I'm getting used to no school! Things are evening out. This is good.
Friday I woke up feeling ready for our busy day. I made bagels and sausage for breakfast and served it with tea in our new tea cups. It was almost like having our own little tea party at breakfast. I just needed a cleaner floor.
Daddy had the day off but we all let him sleep in.
Friday a local pool hosts pay-to-swim for anyone, and since they usually require a membership we try to go every Friday. (We don't have a membership and the pay-to-swim is only $5 a kid!) Daddy stayed home for some alone time but Reuben, Becky and Esther and I went swimming from 9-11. My friend Amy and her four kids came and we had a blast. At one point during our swim they opened these bay doors and two goats from some neighboring farm walked in and Reuben was like, eh mom is there supposed to be goats in here? And no, there was not supposed to be goats in there.
We came home exhausted and I made sourdough pizza for lunch and then Esther and I promptly took a two hour nap. I was glad she and I both took such a long nap since we would be going to Reuben's game later and would be up late, and there is nothing worse than a tired, screaming toddler at a sporting event...
Anyway, Reuben's game was postponed until the next day due to intermittent thunder storms. This is the third time his game has been rescheduled due to rain. Crazy.
Esther didn't go to sleep until 10pm. That also was crazy. Daddy made dinner which was really nice, a beef and broccoli dish that everyone loved. But he only made one cup of rice and everyone was lacking in rice. I told him we are a 2-cup of rice family now, but does he listen? No, he did not.
I finally got to bed at 10:30 which is really late for me. I like to be in bed by 9 but it is impossible to go to bed with a very awake baby crawling on your face.
Saturday we all woke up late, threw on our clothes and ran to the farmers market before Reuben's game where I bought donuts for my kids for breakfast. I'm the best mom. They were thrilled. I ate a bagel. I did eat a donut after lunch... Reuben's team won their football game and they get to go to the second tier of the playoffs! Next we play the Dolphins on Tuesday, but I am not holding my breath because rain is forecast. It will probably be rescheduled.
We came home and every Saturday I make a salad for lunch with sourdough bread. Esther took a nap but this time I just watched meaningless YouTube videos that while entertaining, make my head feel like it's full of cotton candy. I really need to have better boundaries with the internet. Right now I only get on YouTube on the weekends but maybe that is too much! I always end up enjoying it while watching but after I feel like I have wasted my time and gotten nothing done, which makes me stressed. I do not feel that way when I read a book. We contact nap, so I am stuck wherever she is. Usually I read to the kids during this time or finish up school, but I take Esther contact naps for myself on the weekends and...veg out. This is okay right? I have no idea.
Brian mowed half the lawn, and is currently grocery shopping. And that ends our first week of summer break from homeschool!
