Not sure if the rainy, sleety weather finally got to William, but yesterday this is the outfit William decided to put on over his PJs... look closely and you will see it's his bathing suit and hat. Quite dapper, huh? He also put his turtleneck back on over his top. He then came into the kitchen + danced a little dance. Honestly, I think he was on a sugar high! No more candy or cuppie cakes! He's cut off. {I actually froze the left over cuppie cakes... can you do that?} and I hide all the candy. The good news, he crashed around 8:30, which was lovely. If I could only get Davis to stay in her bed too. The girl has more energy than god.
I'm feeling such angst today. {ok, maybe that's a tad dramatic... but I'm just feeling off - tons of anxiety} So many things just bearing down on my little head. I keep trying to shug it all off, but today I can't seem to shake it. So I thought if I just write about it, it might make me feel better. {that's your cue. You can stop reading... because you really don't want to hear me whine now, do you?}
We're still waiting to hear if the kids have been accepted into the new Montessori school we applied to in early January. If they aren't accepted, it's way too late to apply to any of the other MS in the area. Whatever will I do? The kids are too smart to put them in a church basement pre-school.
My plan A for William is the Charter School. This weekend we'll find out if he will be accepted – it's all based on a lottery. When I dropped off his application last week I actually ran into William's friend's mum. She's the one who told me about the school and encouraged me to apply. {Which in my twisty little head, I feel is a good sign that I randomly ran into her} ... but we're just not lucky when it comes to stuff like this :( So wish us luck... because that's all that it seems we need!
The other thing that is bearing down on me this on-going fight we are having with our insurance company. Last November while I was in the city getting my hair done, I was pleased as punch that I found a meter on the street. When I got back to the car, I saw the back window was punctured + ripped + my side mirror on my car was cracked. It was if someone had vandalized my car... midday, on a busy street! Un - freaking - believable.
Right away we called our insurance company and they said not a problem, it was covered. So for a week plus we tried to track down someone who could replace the back window... but it seems because the back window is sewn into the roof, we would need an entire new roof and a lot of the glass places don't do that. We'd have to find a specialty shop. We called back the insurance company and asked them for recommendations, and they said for us to call Audi. Well, the holidays came and we got busy and we just put the whole thing aside. Long story short, we are finally trying to deal with getting the car fixed. We finally found someone who can do the work. That company called our insurance company to get the claim number and work out payment and we got a call yesterday from the insurance company saying they won't pay for the new roof, only the window. grrrrr. I'm telling you, insurance is such a scam! So now we've been on the phone back and forth trying to get them to pay. It's so frustrating.
I'm also dealing with a client who is sooo "trying my patience". I hate when I have to work with someone who is so difficult. In the beginning they seemed all nice and easy but as the project has moved forward, his easy going nature got up and went. I'm now left with a grump. booo hooo.
Plus, I can't find a bunch of things that I've been searching for which is sooo frustrating. We're also finalizing the marketing campaign for my husband's new software, and I'm feeling so worried that it's not going to be as successful as we want it to be... but I'm trying to be soo soo positive. AND, to top it all off, my house leaked yesterday during the massive snow, sleet storm. It seems there was frozen ice on top of the roof/gutter area, and basically caused a huge puddle, which caused the leak. Neal fixed it, but really...unbelievable.
I do feel a bit better having written it all out. I know a lot of stuff is beyond my control. That's one of the things I'm trying to be better about... not stress or worry about things that I can't control. Worry only gives a small thing a big shadow... but you know what, it's damn hard. :)
