There are days when it drives me crazy to share a car. My life has been very limited since turning my car over to Michael. It may be because it is summer and the kids are home, but I am beginning to feel like I have cabin fever from being trapped indoors.
Little things like going to the gym, the grocery store, the library or anywhere else are suddenly major obstacles. I am just not a stay at home person. I need sunlight and activity. No, walking to the mailbox or the pool doesn't measure up either.
It's like planning to have the car for the day, by driving Michael to work, requires 4 hours total commute between the 2 round trips. Planning how to make it all work is like planning for some complicated military strike before the battle. I've got to condense everything down into this one, covert operation to get in, get what I need and get out before the enemy strikes.
I am going nuts. I have only 12 days left before I return to work. There are a lot of things I need to do before I return to work, before the kids start school and before my autism and teaching programs start. I will be so happy when we are back to two cars.
Tomorrow, is going to be one of those days where I am going to be on the road most of the day. Getting Michael to class, killing some time until his test is over, running him to work, then back home to take Sophie to a testing appointment, then Kindergarten orientation, a few errands, back to Orlando to pick up Michael and somewhere in between make family meals.
There is so much for me to do. I'm trying to prepare for teaching school. I'm running kids to appointments before school starts. I have only 12 days left of freedom before my world turns crazy again. I would like to have some summer fun before my summer is over.
I know this is only temporary. I just have to hang in there for another 6 weeks.
