Entry without too much strain…

Just not much in the mood to write…*sigh*

I’m in an overall ick mood…Been that way pretty much all day.
The day started with Sonja not wanting to get ready for school…Not because she didn’t want to go to school, but because she didn’t want to go to her father’s after school…Harley too made his protests about not wanting to go, because he didn’t want to go to his father’s after school.
I got a call from the school around 2 I think…Harley had punched Ben in the face. [Ben being what comes closest to being his best friend…From what I was told Harley was saying it was an accident…They were going to keep him in the office.] About 2:30 the school called again…Sonja was in the office saying she wasn’t feeling well. *sigh* All I wanted to do was go collect my babies and hold them close to me, and let them know they are loved…& I didn’t even have that option today, because it’s stupid’s week-end, and I didn’t want to make it any harder on them than it already is.
To tell you how upset Sonja was this morning…She told me she wanted to talk to Nikki…So I called Nikki and left a message…But also told her that Sonja wasn’t going to be here this week-end, and that Sonja said she didn’t want Nikki to call her dad. [Nikki being the woman from CPS that talked to Sonja & Harley before.]

The comment in the title about being ‘without too much strain’…
When I type, or even use a mouse on a regular computer, my wrists end up aching something serious.
Well…Until Sunday, I think Sunday night, I’m babysitting ‘Apology’…Reese’s laptop…And she even gave me the password so I can use it.

Yesterday…Took Critters to school with me.
Harley had a rough time of Pottery at times…He is not as hands on self-creative as Sonja…He loves his Legos & Erector sets, and Lincoln Logs, and any of that kind of building stuff that has that kind of thing going. Though he did end up making a volcano…Which I hollowed out for him (and I hope like heck it holds together and goes through getting fired without trouble). What amazed me…The teacher was demonstrating wheel throwing for Pottery 1 students…Harley went over there and watched, he was enthralled, he asked questions…It was…Shocking. Amazingly cute too. *smiles*

*sigh* I had a couple Yule gifts planned, that I realized that if I don’t somehow manage to get my laptop back up and running, aren’t going to happen. I have video on there that CAN’T be replaced…Pictures…But I think Mum at least has most of the photo ones. [But dead laptop is keeping me from being able to post pics of Sonja’s teapot…& Harley’s turtle cake.]

I have homework I should be doing…I did try.
I started Abnormal Psych last night…I tried to work on it today, but I just couldn’t concentrate on it, not with how I was feeling.
I need to take notes for Ethics out of Food Inc. I read my whole section, but only really grasped information needed out of the first couple chapters, which someone else from my section said they planned on doing…*shrugs* So I really don’t know. I hate group projects.

I have to have a short story written before Thanksgiving break…Some sort of Detective Fiction stuff (as that’s the class it’s for)…I have vague idea…But I need a crime & a way to solve it…Damn it! *beats head on desk* And the notes I need, are of course, on my laptop. *sigh*

Mum keeps telling me we will get through this, we will manage…I know we will, it’s just hard to deal with it…& it’s not just lack of money & broken things…It’s stress over what stupid may be up to…It’s school…It’s life in general.

Anyway…Happy Friday the 13th!…Suppose I should go try to be productive towards something…Anything at this point (that isn’t on Facebook)…& perhaps food…I hear it’s good…Unless of course you’ve been reading Food Inc…Then you really don’t want to think about food, let alone eat it. But I did buy some organic ketchup the other day…It amazingly enough, actually tastes like tomatoes…*shrugs* Who knew. *small laugh*

*hugs you lots and lots* it wasn’t that you needed to cool down the lappy.. the deal is that the cold contracts the things inside and then as they warm up they (occasionally) realign enough so that you can use them one last time to hopefully get the stuff off them before the final death. heh. like i said, old geek trick. i hope you feel better soon. poor kidlets. *sighs* life isn’t fair for them,or any of us really. blah.
