I HAVE FOUND IT!

I have discovered the breaking point. The point at which I fail. Loudly.

How in the mother-effing hell do single, full-time working parents keep up with the homework and studying of two children - one of which is ADHD and anxiety-riddled?

There is not enough time in the day to get home, fix dinner, get 2 kids-worth of homework done, take showers and then sit to study for tests on Mesopotamian culture and ratio/proportion math stuffs without losing your confidence as a parent and human.

Today I have heard exactly two songs:

1. Werewolf in London
2. Bad Moon Rising

I’m unsure what to do with this information.

I flew out on the red eye from LAX last night. I am stuck in Philadelphia. I have had the same clothes and makeup on for 28 hours now.

Shooting on a Disney backlot. Occasionally, my job is fun.

I am currently in a meeting in this building. Today doesn’t suck at all.

This place is a-okay.

I am watching The Vampire Diaries on Netflix in my hotel room while drinking french press and eating Toblerone and rosemary marcona almonds from a gift bag for breakfast.

My life is weird.

I approve of this hotel room.

Travelin’

It’s crazy town in the Phoenix airport.

Saturday

Things I have done today:

- Take child to pediatrician due to scary health thingy that turned out to be nothing (thankfully)

- Run by seamstress to pick up item with repaired zipper (An old, ripped up sweatshirt of my dad’s that he cherishes. I could buy two new ones for what it cost me to repair the zipper.)

- Stop at crazy general store place to have house keys made for my children and mother (oh, and drawer organizers for bathroom because the toothpaste exploded and my 8 y/o decided she doesn’t want her toothbrush to be close to anyone else’s)

- Cash Christmas checks at bank (checks from my former mother-in-law made out to my kids that they want to spend at the mall this weekend)

- Swing by Invisible Fence to pick up new collar batteries (because I found one of my dogs across the street peeing on the neighbor’s mailbox)

- Drop prescription off at pharmacy (for sinus infection discovered at pediatrician visit)

- Swing by house to tell older child that smaller child and I are still alive and to pick up tax paperwork

- Complete 2011 taxes!!!

- Pick up prescription

- Run home to fix lunch and discover sink/dishwasher pipes are clogged and sink is filled with water and food from the disposal from two days ago

- Fix sink with bathroom plunger (now whole kitchen must be doused in gasoline and burned to the ground as I’ll never be able to eat in there again)

Things I have NOT done today:

- Showered

- Eaten

- Fed my children
