Chaos Continues

Exhaustion is setting in. I'm stressed and cranky.

I visited two nursing homes this morning and still made it to work by 9:30.

Had a completely unproductive day.  But at least all my bosses were out, so there was no one around to harass me.

Left the office at 3:45 to get my mother transferred to  the long term care facility. Stopped along to way to drown my troubles in very bad food.  Fries and a chocolate shake from McDonalds.  There is just something about the hot, salty, carbyness of the fries combined with the cold sweetness of the shake that makes life a little better.  And yes, I have been known to dip my fries in the shake.  My kids do this, too.  Yum!

Got her all set up and told her at 6:45 that I had to leave to make Back-to-School Night for the twins. She said, "Wait! I have to see if I can get online.  I'm supposed to play poker with my friends online tonight." Because poker is so much more important than meeting the kids' teachers.

So I pulled out her little netbook and tried unsuccessfully to get an internet connection. I told her she was going to have to ask her nurse if they had a wi-fi password because I had to go. 

Finally left at 7:00, and she was irritated that I hadn't figured out how to get an internet connection.

Drove 80 mph all the way home and made it to the school at 7:30 exactly.  Spent the next hour and fifteen minutes touring the twins' classes while simultaneously texting PS instructions for uploading pictures that she has to have printed tonight for a homework project (of course, she couldn't have bothered to get this done before the deadline and I haven't been home to nag her).

Finally home, twins getting ready for bed, DH still helping PS with homework.  Need to go pick up PS's prints--was going to beg DH to do it, but he is knee deep in math homework that I am not smart enough to help with.

Really just want to go to bed.
