Do you ever have those days, or even weeks, when you just have so much to do that you have no idea how it will all get done?? Today is one of those days with the potential of it being one of those weeks.
Kinley has just been obsessed with cooking lately so when the school offered a cooking concoction class, we knew we wanted to sign her up. Mind you, we signed up in December when we had no idea what our schedule would look like at this time. She also has a karate tournament this weekend which means amped up classes this weekend to prepare. She wants to compete in board breaking which she has done all of 2 times in her life. Once at her first competition and once in a class a few days before said competition. So clearly she needs all the practice she can get.
So this morning, it was Monday morning as usual, except for yesterday was daylight savings so we are all a little tired and off of our game today. Kinley will have her cooking class which is supposed to go until 5:35, and board breaking class starts at 5:30. So Derek will go to the karate school to save our seats, while I pick Kinley up from cooking class 15 minutes early, so she can change clothes in the car. Thankfully they asked them to bring a snack so we sent a lunchable to hold her over. She has board breaking class from 5:30-6:30 and then weapons class from 6:30-7. Yeah, I forgot to fill you in on how she just learned the ending to her weapons routine and has to compete with it THIS Saturday. Then it will be home for official dinner, reading, and bed by 8.
As parents, why do we do this to ourselves and to our kids?? We feel stressed. They feel stressed. But when I asked her if there was something she was willing to skip, there was not. She really wanted to participate in each thing. It's a great life lesson for her I suppose. Some days just suck and are hard, but they are all for a greater purpose.
