As 2009 fades away in a very chilly fashion here, I am getting myself mentally prepared (as much as I can) for what lies ahead next week. Mornings of getting all 4 of us ready to leave the house by 8 AM. I'll be walking the boy to school most mornings and then turning back down the street to my classroom. We were doing this before my leave, but on those mornings Beth and Mo were just hanging around the house, not busily getting themselves ready. Not that Mo will be much help getting herself ready, but you know what I mean. Gram and I will leave about 10 till 8 and I'll be in my room about 5 after 8. Beth will leave right after us to take Mo to her day care. The afternoons? Well, we don't have that completely figured out yet. Gram will spend some days at the after care at his school, I'll spend some days getting him and Mo before Beth comes home, and some days Mo will be at the day care until Beth gets her after 5. Long days for a short girl.
Fitting in Gram's homework, my homework, making dinner, etc. It's a routine that tons of families have to deal with. It's just a new one for us and it'll be interesting to see how we work it out.
The cold is pretty severe this week by our standards. A few days of sub-freezing weather and strong winds have kept me and Mo away from our usual rounds of the downtown businesses, so we are spending more time cooped up at home. The good news is that she is fully on the bottle routine with me now as long as I feed her in the correct chair. The day care ladies will be happy to hear this.
