Time

I have time.  Time to work, time for myself, time to sit and eat, alone with my thoughts and I-am-loving-it!

This morning I had a dentist appointment, so Chi took the kids to school.   I got my teeth cleaned then I went to work out.  I was hungry, so I went to my favorite coffee shop for some coffee and a quick bite.   These are all things that before the kids were in school were difficult to execute.

Dentist or doctor appointments had to happen when while the kids had care, which meant that I would then be missing out on time to work.

Working out had to happen during a morning window of 9:00 to noon.   Afternoon care and the gym was insane, so I never felt comfortable taking them during that time.

And a leisurely bite to eat by myself?  That’s an event that I rarely indulge in.

I could get used to this!!

One last camping trip

We went camping with the Nettles family for Labor Day Weekend.

Diane choose a campground in the middle of the North Cascades that we had to drive on a dirt road for over 5 miles to reach.    Bedal Campground has no running water or bathrooms.  I’m a State park camper, so it’s an understatement when I say that I was not prepared for that kind of camping.

Day one was pretty nice; we had good weather and played at camp and at the nearby creek.  Day two, we were rained on most of the day, but their campsite had a cool shelter over the picnic table, so we hunkered down there for the day.

It was a fun trip, but boy was I happy to get home and take a long shower!

 

School Daze

Ian started Kindergarten and Hannah started Preschool yesterday.  It was a tough day for Chi & I as we dropped our kids to be cared for by someone other then a friend or family member for the very first time.

Both kids did great with the drop off and seemed to have good days yesterday.

This morning Ian tells us that some little boy was kicking him at school, so Chi had a little chat with Ian’s teacher this morning. 

I hope he settles into school and makes a friend soon!
