I am taking dd18 on a college trip this weekend. We leave Thursday, and come home late Sunday. Dh gets to...
Get everyone to school and home from school on Thursday, and take the older 2 to swim and taekwondo.
Pack lunches for the two elem kids on Friday, and get everyone to school and home, and to swim and home, and to taekwondo and home.
Take ds12 to early morning swim on Saturday, followed by dd12 to her swim meet on Sat morning, and then pick up ds12 from swim and take him to his baseball game, and take care if ds9 plus dd5 along the way. Oh, and help ds9 finish up his science fair project.
Sunday is a repeat of Saturday, minus the ds12 swim practice and he has baseball practice vs a game. Oh, and dh has to pick us up from the airport.
Anyway...
I couldn't really pare down the schedule, and I've done this gig so long solo that it didn't initially occur to me that it's asking a lot. Now we are definitely committed to these activities. I mentioned it to him (all the double bookings) and he said, "I'll have Kate babysit" but Kate is going to be with me!!!
But he'll do fine... They might eat cereal for every meal, but that's ok.
