From scratch.

Back to school? Psych!

Monday was Sami’s first day back at school after Pesach break, and due to an inconvenience hardly worth complaining about, I had to clear out of my house and kill a lot of time.  Not a productive day.

Yesterday my car was in for service, so again, a lot of time killed and not much productivity relevant to my life.

Today, I was psyched for a planned lunch date and otherwise a day of functional accomplishment.

But this was not to be.  My first errand was to fill out the camp signup paperwork for Sami’s summer program, and after finishing that, I was off to leave her school and get on with my day.  Before I’d even made it out of the front office, I was called back.  Her eye, in the hour she’d been at school, had gone from normal to swollen and red.  Since there recently was a pinkeye outbreak, this doesn’t bode well.

So I’m home, somehow managed to wheedle my kid into a nap, and can’t take her to the park, pool, playground, or set up a play date.  We’re going to have a super fun playdate with her doctor this afternoon, hooray!  And then we will come home and I’ll pretend I did something, anything, that grownups normally do.

Good thing I had all last week to practice being a real full time stay at home mom.  I’m getting the hang of this thing!

    You did do something – you prevented other peeps from getting pinkeye. And didn’t rub YOUR eye. SO THERE.
