“If life was easy, where would all the adventures be?” – Anonymous
Thank you for that, Spidey.
We are about to embark upon another adventure fuelled by life not being easy!
The in-laws are off to India, which means childcare fun… and juggling lots more stuff than usual, as they aren’t here to be the support network they usually are.
It used to be much simpler. The kids were both at school where I worked. I could arrange for them to go to after school club, then leave at a decent time, so things were okay.
Then Lil Man went to Secondary. That year, his friend lived a few moments away, so I’d drop him there every day and pick him up from there too. It was like he had surrogate grandparents.
Last year it changed as his friend moved to a different place.
And so the juggling started. He could walk to my in-laws a few times a week, as my brother-in-law works from home some days, but the others, he had to come to school to me, which means no work gets done, as I am refereeing between the kids instead of doing what I really need to get done.
This year will be much the same, but Lil Princess wants to walk to her grandparents’ house on the days her uncle is home too.
Fine.
As long as they don’t try and commit murder whilst under his care…
Still, I’m sure we’ll manage.
So… tell me, what adventures are you planning soon?
But I Smile Anyway...
