Profound Apologies

6/10/2012

14 Comments

 
To my lovely readers and the wonderful people who run and participate in Six Sentence Sunday, I wish to apologize.
I have in the past signed up and posted, and I have posted after forgetting to sign up. Today marks the first time I have signed up but forgotten to post.    

What can I say?  In summer the days all blend together and Sunday looks a lot like Wednesday.   The last week has been particularly hectic as our youngest son (the 3rd of our 4 children) has not taken well to school being over.  It was the first full week of summer vacation and it was a rough one.

We're trying to find a day program for him, in addition to respite care once a week.  No luck so far.  I may have to forgo Six Sunday for the summer and choose respite day to share a bit of my work.  Haven't made a decision but I'll be doing some definite thinking about it.

Today has been a day of running interference as everyone seems to be getting on each other's nerves.  I'm hoping the afternoon will be just too hot for squabbling, and that a little ice cream will soothe the savage beasts.

Wish me luck, and have a great Sunday.

Kate

I hope the summer smooths out for you! We have challenges with my grandson adapting to the transition to a new routine at the start and end of every school year so I totally sympathize!

I understand. finding that kind of care can be difficult depending where you live. I hope it all works out and that there is someone you can speak to. Take good care

Hope things settle down for you, Kate. The heat of summer can make everything drag on too long.

And yet you were thoughtful enough to post this *and* comment on my six. I'm sending you cool and calming thoughts, Kate.

I hope the ice cream helps to soothe everyone's nerves. Wish I could help out--you're always so supportive of everyone else!

As a parent to a child who hates changes and thrives on a schedule, I can sympathize! Summers can be...interesting. Hope things smooth out a bit as the days go by!

Totally understand. Many weeks I don't sign up because I'm not sure if I will be home on Sunday or if I'll need to spend the day on a writing project. Today I'm doing some heavy-duty cleaning and limping around here but I did get a post up. With working full-time, I have to get most everything else done on the weekend.

I think ice cream can soothe just about anything. :) Hope things smooth out and you have a great summer!

Thank you all so much! I feel like crying. You're all so sweet and supportive! It's been a trying day, but tomorrow is respite care day so we'll get a few hours' break.

I'm sorry things have been so hectic for you. I know as life gets busier (and more complicated) it's things like Six Sentence that suffer the quickest. Taking care of yourself is more important.

I did read your excerpt, though. To see the full first chapter was a joy. This is such a familiar scene and you portray it so well. Thanks for sharing.

Summers can be so crazy with children underfoot. For you, especially so. We missed you last week--and are glad to see you back this week! :-)
