come undone

good times

My folder with everyone's blog address is gone.  Noooooooo.

what's happening

Camp is done. Thirty-six 3-hour gym sessions are complere and I have a terrible grande coffee frappucino lite addiction as a result. Like, I walk into Starbucks and it's waiting for me on the counter. They know. Camp was great...it gave me time to answer emails and make calls. Also gave me time to stare at a wall. For the czar, camp was amazing. He made friends: Jakey, Luke and Sammy Jammy. We had a playdate at Sammy Jammy's this afternoon. Me and three nannies. I will miss you, Buddy Camp...

Next week begins a ridiculous family social calendar...then on the 9th, I hand over my life savings and the czar begins his 2-day program at preschool combines with a weekly 2-hour stint at Buddy's gym class so he can hang with his crew. The preschool, by the way, comes with a lengthy list of rules and regulations and a parent get together at a raquetball club. Well excuusssse me.

Lots of other stuff brewing...MIL discussing a 4-month visit...possible home situation for us (looking good)...work seems to be picking up a teensy bit...OH and it seems I have to book a place for my son's December birthday party NOW. Jeez.

So that's what's been happening. It's a lot of nothing, which I guess is a good thing.

And KATE GOT A COURT DATE.

news!

Kate got a court date!

school

After a successul summer at Buddy Camp and accepting the fact that "mommy comes back," I decided to enroll the czar in preschool — the smallest, most likeable program I could find in my area that wasn't 7 grand a year. Found one close to home that's not 7 grand, but it's still up there for 2 days a week, 9-12.. The preschool director did her best to pressure me into enrolling him in a full day program, or additional mornings. "He's the only one doing 2 half days" she kept saying, and I kept saying "no, thank you."  My main argurment is the fact that my son spends his afternoons sleeping, sometimes for up to 3 hours. I refuse to pay a facility for a naptime and a wasted afternoon of sleepwalking. Yeah, I'm anal about naps. He just needs them...I need them too.  The two half days are enough for now and I'll be keeping him in a 2 hour sports class at Buddy's — he begged to stay and loves it there.  It's just weird having to shop for school items. I have a list. A friggin' list! And once a month, I'll be hosting snack time. This is serious stuff...and I don't think I have the energy. Man, I hated school...but the czar will love it. Hey, maybe they'll potty train him.
