I am taking a much needed week off, where I will just be working my second little job because I need the moola. It is all remote though and I can break up the time so I can still do stuff.

The girls are both seeing a counselor to help with depression and anxiety. I am seeing D17's dark moods lesson and when they do occur it is for a shorter period of time. She has seemed to be able to be a bit closer and talkative with me since she started going so I am happy. It does take a chunk out of the day every two weeks but I have been able to have the boys help me some so that I am not taking off so much.

My parents cancelled the 4th at their house because they are afraid of Zika. We, my kids and I, are still going to do something, I just don't know what. It's funny the girls will mention you guys in conversations and bring up stuff they want to do next time in Colorado. Got to save some money up and we will try again but D17 has to be driving because that 7.5 to 8 hours by yourself is not fun.

I do remember when I moved out to North Carolina and the drive didn't bother me at all, so it really must be age. frown That and that I am constantly pushing myself to go,go,go. I don't have the girls this weekend so I can get some extra time in and some extra sleep too. Also going to get this application in for a job I am interested in.
S23 cam by work today and was just angry and a big mass of negativity! I told him I do believe that one person can make a difference but it does take time. He is mad about Brexit (did you see the article that most Britain's didn't know what they were voting to get out of and/or if they had understood, they wouldn't have voted to leave!!! Yes that upsets me too. Just another day in the life of the mother of four!

Hope your a/c gets fixed soon. It is a tad cooler her but yep over a 100 for a couple of days.
