The Singer is moping around tonight. Swim practice has now been cancelled for the first two practices (yesterday and today). In Florida, having swim practice outdoors at 5pm in the afternoon makes the chances of practice cancelled due to lightning very good. But, the Singer is moping because practice wasn't cancelled due to the weather, but because of the faculty advisor not being able to be there. The Singer loves to swim (and in fact prefers practice to the meets, because she likes to swim and likes to be pushed) and was looking forward to the practice starting. In addition, because school is 25 minutes away, when practice gets cancelled, she gets to hang out and wait in the hot sun for me to get there to pick her up. I sure hope practice is held tomorrow because I don't think the Singer or I could handle the disappointment of cancelled swim another day in a row.
Now that school is underway, our "school-year" schedule has begun. From now until late November/early December, the Singer will be swimming from 5-6:30 Mon thru Thurs, so dinner is at 7:00. Choir has started back up on Sunday evenings. Both girls are in that. Youth BEAT (the high school youth group at our church) begins in Sept and the Singer is on the Teen Advisory Board. The Imp starts dance in September. Hubby starts teaching Faith Formation to 7th graders on Wednesday evenings in September and I'll be teaching adult confirmation preparation. The Imp wants to take drum lessons, too. And she's trying out for the school volleyball team (she's not sure she'll make the team...but I'm proud of her for trying out). So while I'm busy with my consultation work and the household chores/errands during the day, my real work begins at 3pm and goes hard and long until about 10 pm. Isn't life great!
