Busy as Bees and Crazy Week Ahead

I’ve come to the conclusion that all this insanity is simply a part of modern parenthood. If your kids didn’t do any sort of organized activities, then life would be much simpler, but as soon as they are playing sports or taking camps, then your life becomes one big scheduling nightmare.

This week A’s camp goes into full swing, and takes up a big chunk of the day. Normally this is a great thing, except that N will want to do fun things to compensate for his lack of organized activities, which isn’t quite fair because he had hockey camp all last week. Then again, the memory of a 7 year old doesn’t extend back far enough to include the previous week. So, I will need to entertain N, though there are several things going on that will fit the bill. Also, A will need a lunch packed every day.

We actually have a playdate with RL on Monday, which is a fabulous thing. Then on Tuesday, we’re picking up CH and taking A to her guitar lesson, and Wednesday is the market. This leaves Thursday and Friday to account for, but I think we can cover two days. Plus, I have work to do around the house, and if the weather is good, N will have to bear with me and watch me work. He sometimes enjoys this, and even helps out, but we’ll see.

Somehow, as the kids get older, their lives become more complicated and involved, which means that mom and dad have more on their plate. Then again, that’s exactly how we like it, right?

Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to enrico nunziati for the pic.
