Hello everyone! I am so out of sync this week. I don’t know what it happening but I feel like I am just over here spinning my wheels but getting nothing done. I think I need to make a list, and just start working through it, instead of whatever the ADHD I’ve got going on over here. I am just trying to do too much at once, as well all do from time to time! I am behind on everything – school, my house, calls I need to make, catching up reading blogs and comments, just everything. I will get there though.
We started off pretty well. We had a great weekend. On Saturday, we went to my dad’s for the day and hung out with him and my stepmom. It was a very nice, relaxing way to spend the day. Then Sunday, Billy and I took Wyatt to a children’s book reading and author signing. There were two authors there, Kristen Remenar, who wrote The Groundhog’s Dilemma, an adorable little picture book, and Vicky Lorencen, who wrote The Big Book of Barf. When I saw that The Caboose bookstore in Royal Oak, which is the children’s bookstore area of Sidetracks Books, was hosting this I knew that Wyatt would love it, especially the barf book. And of course he did. He was a little bashful when meeting the authors at the end, and having his books signed, but he had fun.
Then for some reason, the rest of my week went wonky. Not bad, just like I said, out of sync. It was just one of those weeks I guess. I have no idea what happened to Monday, Tuesday Wyatt’s medicine issues reared its head and he threw up, Wednesday, actually… Wednesday was pretty good.
Wednesday Wyatt had therapy, and he kicked butt! He walked so far and did an awesome job!
Then Wednesday evening I went to my friend Kelly’s, and we hung out just chatting and drinking tea.
I told her that I felt like I was hanging out in a British Museum, her house is so beautiful. (you can see Kelly in the background there, telling her kids to get ready for bed)
Then Thursday I was all in a kerfuffle. We were expecting a delivery of medical equipment for Wyatt, a special seat for his walker, and it totally threw me off! I decided to just give up and give in after that, and chalk this week up to just what it was. Weird. Next week will be weird too. I am attending an advocacy leadership training online for three half days in the morning, and I have two different grandparents and Billy lined up to do the Wyatt things while I am doing it. I made up “sub plans” for those mornings too! Wyatt’s grandmother is doing a Valentine’s craft project with him on her watch, Billy is doing some dinosaur STEM stuff (and math), and my Dad is going to some hands on history with Wyatt. My dad was a special education teacher, then a principal, before he retired so hopefully it is like old hat to him. If not they can all just hang out. I will do the rest of school in the afternoon.
I am excited but nervous about the training! It’s been a minute since I did anything like this. I do think I can make it through three half days of training, and I think it will be fun; I just need to feel a bit more confident in speaking in a group again!
And with all that being said, I should probably get a move on! Have a good one everyone, and try to do something today that makes you smile!

For some reason this week I kept forgetting what day was what and just could not keep everything straight. Like I was literally surprised to find out it was Friday today! But we did have a pretty good week despite some icky weather. That author book signing sounds fun. I’ve never been to one as we don’t have any local bookstores!

Lol good to hear that I wasn’t the only one with a topsy turvy week!! Maybe it is the weather or winter or something. Lol. I wish there were more book signings around here!

You have a big week ahead of you! But it sounds like it has been pretty good last week. I love “a friend who lives in a museum.” I have one like that too. I feel like I live in a badly designed booth at an antique mart that sells mostly not antiques!
Hearing about meeting the author reminds me of an early memory with my mom–probably second grade. There was a woman named Carolyn Haywood who wrote loads of kids books I liked and she was coming to Hudson’s. So mom and I took the train to Detroit to see her. We did that first, and I remember being so excited — and then sitting on the floor of the women’s clothing department reading my new book while my mom shopped! I still have that book up north — I wonder if our guys would like it of if it is too tame these days!

Lol! I am with you, with my own booth next to your booth at an antique mart that sells mostly not antiques! Lolol.
That name is super familiar. I am sure I have seen it on a book somewhere!
That is such a great memory! My mom has so many memories of shopping at that Hudson’s as a child with my grandmother. I have heard it was really something.

I think we all have those weeks when things just seem off kilter. I seem to have had more of them rather than less. This docent thing is kicking my butt! I have so much work to do, trying to keep up with blogging, the house, the cooking, taking care of Mike…I’m too old for these shenanigans!
I really do think you are going to be amazing at this training. I have a lot of faith in you. I didn’t know your dad was a spec ed teacher! I loved being a spec ed teacher. It was truly where my heart was. It had already changed so much from the time I left it to go to gen ed to the time I retired. I don’t know that I’d like it as much these days.
I hope your week is less wonky next week!

Good luck with the training – that’s exciting! I had a funny week last week, there was one day I was trying to transcribe but I had a parcel of jigsaw puzzles due and really didn’t want to miss it, then on Friday I was going to a gig in the evening but meeting my friend for dinner first and that seemed to make more of a hole in the day than it was supposed to!

Even though your week felt wonky, it does seem that you had some fun thrown in there and got some things done. I definitely make a list most days: even the days I don’t have much to do, it helps me stay on track and gives me a feeling of accomplishment. The authors at the bookstore sound like a lot of fun and congrats to Wyatt for walking a longer distance!

You did a lot last week! But I understand about those days when you feel like you’re chasing your own tail. Good luck with next week’s training. I’m sure you’ll nail it!
