the crazy train that is, not me. I am not slowing down. Too much to do in so little time ;) We had a great weekend. We didn't DO alot, went basically nowhere, but my head is much clearer and I feel we have a plan in place.
This is what we accomplished:
1. I made a list of all the things I want/need to get done.
2. I made homemade oreos and gave nearly all to neighbors and Chris' work friends.
3. I created little Halloween treats for Claire and Mya's friends at school.
4. Laundry was washed & dried.
5. I began going through the stacks of papers that have become my recipes, cutting and filing appropriately.
6. I prepared the new meatball recipe that we will eat for dinner tonight.
7. I put together the salad I brought to work for a luncheon today.
8. I made Mya's lunch for today.
9. Chris fixed the hole in the bike tire so Mya can work on riding a bike with two wheels.
10. Chris put up the crib.
11. I updated the software on my computer and Chris attempted to update my ipad for me (darn internet in Germany is horrid--cannot sustain a connection long enough to complete this task).
12. The pumpkin is carved and we watched our first Halloween movie.
AND THE BEST NEWS OF ALL.....
13. We may have come across a solution for Mya's school schedule.
Out of fear of looking like an unprofessional person, I haven't asked my supervisor/principal at work about rearranging my schedule a bit to accomodate picking up Mya. After hemming and hawing about it all weekend, I knew this was what I had to do. I work with the most wonderful, family friendly people ever. I am so blessed. Not sure why I was worried, but I did finally muster up the courage to have a face to face conversation with him. I explained the situation, offered my proposal to move my lunch/prep period to the end of the day--leave work, pick up Mya and return to work 40 minutes later. He gave his approval, said that was absolutely fine. PHew! Problem solved. It will still be a bit of a pain, but now Mya won't go to an FCC provider at all. Chris will bring her to school in the morning and I will pick her up in the afternoon. Simple. Smooth. And, all in the family, which is how I like it. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. And just like that, the crazy train is slowing down and I am loving it!
