With the exception of Tuesdays and Fridays, our schedule is busy with kids' extracurricular activities. They are both in martial arts twice a week but in different classes. Natasha also has soccer practice twice a week: Mondays at 7:30 and Thursdays at 5:30 pm.
Can we just talk about how Fucking Insane that is? One is too early the other is too late. We have more flexibility with the Martial Arts, but Boris wanted to switch to Jiu-Jitsu instead of Tae Kwon Do (to be fair, he wanted that from the beginning, but we pushed him to do TKD with his sister so it would be easier...on us). Unfortunately, Ju-Jitsu is only offered Mon and Wed at 7 pm.
The good news is he has found his people in that class. There are at least two other kids who are just like him.
Natasha wanted one free day a week so we let her drop the second class. She opts to go on Wednesdays at 5:30 pm when her cousin is there, along with Confederate Jethro. We have great conversations.
The hardest night is Thursday because I have to have Natasha ready for her 530 practice by the time Nightingale comes home so she can put Natasha's hair in a French braid.
And this is just practice...next month, the games begin.

Comments Encouraged! And the nice thing about this blog is that I rarely get spam so don't need to moderate the comments.
I've set the comments up to allow anonymous users -- but I'd love it if you "signed" your comments (as some of my readers have done) just so you have an identity of sorts.
