Busy, busy week so far. Feels like I am constantly rushing from one thing to another. I guess I feel it more too because DH isn’t really here to help at all this week. His boss is visiting from Chicago and its been at least 3 years since they were able to get together face to face. Where he ordinarily works from home a fair amount of time, and is done for the day by 4 and can help out with Baby L so I can clean a little and make dinner, and normally does kidlets night time routine, he is staying late, going to dinner with the boss, etc, so I am on my own for all the kids waking hours.
Kidlet has swim class every morning for the next two weeks. Immediately afterwards yesterday I had to head to a meeting with the former volunteer coordinator for our PTA (I don’t remember if I posted that I was roped into elected to that position which apparently is a two year term I just discovered at a PTA board training last Saturday). I figured it would take 30 minutes, maybe an hour tops, but I ended up being there over 2 hours, and if I hadn’t pushed to get out of there to get baby L home for a nap, I think it could have gone on much longer =0
Today after swimming we headed out to a park for one of the planned “incoming first graders park meets” from kidlets school. We’ve been to 4 or 5 of them and they haven’t been well attended, but there were actually other families there this time. I took some terribly cute picture of the kids, but for some reason my camera isn’t communicating with my computer — I suspect there is something going on with my USB stuff, because my iphone stopped connecting with the computer a few weeks back. Sigh.
Tomorrow after class we are headed out to Ikea. I had wanted to go on Sunday, but it just didn’t work out, and kidlet was disappointed because he loves thier play area, so I told him we could go a different day. That’s a good 30-45 minute drive one way. Whee. In the afternoon, kidlet has an appointment with his counsellor and although its a tremendous pain to deal with baby L and her rampant running around while trying to work with kidlet and his doctor, I don’t seem to have a lot of options since DH won’t be able to make it home to take care of the baby.
Thursday we have another park play date in the afternoon, and then I have my first official PTA officer board meeting. Thankfully my SiL is able to come over and sit with the kids that evening, since I have no clue when DH will make it home.
Friday might actually be open. knock wood.
