the kids both have runny noses (and are snoring in their carseats. that's right, i'm blogging wireless in the front seat of the car). 'renzo is teething and has cried more in the last three days than he has since he was a newborn. none of us are sleeping well. i thought i was as tired as i could possibly be but *horror of horrors* i'm even more tired. my body hurts. my mind hurts.
r hasn't been around at all since thursday. he's been working really long shifts at the new bar and hasn't even been calling to say goodnight to the kids. (parker has been screaming less and i don't know if i should attribute it to the play therapy, the homeopatic remedy or the fact that she hasn't seen daddy in a few days.) he told me on friday that he feels most comfortable "watching" them for periods of four hours or less. so, i'm a really freaking single mom i guess.
i went over to the ymca to check into financial aid for a family membership and summer program for parker. she really misses preschool. since they have childcare i could go swim or do yoga or something and have a little time to myself when i know the kids are in good hands. i'm also going to look into getting a mother's helper a couple times a week.
i changed the message machine to reflect the new makeup of this household. instead of hi, you've reached r, celeste, parker and lorenzo it now says hi, you've reached celeste, parker and lorenzo because, well, r is unreachable at this house dammit!
