It’s been a heck of a few weeks. School shopping, getting back into the school routine and getting up early have all taken their toll on the family, as has homework, reading assignments and other assorted school time stresses.
On top of this, Lil’ B. was sent home from school on the first day of his second week with pain in his ear that turned out to be a massive ear infection. He never complains about pain in his ear. I had no idea that he was suffering.
So to the ER we went, got medicine and discovered he absolutely despises it. so much so that he’ll walk around the house with it in his mouth for hours rather than swallow it. Needless to say it’s been an interesting week for me. Luckily he’ll be done with the medicine in a few days.
Then of course my laptop failed, so I’ve been working on that… (now that the parts have arrived.) It’s been a while since I’ve had to do tech work. I really was pretty out of practice with the whole thing, but it is now installing happily in the other room.
The real frustrations are coming from the military. We are having serious difficulty getting everything we need in order. It has come to needing legal representation so that my two older sons can move with us to Alaska. If we can’t get it done, it will be many more months before I can see my wife.
It boils down to money in this case. Luckily, we have it, but it is going to be very tight for a while around here.
I’m not complaining, really. (OK, a little, but I’m really not whining.) I just want all of this behind us and to have my family back together, have a four year old who feels better and perhaps a morning to sleep in.
Yeah, that would be nice.
Peace. I’m out.
