Day: June 29, 2007

I let my kids sleep in again today. The average needs per hour for the day was around 2-3. This is still worlds better than before, but not so heavenly as yesterday. Naturally 2-3 needs per hour is only an average. There were some uninterrupted hours, there were some excessively interrupted hours. The 9 PM bedtime remains a theoretical possibility rather than an actuality. I’ll try again tomorrow I guess. I just had too much fun sitting and talking with fun people to stay focused. Oh well. Good friends are balm for the soul. Well worth bedtime being a little bit later.

This morning I finally tracked down my relatives with whom I needed to compare schedules. We want to trade children sometime in July and I needed to know when. With that issue settled, I sat down to schedule swim lessons. I discovered that there were no times available where I could put four kids into four swim levels all during the same half hour. I am not interested in running over to the pool multiple times on the same day, so this presents a problem. I presented the problem to the kids and we all agreed that instead of official lessons, we’ll just go swimming once per week for the rest of the summer. This will cost about as much as the swim lessons would have and I suspect that the kids will actually have more fun. Now I just need to follow through on the “once per week” promise.
