Now that Taryn is in school every day of the week -- I was going to arrange my work schedule not around her days home, but around me. I wanted Friday's off and it was going to be MY DAY -- I would run all my errands, maybe even shop a little for myself. I would take a walk, have my quiet time, plan a weekly menu, buy groceries...And I was going to blog!!!
Yeah -- right!
Since I started my "new schedule" in January -- I believe I have had 2 Friday's to myself. Between days off of school (which seem to be frequent and always on Fridays) and volunteering at the school on my one day off the my-time thing isn't really happening.
But things looked good for today and I must admit I was seriously looking forward to "my time". Then last night at 9:30 p.m. I received a phone call that due to a water main break...school was cancelled.
"Not Fair," was the initial whining in my head, "This was supposed to be MY day."
Oh well -- I guess flexibility is key when you become a parent. Instead of coffee, quiet time and shopping, I became social coordinator, picnic packer, craft counselor (help me!) and waitress.
We also had an indoor beach party.
And Carter got creative in feeding the birds. (Do birds even like pretzels?)
And thanks to a bright sunshinny day -- the kids are outside for the moment and I posted a blog.
Not a bad day after all!
