I haven't been writing lately because I haven't really felt like it. We have been dealing with a few things.
The first and foremost, Fiona's new homeroom teacher has been making her anxious. This has been spilling over into other parts of her life. She's has a slight history of being anxious at school, for very real reasons, and now that's being held against her. I wish people would understand, my kindergartener got dressed everyday, put on a smile and went to school, despite her year long chemo during that time. If the effects of that made her anxious, I am willing to deal with her on it. The principal says she doesn't intend to move her, but I know it can be done. We are letting the principal work with the teacher for a while and seeing how it goes. But, this has meant that she came home early from a birthday party yesterday because her anxiety has been ramped up. You would think people would be bending over backwards to make things easier for her.
She started going to her nurse with a stomach ache, any time she gets anxious she says her stomach hurts. She was never a nervous child, but once she started having to take chemo, she freaked out at the thought of having to throw up. Weirdly enough, she never really did and the once or twice it happened, it wasn't as bad as she had made it in her mind. We have had some serious discussions about the difference between genuinely being ill and making herself feel ill with anxiety.
Then our dishwasher died and we had to wait for about a week to get a new one. A dirty kitchen with hand washed dishes makes me nuts! EW! I don't care how well they are cleaned, I like the sanitizing factor.
After the dishwasher died and we were getting the new one in, TD's air conditioner went out in his car. Seriously...come on! We just seem to be hemorrhaging money. I have my eyes on a few more things, hopefully they can continue working for a while. Luckily, we were introduced to a new mechanic that does great work through his own home and was much cheaper. I am so happy to have a new mechanic for TD's car. My car has a warranty for a few more years, but we needed someone for TD. The last place we took it to charged us $700 and basically did nothing with it.
So, that's why I haven't felt like writing too much. Hopefully things will even out and I can return to regular stuff!

Ugh, no wonder you haven't felt like writing! I'm so sorry for all your woes. Try to remember that this is temporary and better days are just around the corner. I'll pray for all of you!
PS - I finally got some Zumba DVD's and I LOVE them. Thanks so much for the tip.
Please send me the name of this magic mechanic. :) My "magic school bus" needs some work.
When it rains it pours, that's all I can say. I had a run like this (different problems, but similar in the level of annoyance and concern) a few months back, and you just have to ask yourself, "Really? More stuff to deal with?! Come on!" and then get on with it, which is what it sounds like you are doing.
I agree with you on the sanitizing option ... hand washing is just yucky!
Fiona should get special treatment for the rest of her life after what she has been through! I'm glad you didn't publicize the name of the teacher or principal because I would be tempted to call or email with a large piece of my mind! Thoughtless, horrible creatures!
Wait, I am a big fan of hand washing, as in washing your hands. I meant to say hand washing your dishes is yucky! ;-)
Crapola! I hate spending money on unfun things like that--and all at once too!
I feel for poor Fiona. I had severe school anxiety as a kid--it was miserable! I hope you can get things worked out, and soon.
oh dear, I am so sorry. You have had really hard times. Uhhhh. I wish i could do something for you, but I can't think of anything I coudl do for you, is there anything I could do? I'm so sorry.
