This week isn't quite the same as last year

Last year, this week off between swim and track was wonderful.  Just like this year, it was a four day week leading to a four day weekend, and we had very few (in fact almost none) other commitments.  It was just fabulous.

This year it isn't quite the same.  Yesterday, Andrew had two meetings after school and it was nearly 6:00 before he got home.  Robert also had a Navy commitment and we were gone over an hour for that.  This evening Andrew had parent conferences, and I have two meetings to attend myself.  Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday and our family is attending the service (and Thomas is acolyting).  Thursday evening Catherine has a club activity to attend, and Andrew may have a meeting as well.  It is not nearly as relaxing as last year, but it is what it is.  We still have next week which isn't too bad at this point.  It is still only a four day school week, and Robert only has track conditioning once.  And while I know I shouldn't wish away life, school is out in only 14 weeks!  I know that is not the right attitude, but I am just so very tired these days!
