Overwhelmed

I'm noticing a pattern with my post titles - they tend to reflect how I'm feeling at the moment I post.

Yesterday I took a family sick day as my daughter had a bad cough and horrible snot nose; luckily it got better throughout the day so hopefully it keeps up. This morning taking her to daycare was hell though, she screamed and cried as soon as we started walking. At first I thought she was cold (-25 today!) but I don't think that was it. I'm still not sure what it was all about, but she calmed down on the bus and the walk to daycare, but once in the door she was pouty and clingy like crazy. I had to peel the poor girl off my leg so I could get to work! The daycare workers are wonderful and one took her away while I quickly ran out the door. Hopefully I won't have many mornings like that again!

I have an exam coming up for my University course, so I have been studying when I get the chance, but I don't get that chance often enough. I am sure I'll pass the course but realistically my final mark will be less than impressive I'm sure!

Work is semi-busy, I have things to do but not everything is rush rush which is so nice. I can take a few minutes here and there to reflect which is a treat.

Respite is going well for the most part, although I did request a non-smoker and of course one of the ladies is a smoker, but she felt bad and said she usually makes an effort to not smoke before coming over, and she changes her clothes before she comes to my house... and seeing as she is such a nice lady I'm okay with that.

My Canadian World Youth girls left this morning - I was sad to see them go, but at the same time it will be nice to have the house to ourselves over the holidays. I do have ads posted to rent the room out again, so hopefully someone will be interested for January.
