “unexplained fertility.” He acts like everyone goes through fertility because everyone he sees does! I decided against spending that kind of money to produce a child or possibly multiples. I really do not want multiples (financially or mentally). I am not ready to say Chloe will be an only child and the idea breaks my heart. My husband will not adopt so it’s either get pregnant or she remains an only forever. I didn’t track ovulation or anything this cycle because I was away for so long but I’m pretty sure I ovulated Monday and we did have sex both Monday night and last night. I know that gives me only a small chance at conception, as ideally you would have sex right before ovulation, but it is a chance.
- I’ve been cleaning/organizing since I returned home. My goal for this week and next week is to get our house in a much more manageable state and keep it that way the remainder of the summer. My husband is sloppy in certain ways and very organized in others. He thinks the house should be spotless (no toys out, no dog hair, no dirty dishes etc) yet he drops his clothes in the kitchen, living-room, bedroom floor etc. He also doesn’t ever straighten up the bathroom or even place his own dishes in the sink. He then will sweep the floor, dust and mop all while making off-handed comments about how filthy the house is. He doesn’t get that I can’t keep up with his mess, the clutter and an almost 3yr old while working full time during the school year.
- Trying to financially plan for my sister’s over the top wedding in July. I have my dress and shoes, Chloe’s dress and shoes. All of that is paid for. I will get a pedicure/manicure a few days before we head back to NY. I have to pay for my hair, Chloe’s hair and my make-up there. We have our hotel room for 2 days and will stay with my parent’s the rest of the time (wedding is 3hrs from my parents). Mike has to wear a tuxedo or suit (black tie optional) but thankfully we have a good friend with a gorgeous suit and they are very similar in size and stature. Hoping it fits so we don’t have to buy a new suit.
