This fall was my intro as a parent into the world of scheduling. Before this fall, Ruby's preschool was a co-op that my friends and I organized and we all lived really close to each other. Other than that, Ruby was in ballet, and if we were really on top of it, we had her in swimming lessons.
Anyway, I feel like I am frantic all the time and that I never get calm time with my kids! We have so much going on for Ruby and none of it can go because she loves it all. She's in ballet, swim, gymnastics, piano and preschool. (Okay, I'm eliminating gymnastics. Done. I teach her class, and it is too much. She enjoys it, but the only reason she really goes is because I teach it.)
This week, I crammed in two things with the kids at the end of the day on Weds and Thurs. The funny thing is that at 4:00 PM, stuff just isn't as fun! We did Karaoke one day, and Valentines the other. Karaoke wasn't a hit with Alice, and therefore wasn't that fun for me, but I loved Ruby's rocking out to the one High School Musical song she knows.
I realize that this post takes some of my time. Just know that I prepare most of my posts at night during "me" time, while Chris is getting the girls down to bed. I often post them in the morning when I get the pictures off of my camera.
