Just the crazy, chaotic flurry of activity and logistics that comes with the new schedules, new routines, and new commitments of a new September.
Last year I discovered two days of the five out of the home was perfect. Enough to do some great outside activities while still spending enough time at home to focus on academics. I also discovered it was important not to break up the day but to have outside of home activities first thing or last thing of the day.
This year Anna-Lee has chosen to step out of all her dance activities and focus more on music, so her schedule reflects this.
However, here I am this year (at least the first term) looking at three of the five days containing out of house activities.
Reworking time of day and having a friend drive vs taking Para Transpo are a couple of the ways I am trying to solve this dilemma. Holding on to the other two days with no outside committments becomes even more important, and being free to pull out if it gets too much is an option.
We will also start slowly, and work our way up to the full schedule thorughout the month of September.
So what does our new September week look like?
