We survived our first of 3 INCREDIBLY busy weeks here. The girls started day camp on Monday which goes 9-3 -- one hour less than they spend at school, which keeps me jumping a bit more to get errands done during the day, but that's not the crazy part. Maggie is also participating in a 3 week ballet workshop which meets EVERY afternoon/evening. So, we get home from camp, have either a short break or an early dinner, and then pick up her friend and head to ballet. For most days, I can carpool and be "done" after dropping them off. EXCEPT for Tuesday when we leave camp, head immediately to Abby's violin lesson and straight from there to ballet, where Maggie arrives at least 20 minutes late (can't be in 2 places at the same time and, of course, violin is closer to the "river" side of town and ballet is at the "lake" side of town). Since we can't pick up her friend to carpool, Abby and I run errands (or sit at Starbucks) and then pick Maggie up to go home where we heat up dinner (made at 10am) and eat. Wednesday this week was also hectic. I'm spoiled to have a cleaning lady, but she's there in the morning. So this week I showered at the gym and then ran to buy Maggie a skirt for the character dancing part of ballet workshop. Ran from there to my friend's house where our Bible study group was getting together. Left there to pick up the girls. Picked up dinner on the way home at the Chinese place (no cooking at 10am at least!) and then did the ballet carpool. This Thursday, aggie'Ms ballet group performed their recital piece at the library for the children's story hour -- so we'd dropped Abby off at camp, came home so I could shower, and headed to the library. Left there to return her to camp for 12 before returning a couple hours later for the afternoon -- at least this time, however, I cooked dinner in the afternoon rather than the morning. Today was actually pretty slow. Quick run to the grocery after the gym, home after the ballet carpool and an hour of quiet before making 'skettis for supper. Tomorrow I GET A DAY OFF!!!!!!!!! Tom's taking the girls canoeing with a friend/colleague and his daughters in Mississippi. I plan to stay home and do as little as possible -- probably yoga, bath, and read all day. Yep, I'm boring and proud of it. Sunday will be church and that's about it. Down-time before starting again on Monday......
Enjoy the weekend! I'll probably have more to say later......
