Helter Skelter

Today was so busy.

G and Z had back to back appointments with their mental health case workers. G is starting back up with the one he had last year. I told her the results of her neuropsych evaluation in February was that he had anxiety. She did an assessment for ADHD and anxiety and concluded what we had thought last year, which is he has ADHD-I/inattentive. She's going to go over a treatment plan next week.

Z had her first solo appointment with her case worker. I was supposed to talk with her the last 15 minutes of the hour, but that never happened. I'm not sure when her next session will be. I wish it wasn't all being done on Zoom meetings, though.

After that we rushed across town to the kids' school because for some reason the district decided to give out more physical work (English) for kindergarten - 3rd grade. Z is in this category.

The rest of the day was spent trying to get the kids to turn in late/missing assignments, since 1st quarter is coming to an end soon. They have so many. Z had a few quizzes worth 20 points that she had gotten 0's on so we re-did those. There's still so much to be done tomorrow, but at least we've started catching up.

We had tacos for dinner. Matt came home in a better mood tonight. He apologized over text in the morning and said he wants to talk tonight. He even helped me with dinner. Cut up tomatoes, helped keep an eye on the beans and meat on the stove.

I did get a little frustrated after I had finished my 2nd taco, made Z her 2nd taco, then sat down. Matt was still at the table and G got up to ask me to make his 2nd taco. Like, really? Matt couldn't have helped him out with that? He didn't catch on to my irritation, which I suppose is good. He was already defensive last night and we were on the brink of arguing several times. I didn't want to spoil tonight, too. Still... It would have been nice for him to just have been like "it's OK. I've got this one. You relax."

Tomorrow is the first of October! I'm so excited to start putting up more Halloween decor. I'm hoping to have enough money to get some fun snacks for the Halloween party we've been planning for months. I need this kind of break.
