School-aged Check-in (4/25)

enchanted - I'm sorry another letter was required this week. This is such a tough age, dealing with big emotions. I think Daniel Tiger has an episode about frustration and counting to 5? Or maybe that's the 'mad' episode. {{hugs}}


This is J's last week of dance and I'm glad to get our Saturday mornings back for a little while. I'm also taking her to a unicorn festival this Sunday, just me and her. It should be fun. She's been craving some Mommy time. But we may end up with Little Brother, so she may not be *too* thrilled about that. We'll see.

I'm tired. My mom has been dealing with some health issues and it's really stressing me out. Bleck.

QOTW: April 25th LOL

Dinner out and drinks, followed by dessert somewhere and spiked coffee. Oh, and mini-golf or pool.

enchanted, that sucks. I second the Daniel Tiger if he's into it- they do have a "if you're feeling frustrated..." episode. DS1 used to sing the song all the time.

oldbaylover1024, a unicorn festival sounds pretty amazing! Have fun!

DS1 (7) is wrapping up tutoring this week. We're getting to the end of the school year, and it's like they're trying to pack everything in in the last few weeks. We have so much stuff coming up between him and H's work. He's good though, and he's thriving on all the excitement. We enrolled him in summer school (here they use it to get a jump on the next year's curriculum), and he's annoyed but looking forward to the money they give him on the last day if he goes every day.

QOTW: It's funny- yesterday's weather was rainy and gross, but all I needed was a light jacket! An activity (like mini golf or bowling or hiking) followed by dinner and drinks. Our friends' oldest daughter is starting to babysit, and the boys love her. I'm looking forward to a lot more date nights this summer!
