Stressed

The last six weeks I have been dealing with trying to get my kids situated for school. They start school August 20 ( I can't wait). My son is in the 12th grade (Thank You God), and my daughter is in the 4th grade. They need so much for school, so I have to start early. My son registered for school Monday, he had to have his $15 school fee then. He also had an doctor's appoint Monday. We went to the school at 8:30a.m. so he can register, well he never turned in his math book; so we had to go all the way back home to get it. On top of that he had to pay a late fee. When I took him to his doctor's appointment, he and the doctor was whispering about something and neither one would tell me what they was talking about. I believe they was talking about the S word. I have to take my daughter to the dentist next Monday to get fillings. We went two weeks ago to get them cleaned and she had a loose tooth that was hanging on by piece of her gum; and she threw a fit and wouldn't let the dentist pull it. The dentist was concerned that her gum would get infected. She let my dad pull it last weekend. For school I have to buy uniforms(shirts and pants) for both of them. They need shoes,socks, underwear, t-shirts, school supplies. The supply list is ridiculous for my daughter. There is about 20 items on the list and they need 2 or 3 of each item. I have most of the supplies except the lysol and things like that. I have all of their uniforms except shirts for my son. My daughter have shoes, and I just ordered my son some today. My son is 17 years old, 6ft 3inches and wears a size 14 shoe. Well he was wearing a size 14 last year; hope the shoes I ordered fit; because we haven't measured his foot. I do not receive any child support, so I am purchasing all of this myself. It is hard but I manage to do it. Now I am waiting on school to start to see what supplies my son will need. He is taking Agriculture, and wood shop classes. He have 4 classes like that and he will need a lot of supplies other than pen and paper. He has taken some classes like this before that is the reason I know. The other thing I know is that there is a $25 fee for each of those 4 classes like that. Then there's a $5 fee for the other 2 classes. That is the other thing He only have 6 classes this school year ( there is 7 periods). How in the world is he going to get home everyday if he gets out of school early? He have his license, we went to get those last week. Now he is going to want to use my car daily to go to school. He needs a car and I need a million dollars. I believe after school starts for them my stress level will go down. After all of that I have to find time to do my school work, cook, and clean. I was supposed to go see my cardiologist last week to let them put a Holster belt on me. I didn't make that appointment. I will go next week after completing unit 6 project.
