Work and appointments
Hey moms! I'm going to have a 'real' job for the first time in 12 years next week. Until now, I've been self employed which is challenging but great for handling those weekday schedule shifts like doctors appointments or school events. I'm going to be gone from like 7:30 in the morning until 5:30 in the evening.
I'm totally solo mom of 3, 3 years ago I moved across the country and I've had zero luck making friends or even acquaintances and I'm really kinda freaking out about how I'm going to be juggling everyone's schedules.
My fifth grader has been waiting for a year to see an occupational therapist and just got off the waitlist but appointments are midday. To not accept the time means back on the list.
My second grader was asked to complete summer classes but I can't accommodate the schedule.
I haven't even considered my own appointments.
