Currently this is what our schedule looks like:
Mondays - Usually Grandma Sue Mondays - we do SS in the morning and then hang out with Grandma
Tuesdays - Preschool day, run/walk with Sara and Megan while Tommy is in school
Wednesday - Do SS, Tommy swimming lessons and Tommy Karate Class (every other week the cleaning lady comes)
Thursday - Preschool day, run/walk with Sara and Megan while Tommy is in school
Friday - Do SS and Morgan swimming lessons
Saturday - Tommy Karate Class
Sunday - Church
So not a ton of free time, which is nice in a way, but it also seems to make the days go by quicker than normal. And I am sure as the kids get older, the activities get to be more.
The other thing that has kept me away from blogging is Mike has started to travel like he used to travel prior to kids - and I think a bit more. :) He usually had some rather large international travels, but he has those going on this year as well as some quick 3-4 day domestic travels pretty much every other week throughout the rest of the year. One nice benefit is that he is taking me to France with him when he goes in August.
I am very thankful he has a job and likes what he does, but it is definitely harder to be a single parent. I give major credit to single parents. Plus I like it when he is home and can spend time with us. It is much more fun!
So until school is out, I am pretty much sticking to the schedule above and trying not to lose my mind. Here are a few pictures from what we have been up to:
We went to the Childrens Museum with Grandma Sue -
Both kids playing in the dirt |
Tommy building his project! |
Morgan playing with a watering can :) |
Tommy on stage as a dino! |
So cheers to being busy!
Cheers to being busy, Steph!

Oh, and I feel your pain with the travel.
ReplyDeleteI, too, give major credit to single parents...it's a tough job!
Ryan does not travel as much as he used to, but he is traveling every other week.
Let's get together for dinner/playdate when they are gone!
