First I have to deal with the seizure stuff with the kids, then the woman who was in charge of the project we interupted school and drove across the lake for, cancelled it without telling me. The work day became a playdate during which my kids watched a Buffy the Vampire movie (sigh- my dd is going to have nightmares tonight for sure), and then we get home and discover that some animal had broken through the fabric fence around the chicken yard, and took away one of the chickens.
I've been gone 7 wasted (except for the one I spent with my mama) hours, all I wanted to do was come home and crawl into bed, and instead, the kids and I have been repairing the fence for the last hour. My dd is in tears (these are her chickens), we didn't get any schoolwork done (we are in an intense summer school make-up term), my man is out of town, with the flu in a hotel room.
I will be grateful, I will. I am. We still have 7 chickens left, and I only have 5 more days without my partner. We have no plans tomorrow, so can hopefully double up on school. I am alive, and my kids are beautiful. But man, I could have use a do-over for this day. Sigh.
