"Are we there yet???"

I am writing this at 9:39 p.m. exhausted to the bone, though not sure exactly why. Graduation was last Friday for my high school, then out with the faculty, but only managed about 4 hours of sleep before getting up at 6:30 a.m. to head to Deed's. I know, it's my own fault...nevertheless, I woke up with a splitting migraine (I WISHed it was a hangover at that point) and headed to Mass.
Stuck Mumsie in the back so Kyle could stretch out his long legs...we chatted, but thankfully not as much as I had originally thought. And, yes, I DID in fact have to hear about Evelyn's visit...though that was Friday night before I went to graduation!
Crashed on Deed's lovely new couch (newly upholstered that is), watched Big Brown go down, then Howard treated us all to dinner that night, which was very nice!

Did not sleep much Sat. night...first night in a different bed never agrees with me, and my hip was killing me (another story for another time......or not), but got up early after a strange dream about Ken woke me...went for a long walk before breakfast and felt refreshed for the hot graduation of my lovely niece, Meghan. It was a warm one too!!! She looked so happy...and I am very proud of her.
We drove home at about 5:45 p.m. after a nice luncheon...got here around 9 p.m....again with Mom in the back where she fell asleep for a bit, so a quiet ride home...until Kyle asked me to put in the newest Bob Marley CD...she woke up and was hysterical laughing at it! Anyhow, the trip was really ok...tolerable, surprisingly, and I know DeeDee appreciated her being there, as did Meghan, so I was glad to do it overall.

However....I am still on the fence about the next surgery and if I want her here for it/me. As helpful as she can be, I am NOT a good patient, and do not have much patience for her little idiosyncrasies. What to do.....???

Started the end of the year today...first Finals were today...second round tomorrow...third on Friday...and finally done with them on Monday. Have to go to school a whole day on Tuesday for teachers' meetings, cleaning, getting all grades on the computer, etc....Cannot wait to be done....thus the "are we there yet" title. ALMOST!

Tonight, Kyle's guidance dept. hosted its first ever evening for Freshmen through Juniors about college...financial, tests, etc. Frankly, as overwhelming as it is, I was glad to get some info. Overall though, I left depressed and worried....how am I going to pull this one off??? I want the best for him, but there is only so much I can offer financially as a single parent....so hopefully some scholarships, grants, and loans will help. It is not a pretty picture in my mind's eye at this point, however...I am very concerned, and he only has two years left. (sigh)

Going to bed...hopefully to sleep all night long, which has not been easy lately. Probably why I am so tired...YA THINK KIM?!
