Already Preparing...

My mind is not where it should be. It is March 5th and my head is madly planning Spring Break AND our summer plans.

I swear I wish my mind worked differently. I wish it were a faucet and I could turn it off. Instead it is a leaky faucet and just runs and runs and runs.

Today's focus is on what activities Jillian should be in this summer. Last summer, the little gym worked perfectly. The time was perfect, the activities were perfect, Jillian's behavior was perfect. The whole sha-bang!

This year, the little gym's schedule is out and it is not great. Jillian still takes an afternoon nap and I am not willing to give that up b/c she still needs it and with Rocco going down too, it is essential to our day. I went there yesterday and talked to Miss Tessa (last year's teacher) and Miss Tessa cheerily suggested that I change her nap time. LOL. OBVIOUSLY, she does not have a child. I am leaning towards 9:30 on a Monday. Isn't that wretched?? The only other option is 11:45 on a Tuesday but that is lunch time and winding down for nap. I just think it would be too hard. They also offer a dance class (tap, ballet, gymnastics combo class) at 11:15 which is better but I fear Jillian will balk at the tap and ballet after our experience with the dance class. I don't know???

I also think maybe I should put her in an art class or something different to expand her horizons?? I don't know.

I am also suffering from mommy guilt with Rocco that I am not putting him in anything. BUT I am schelching it b/c I did not start Jillian in any sort of class until she was 2 and I just cannot see paying for a class for an 18 month old.

I signed up again to teach at VBS. Jillian will be in the 3 yo class and I will be allowed to have Rocco with me or next door in the baby class so it should be a good time.

Otherwise, with Bryan's work schedule and no vacation time, we are planning some "mini-vacays" for the summer. We are planning our usual Port A trips but also I think we are going to throw in a South Padre trip. I am getting out of my comfort zone and we are planning a trip with the sis, BIL, and boys to Big Bend National Park (you know, the one in the middle of nowhere). Guaranteed to be great fun with lots of stories to tell.

5 days until Spring Break!!!!!!!!!!

I think there are 57 days until summer vacay.........WA-HOOOOOO!
