So the first 2 weeks of school and adjusting to our new busy schedule have been a little more tiring than I expected! I put all this hope in all the extra time I would have once both kids started school, and I guess I forgot how busy we would be. So I am learning this new busy life and loving it.
Monday is my Girl Time day. Cody goes to school, so Emilee and I have some time to do "only girly things" as she told me today. We painted her fingers and toes. We made play doh. We did a craft that consisted of a lot of glue, some construction paper, some index cards, and did I mention all the glue? I am not sure what it is, but it was fun! Then while she played without the interruption of her big brother I caught up the laundry and straightened up the house and the we headed to lunch. It was a really nice morning!
Tuesday, both kids are in school. I have a Bible study at church right after drop off. Then I have a little time to be productive in my tasks before I pick up the kids. We try to make sure we come home and chill after school. Cody heads back to the school for soccer practice at 6:00. Sometimes Bret meets us there and sometimes it is me trying to conjure up the soccer me from days of old. After that it is dinner, Wii time, and the bedtime routine.
Wednesdays, both kids back to school and I try to exercise and run some errands with my time. Then we head to the allergist after school for Cody's weekly pokes, which he loves by the way (hope you heard the sarcasm there). Then if I am lucky and Bret is in town, we get a quick dinner out while Bret's parents spend some time with the kids.
Thursdays are our insane days! After school Emilee has ballet and then after a few hour rest, Cody has soccer. These are the days I dreamed of since I was a little kid though. To take a son to soccer and a daughter to dance, this is what I have always wanted to do with my life and I am doing it. I feel so blessed!
Once we have reached Friday we are all pooped. It is a nice end to the week. I am so glad the kids love school and feel so safe and loved there. And we all love Friday because we know that once Daddy comes home, he stays home until Monday and they love that and I do too! We usually have breakfast for dinner and enjoy the time together.
I guess that if I was a good friend I would have warned you about how much BUSIER life actually gets when both kids are in school SO VERY MUCH! LOL
ReplyDeleteWe had breakfast for dinner last night! Flippin pancakes with one good hand was interesting! ;)
