somehow the girls 4 day school week has felt like the longest week of our lives. coming off the birthday high and last weekend's roadtrip and jumping right into school (for the girls and me!), and long nights of activities, we're all completely wiped. my mom has been in virginia helping my gramma for 3 weeks now, with 3 more weeks to go, and the girls are really missing her! she helps so much with the girls activities- driving and having food ready, which we are so lucky for! and for me, just keeping up with all the things- the backpacks, homework, reading goals, dance classes (including tiny 2's which i'm teaching for the 6th year), school and dance studio emails, my own school program (which i absolutely am loving and finding such purpose in!), art and trampoline classes for eloise, american heritage girls (catholic girl scouts) for betsy, voice and agency stuff for lucy, therapy appointments for me (life-changer)... it's all good and well. but as jon said yesterday "here we are... we're in it". he is the A+++ dad and teammate. he takes the girls while i do schoolwork on the weekends, picks up from late night activities, keeps the fun alive, helps with math homework, funds our lives, grocery shops, makes sure home projects get done, takes care of the dog, and this weekend is helping the girls with an optional library project that all 3 are insisting on and that i just don't have the mental space for right now. life is so much better together!
