Once again, I'm not "that" mom. I have had a really hard time "enjoying" my kids this summer. Alot of it has to do with a new baby, hormones, and a not-so-thrilled-about-her-life-turned-up-side-down-toddler. So, that said, it's been a ROUGH year. After signing up for the co-op, I talked to Svend and we figured we'd spend the same on gas (I like 15-30min from each home) as we would on the cheap preschool... so, we signed him up! He's excited, I'm excited. I get time with just Tabitha--she needs that OH-SO-Badly right now, and I have a double stroller...which means I can start walking/jogging again without a tag-a-long. (sorry Bergen...but that kid is oblivious to anything...he's a daydreamer..so not good when I have him biking next to me). However, guilt has the best of me and I will still be doing the co-op...sometimes but obviously when I teach. Plus, Bergen really is lazy. He needs another figure to tell him what to do rather than his mom (he's a total MOMMA'S boy and I love it!). I'm trying hard to not feel guilty about wanting my kids gone for periods of time...but it really has been a rough year.
speaking of gas (well, before the tangent), my goal has always been to make a tank last 2 weeks. With the volvo it worked pretty well...with the van...it's been tough. Especially with preschool/playdates/park dates/etc. However, I was sooo proud of myself because last fill up was after 2.5 weeks! wahoo! However... it's the last day of my 2 weeks and I only have 17 Miles til Empty--BOO! I've got to do better :) Especially since Svend has to fill up every week and sometimes every few days, darn commute.
