Apparently Liam doesn't have all his shots for Kindergarten. They had sent me a paper, but I thought the central office just hadn't sent it along, and he had them all. I mean he has had a lot. It's ridiculous, but I guess they want him to have more. So I am going to take the morning off and hopefully, we will be able to get that taken care of today.
I haven't been getting enough sleep with Gabe having trouble falling asleep in his room lately. And of course, he won't stay in his bed.
It's just that time of year when I wish I could homeschool and stay home with my kids, and everything is just so different than what I thought it was going to be.
We just don't make enough money for me to stay home. And I know it's sexist and immature, but it makes me feel less valuable as a woman that I have to work, and can't stay with my little ones. I can't explain it, really. And my job. Sigh. Any attempts to make it more meaningful have been rebuffed, so I guess I will just put on my upbeat, silly Jill face (do people really buy that?), and go on with life.
I guess I am not that good at staying home. I don't interact enough when I do that, and I withdraw with shyness. That's not good for me or the boys.
Tierney and Jake are struggling. They are raising their rent again, to a point where they don't think they can pay the bills. I want to help them, but what can I do? I offered to pay her to drive the kids to and from school, but it probably wouldn't be enough, and she has to sleep sometime. So I got a thanks, but no thanks, on that:o).
Karl and I are talking about going to church. Again. The truth is, we are both shy. Karl wants a traditional service, which doesn't make sense, because I think he is agnostic. I just want to not be annoyed. I think it's good for the kids, though to have had faith in something bigger than themselves.
I think I am just a bit depressed. I suppose it will pass. Things are flavorless now, but something will come along. Maybe I will start reading again.
