When the weeks are long but rushed

Last week just dragged me to the weekend, hitting all the bumps along the way. Having cold days along side hot and humid days didn't make things better.

We had multiple appointments: doctor, dentist, therapist, audiologist, orthodontist.

It's my fault for being the one to schedule everything in 1 week, but when availability is what it is with most military health care facilities, you take what you can get.

Most things were fine. More follow ups now scheduled. My calendar also had to add ANOTHER orthodontist appointment THIS week since one of the brand new brackets for A's braces popped off a few hours after they put it on. (We also had a speech eval today for N and various appointments and meetings for the WANs lined up for the next 2 weeks!)

There has been a new development! A's doctor thinks he may have a new diagnosis for her, which can explain a lot of the behavior issues we have been dealing with (for years). Hubby and I meet with him soon to go over everything and hopefully make some progress on a plan for what will best help her.

In the midst if all of this going on we also had a big hole in our kitchen ceiling. About 2 weeks ago we noticed a water stain. We immediately contacted our landlords (who are really great btw) and the next day plumbers were here. In the end we could not find the leak but agreed to leave the hole to see if water would leak again. It didn't. They returned this past week to patch and were able to find evidence of the likely location of the water, though it was now dry. If the water stain returns we now know a contractor will need to be called, not a plumber.

It feels like May is this crazy rush to the finish line... but what's the finish line? Why does it feel like we are racing at breakneck speed to complete this month?! What's the point? We just need to take a moment and slow down!

Either that or I need to take a weekend to settle my frazzled brain.
