The carnival was last Saturday. We got beautiful weather. People came and had fun and we made money.
It was also super stressful and there were some considerable set backs and we decided we’re definitely not doing it again.
So… kind of a success? I guess? Hard to say. I’m just relieved it’s over.
This past week was consumed by the heat treatment. I took off Monday to build a shed we needed to store our stuff, and I took off Tuesday to pack things up.
My husband took off Wednesday to continue packing and prepping and Thursday to be available during the heat treatment (he stayed at his parents’ house with our cat).
And just when the heat treatment was over, and I was looking forward to 48-hours or down time before the book fair next week, the school nurse found lice on my daughter.
So… yeah. Kinda feels like I can’t catch a break. I just need it to be May already.
Are you going to be able to get rid of the tenant who brought in the infestation? (I think memory says this is second time person brought infestations? right or wrong?) DO hope followup tests prove eradication DID occur. Am contemplating all the time you two had to put into shed and moving goods around…and then it all had to be reversed afterwards. SO MAJOR time and much money in damages! Sorry!!!!!!! Did you even have time to find eggs much less have bunny day? Much support!!!!!
Super sorry re the lice issue; eradication process SO very much harder than 50 years ago … and I think the lice are faster at moving to new heads as well which makes it even harder to prevent. MUCH MUCH SYMPATHY.
Glad the carnival was an adequate financial success but without any idea of details it also sounds like not repeating it and the stress in the future is sensible decision. If the PTA group isn’t getting adequate support from all teachers and parents things must be cut and changed. SO MUCH EFFORT on your part. Makes me sad but also totally supportive of you.
Hope we now have beautiful weather. Know it helps your days.
Thank you for posting.
I’ve come to the conclusion that adulthood is just sort of one kind of crisis after another with moments of grace and joy thrown in on occasion and the key is to enjoy and relish those moments before the next thing occurs. That may be bleak but accepting this has actually made me much happier.
