Let me start by saying Tuesdays and Thursdays are our crazy days. I leave work early those days, zip by aftercare to grab the kids, and head off to the gym. The Girl has gymnastics for 2 hours those afternoons. The Husband meets me at the gym to grab The Boy, who has football practice for 2 hours those evenings. We leave the gym and usually go home to make dinner. Sometimes - like today - I have to run to the grocery between the gym and home, but that is rare.
For the most part, I am unable to get away from work as early as The Girl would like (and, truth be told, as early as I would like some days!!). I left work just after 3:30 today, which is about as early as I can go. One of my bosses said it was OK to leave that early these two days per week. It takes 10 - 15 minutes to get to the kids' school. I then have to go into the building to sign out the kids. From their school, it is another 10 - 15 minutes to the gym. Practice starts at 3:45.
Guess who was late today. Guess who is going to be late a lot! Guess who told me today that it's not fair that SHE is the one who is always sacrificing and that no one else ever has to sacrifice. EVER! Guess who I wanted to beat with a stick while in the car to gymnastics today! Wait till she finds out we have monthly meetings on the last Thursday of every month (insert evil laughter)!
Ahhh - the joys of motherhood!
Your crazy days sound like mine! Except I don't go to the gym! However, Ned has two classes of jujitsu a week and one dance class on a Saturday now. Plus working full time. Life is exhausting.
ReplyDeleteUgh... her life sounds simply terrible....
ReplyDeleteI can't stop laughing! My boys act the same way over our 2 hour gym commute. They wait until the last minute to make their dinner and gather their grips, then wonder why we always run late. I look forward to the day when they can drive themselves! :)
ReplyDeleteHang in there!
