This is the 3rd day on my new meds. I do think they're working, but today I've been having some side affects - I'm dizzy and very easily distracted. I keep forgetting what I'm doing. If the dizziness gets any worse, I won't be able to drive. As it is I'm not sure I'd be that safe... and in two days I'm supposed to be upping my dosage!! Eventually I'll be taking 3 pills a day. I wonder what that's going to be like?
I've made a nice dent in the laundry, although there's already another load waiting upstairs and there's a bunch of stuff down here that needs to be carted upstairs and put away.
I wish we had money to buy that house we looked at and fix it up. It would be so nice!! I wouldn't even need laundry baskets.
I think the routine for Molly's school is going to be an all day event. I've been checking things around 7:30 or 8, before she's even downstairs, usually, just to get a handle on what's going to have to be done. Then I get her to do all the drawing and things that she can do by herself right away. And then the more computer intensive stuff I'll do when Lorelei goes down for a nap. Anything that's left over will probably get done after Bob gets home from work. It's not very structured, but I think it's going to have to work. I just hope she actually learns stuff.
I've been working on getting the basement cleaned up. The laundry room and TV room are pretty much done, but I've got a pile of stuff in the family room that needs sorted and put away. We have so much miscellaneous stuff. I wish I could just dump it all, but the kids play with it all the time (hence the constant mess of it scattered all over the place).
I'm wondering how far ahead in school I should let Molly get. Should we work on pace - only getting ahead when we're going away or something - or should I just get as much done as is available and she's willing to do. I don't want to get too out of sync with the school...
My kids are turning into TV and video game junkies. I used to be so anti TV and video games. Then I had 4 kids and housework and home school and it just turned into something that would (almost always) keep their attention. I kinda hate that. We didn't have a TV growing up (well, Faith and I didn't) and I think we were better for it.
Well, back to the grind. The first floor is trashed at the moment, so I need to get the basement done so I can go back upstairs and clean that up! Grrr... I hate mess.
