I'm tired, and I don't see a whole lot of sleep on the horizon, to be honest. Between both my jobs, I will work close to (or a little over) 40 hours this week. I understand there are mothers who do this every week, and that is their reality. The problem in our house is that the kids (and hubby) are treating things like I'm only working 20 hours, and things are NOT getting done. I am extremely frustrated with that, but I guess it is what it is.
Saturday, the kids have to be at a home swim meet...at 7:30AM! Thank goodness it is a home meet! This is a meet with 30-35 teams, so seats are non-existent, and we don't generally go. I'll still be up though, and given the weather forecast I may even drive them. I have to work a volunteer shift from 11-3 that day, and then that afternoon, some very dear friends whom we have not seen in a very long time are coming to visit. We are so excited to be seeing them.
I am hoping to get the house picked up (and maybe even actually cleaned) before they arrive, but I still have several hours I need to get in at church. Oh, and did I mention my hubby leaves after school today for a baseball conference? Yep, he'll be gone almost 48 hours! The timing of this is exactly why I was not thrilled about all of this from the beginning.
Sunday, the kids get to be at the pool even earlier...by 7! This is just never my favorite weekend! Andrew has to work at a baseball clinic (seriously??), and we have plans again Sunday evening, but hopefully there might be able to be some naps that afternoon.
Thank goodness for Monday! Andrew still has the baseball clinic, but the rest of us should be able to just relax. After this weekend, only three more weeks of swim. Catherine is a little emotional about it, but we all appreciate having a little extra down time during the spring.
I don't want to wish time away, but it sure is easier to appreciate the less hectic days!
