Week(s) in Review

You may have noticed that I have been MIA lately....

Do you remember this post about my fall schedule being

OUT OF CONTROL?

 

Well it was worse than I thought it was going to be.

For the last two or three weeks,

The kids have had activities every day after work,

and frequently I leave my home at 8:00am and don't get home again until 9:00pm.

 

To make matters worse,

the other social worker at my office left and I am

managing a caseload of 80 patients instead of 40 patients

AND

I have been on call for work 24/7 for the past two weeks.

I am pretty good at whining aren't I?

 Well here is some more whining...

In the past three and a half weeks,

I have seen my husband for a total of about 36 hours...

and that is NOT consecutive hours either.

 

There is an end in sight....

ALL fall sports END by November 10th.

I will be able to take a breath.
MANY thanks to my BFFs and parents for assisting with transporting children!

 

In-between school, football, baseball, cheering, chorus, #2's job, and my job,

here is a little of what we have been up to...

We have not carved pumpkins in many years...the kids begged to this year.

#2 sketching out her pumpkin's face

 Pretending to stab the pumpkin brought smiles to the twins.

 Can we ever get picture without someone being silly?

D came down and spent the night last Sunday for "family night"

 

Of course the twins would make their pumpkin "throwing up"

#2 trying to concentrate with crazy brothers
