chaos

we have devolved into chaos for a bit.
i hate it.

yesterday was the first day of our co-op, but here's how things started.

wednesday, i used up all the ink in the printer, and was still trying to get things printed so we could start school. a friend offered to let me use her printer, and then her's stopped working. apparently, i wasn't supposed to start school this week.
thursday, we spent all day running errands. as i'd run out of ink, not even printing from the computer was an option. so, we ran to IF to get some.
shaun had lost an art book, and his pencil box. it's hard to teach a drawing class if you, the teacher, don't have any supplies, so we gathered him some new ones...
we had been invited to a friend's house for dinner, and didn't make it home until 8:30p. while we were there, though, i did something to my neck, and within an hour had a full blown, vertigo causing migraine. instead of getting more work done, i went to bed. every time i turned over in bed, the migraine came back, and i felt like throwing up.
friday was our mom school. i got up early so i could finish preparations, and we made it on time. but i was running from 7 in the morning, until 7 at night.
i had class rosters i needed to print off before we could leave. i needed to make sure i had something for my kids to eat...ok, that one didn't happen. we needed to have swimming clothes for our pe elective. while we were there, i had a class to teach, and kids to convince to go to their classes. shaun had a class to teach. i needed to try and track people down to make sure we had their paperwork.
michael and ashley had swimming at 11:50, BEFORE their classes were over. then i had to run shannon and elizabeth to their swimming at 12:30, get taylor some lunch, and take care of a friends baby too... then i discovered that i'd told someone some incorrect information, and needed to make that right.
at 2, taylor had tae-kwando, and i had to run and get him there.
i'd had shaun make appointments for the chiropractor for us after 3, when we would all be home... then we ended up being late anyways.
then, i ran taylor and elizabeth to a friends house for a play-date. took the little kids for ice cream cause they were upset they couldn't stay and play.
i spent the rest of the day trying to finish up co-op stuff, remember everything that needed to be done, and getting things taken care of. i'm still struggling to remember everything that needs to be done.

please tell me it will eventually slow down and i'll be able to get on top of things...? right?
