Ok, the kids are in school and they are getting back to normal with a normal schedule. We still need to get a piano teacher for Charlotte and maybe a gymnastics lessons or drama lessons for Helene. We did manage to sign Luke up for soccer, but with my luck I will be the one (of the infamous 'we') that gets to take him to practice and games, because JJ will be unavailable ...
Actually, September is looking to be a crazy month. I am in South Carolina early next week (hurricane Frances permitting) and I come home Wednesday evening. JJ has a wine tasting on Thursday and Friday the 10th he leaves for France for ten days.
My amore returns the 20th around 5pm, but I leave that same afternoon (around 2pm) for Montreal for the entire week! We are coordinating for car pick up in the parking lot, so he won't have to pay for parking. I just hope that he doesn't forget to pick me up at the end of the week. You know I wonder if our kids will get really used to only having to negotiate with one parent, they will probably go into freak out mode when we are both at home! I am not sure how JJ and I will remember to have dual parenting roles. Being a single parent is a difficult job and one that I pray to God I will never have to learn, but when you are the only one making the decisions, some things are easier. I don't mind the occasional two week single parent stint, but I pray it will never become permanent. Ofcourse, the more I think about it, the more I think that I would like to try a two week single person stint, and let JJ try the single parent thing!
We are getting really excited about Regine's and Jacques' visit. They are due to arrive in the middle of September and will stay with my parents for a month. I have been searching the web for small 3 and 4 day trips so that mom and they can go see little things around and then come back for a few days. If anyone has any suggestions for unique things to see and do within a five hour drive, let me know.
Hurricane Frances is reeking havoc with my mind for Monday's travel. I am a frequent traveller, but you may be surprized to hear that I am not a good traveller. I really HATE to fly. So you can imagine my dilemma with flying to South Carolina when the eastern side of Florida is being evacuated due to Frances. Now where is South Carolina locted again??? Oh yeah, just North of Florida on the EAST COAST! Yeah, I know there is a little state called Georgia between the two, but still, I fear a bumpy and yucky landing.
This is the last weekend that our pool club is open and we are hoping to take advantage of it. We are also planning on going to Penny and Brian's on Sunday night and the pool is having a pig roast on Monday and Jack is actually talking about taking the kids camping tomorrow night!!! I cannot imagine having the house all to myself all Saturday night, that pretty much sounds sinful. I'll get some chick flicks and watch myself silly while I take a footbath and exfoliate!
Happy Labor Day weekend one and all.
