Hi everyone and Happy Friday!! Tomorrow (as I’m writing this, anyway…she will have already had her first day when you are reading this) is my daughter’s first day of kindergarten; so to say that I’ve felt a bit overwhelmed and anxious this week would be an understatement. I was initially googling things like “how to handle major transitions” and “how to get in a good routine for school starting” and was thinking those would be great things to write about this week and would also help me with my own preparations.
Unfortunately, my brain just can’t wrap itself around any of that yet. Maybe in a few weeks I’ll be able to write about how our morning routines have been and any changes I’ve decided to implement, but for this week, we’ll be winging it (as usual). So…wish me luck (and send any tips you might have as well!)
Seeing as how I’m at my mental capacity at the moment, I’ll keep this short and sweet. I’ve got one major accomplishment to brag about for this week. Drum roll please…get ready for it,,,I scheduled my dentist appointment!! Yep that it’s. HA.
No, really though, I’m kind of joking but also kind of not. This might sound like the tiniest of accomplishments, but I have literally had a repeating reminder on my phone since DECEMBER (last year) to reschedule my appointment that I had to cancel when I got sick right before my last scheduled checkup. Those red letters have haunted me for eight months now, just reminding me of one more thing I need to find time to do and yet just couldn’t bring myself to do it.
I have no excuse why really either. I have plenty of sick time to use from work, so I have no good explanation as to why I haven’t just gone ahead and rescheduled it except for the fact that any time I thought about doing it it still somehow felt impossible to find a time that would work well. There always seems to be a meeting that can’t be missed or something else getting in the way of just scheduling this one thing.
The funny thing is though, I had to cancel my daughter’s appointment for the very same reason, yet, made sure to immediately get hers rescheduled and taken care of. Whenever something needs to be scheduled for her I always find the time and it doesn’t even feel that impossible to take the time off. I realize I need to do the same thing for myself and am going to try to be better about that moving forward.
For now though, let’s just celebrate that this appointment was finally made. You have no idea how satisfying it was to mark that task on my reminder list as complete. CHECK!
I hope you have a great weekend! :)
