The Daily Craziness is keeping us so Busy.

I don't really have any one topic to Blog about this week.  It has been such a hectic week with different things popping up that seem to interrupt our very routine life.  For example, last Friday night on the way home from work my car broke down.  I am talking black smoke pouring out of the hood.  My anticipated Friday night full of chilling out with the kids and taking a neighborhood walk was stolen from me by my 2003 minivan.  Two hours later Shawn had me home safe and sound and the tow truck had delivered the van to the "car doctor"~ as Hudson calls it.  Uggghhh.  Not a fun way to start a weekend.  $1000 later (new AC compressor) the car is back on the road, but not after some anguish on my part as I was thinking perhaps we should throw in the towel and buy a new one.  I do like my old beast though, just not the bills it has been bringing.  On to more important things.  Kids. 

I had a Mother's Day that started off with breakfast in bed and a handful of homemade cards by the kids. It was nice to have them shower me with food and cards and their excitement.  The funny thing is I had to pretend I was just waking up, meanwhile I was upstairs doing laundry for the two hours they were downstairs with Shawn getting ready to "wake me".  My bed had no sheets on it when they came to see me (they were being washed), but no one seemed to notice and I do think they really thought I had just woken up!! 

This week has been hectic as Shawn has been out extra nights with work commitments and I have been unable to do my normal YMCA workout with the girls.  So, I was a little thrown off by this as I realized that I draw energy from burning calories!  I am hoping to get back into the routine next week. 

Finally, I got this email from Myles teacher yesterday:

Good afternoon,

I am writing to set up a meeting with you and your husband to discuss Myles' progression and recommendation for next year.  The end of the year is creeping up quickly, only 33 days left!  I tutor after school on Tuesday's for Myles and also on Thursday; every other day of the week I am available to meet right after school.  I am also available any day before school or after 4:30.  Please let me know what day and time works best for you. 

Thank you,

Pam Zagadsky

Kingston Hill Academy

We tried to meet with her this morning but she can not meet until next week.  We are anticipating a suggestion from her to have Myles repeat 1st grade.  So for all those readers of this Blog, we are confused by what we should do.  We know our 6 year olds are individuals and we get that, believe me, but should we keep one back and let the other one go on to the next grade?  Should we keep them both back?  Perhaps she will surprise us and tell us that he is suddenly doing great and reading at the correct level, I am hoping. I am afraid that Shawn and I will have a big decision on our hands in the week to come in regards to what to do about next year for the twins.  We will keep you posted with this.

Happy Friday.
