Wednesday, August 8, 2007 - More Consistent
Having a job has forced me to be more conservative with my time. I am happy because I make sure we do school on a regular basis now. It's amazing how much we can get done when we sit down to do work. I'm even reading more to the kids now. This is great!
I do miss them during the day though. I guess that's only natural. I'm thankful that my work schedule is such that I have three full days with the kids. I'm also thankful for all the help I have. I wish Jorge would make more time for them on the days that I have to work but that may come with time. I think this has been a tough adjustment for him.
My goal is to do at least 90 minutes of school with Mari when I get home from work. On Mondays when I don't have to work I would like to do about 3 hours. That would give us nine hours each week which I think is reasonable for Mari's age.
On Monday I signed Mari up for ballet for the fall. I feel a little guilty because I didn't have enough money to sign Gabby up. My hope is that I will be able to sign her up in a few weeks when I have more money. I think they are going to love it. I also want to do something with Genna but we'll see because she is still so young.
