Seriously Fitting?

Well, Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. May your day be filled with good weather, good company and good spirits!  Unfortunately, I will not get to see my own dad (he lives 600+ miles away).

To hubs - who is the greatest! It may not be the most ideal Father's Day in all of history but we do hope you enjoy it in the best way that you can. Here is the breakdown -

6am-11am - golf with his buds

11am - 11:45am - late breakfast with his kids

11:45am - 2:30pm - Hubs tends to his garden and reads the paper while his girls are backstage helping at the little kids dance recital

2:30-3:45am - picnic lunch in the car outside the recital theater. Talk about family fun!

4pm - 8pm - Hubs will nap and perhaps watch some sports and perhaps start dinner while the girls and I are at dance recital

8pm - 9pm  - late dinner as a fam and then bed - it is a school night around these parts.

So,  he gets approximately 3 hours with his kids today. Not really sure if that's what Father's Day is all about, but at least he gets to skip sitting through recital 2 days in a row-  maybe that's the most fitting Father's Day gift of all?

Seriously Fizzling

Grades for report cards are due in less than two weeks so you know what that means? We are cramming in the remainder of the curriculum and testing the children at a Dover Downs kind of pace.  Car was in tears today trying to find verbs in a verb phrase, three times she circled nouns (she is 10 years old people) We.are.just.done. 

If we finish out the year all in one piece it will be a miracle. Between 3 lacrosse games this week, on top of girl scouts for both and my leader meeting, 12 dance classes, two golf lessons and piano we are bit over scheduled to say the least. Oh, and hubs is gonna be gone Tuesday - Sunday. And, this is not even recital week. Next week should be a real kick in the ass.

The two meltdowns that occurred between 3:15 and 3:30pm from Car is not a good indication of how this is all going to go. And, I think I am PMSing again, already. My cycle is dwindling down to every 22-25 days, so this does not fare well for the overall vibe in this house either, as admittedly I am a little testy during the 7 days leading up to the menses. So, you do the math on how often that's occurring, it ain't pretty. 

Wish me luck. See you on the other side... of a margarita glass if I don't throw in the towel before then.
