| There have been a couple good things - like Dilbert let the kids stay up last night to watch fireworks (but only at our house. He said we could see the city's above the trees. More like sort of through the trees. There were a lot in our neighborhood, and he even bought a couple. Both the kids thought it was the best night ever. He even caught a firefly and handed it to me. He worried he might have been a bit rough catching it, but it flew away when it was done. I held magic! But I've been very tired, and I'm not catching up on sleep. I keep waking Tempest to get her to the bathroom, rather than relying on her non-functioning internal alarm. She went to gymnastics with the team again, allowed to work out with them, on Monday morning (her regular class was cancelled). And her coach was loud and it scared her a bit but she may have gotten over it. But she wouldn't get on the beam at all without the mats underneath it, so she's just really not ready and those two things solidified it for her coach. And me. I also wonder if something changed for Tempest during that time, because she was exhausted when she was done (1.5 hours of strength training will do that to a girl) but she wouldn't say. She says she still wants to do the team. but, I don't know how to read that shift at this moment. Dilbert has been home since midday Friday. And he wants to clean. He's also got a new codex that he's running all of the movies through to save space - and some of them we haven't watched since the last new codec a few years ago. And he spends all his time running down there to check on it, and I don't even know what to think. He's excited about saving space, great. But... Does it all have to be done this week? The only thing it isn't getting in the way with is the cleaning. And at some point I just have to sit down because my ankle still isn't healed, and I hate it. Saturday I got an email from the PiYo people - and they're changing the teacher certification something or other in a very confusing way and then they took a 4 day weekend. I hope I can call them about it tomorrow. Now I'm a little worried I can't teach that for the foreseeable future, either. But I'm going to get details before I throw in the towel. Dogbert is not wanting to jump on the cleaning game, as usual, but Tempest is trying hard. Except my mother took Tempest this morning, and she'll be back tomorrow. I sat in his room and told him what to do to clean up for maybe an hour? Maybe longer. But he eventually did it after trying to wiggle out of it. I can't do it for him. It's really rough. Dilbert also bought a new brand of hot dogs, and they're a different color and a different length and Dogbert decided he didn't like them. Like, more than it's worth to talk him into eating them. But Dilbert got frustrated and he seems to have fixed it for now? But the frustration was on many things and of course he took them all on at once with the poor kid. *shakes head* No wonder I'm exhausted. Because then he leaves me for the codex and I have to try to keep going. And he says this is the brand we're buying from now on because it's so much cheaper. Then Dilbert thought it'd be fun to go to a movie. But there are two movies the kids will love out this week: Cars 3 and Despicable Me 3. (We saw Wonder Woman Sunday night for date night.) Mom said she'd take Tempest to Cars 3, but I said we were gonna do that on Thursday and she says, well, I took them to Moana a second time and they were fine. So i texted her to see if she was going there, and she eventually texted back - after we bought tickets for Cars, that they saw DM3 (her phone autocorrected to Disputable Me, which was amusing). So now Dilb and I are trying to figure out how to fix that among the kids. So we might split up and each take one to a movie they didn't see. Wonder woman was amazing. Cars 3 is really good- better than 2, right up there with the original, I think. (Maybe 2 just has too much Mater for me.) And... teaching two extra classes this week (tai chi and pilates). Then I saw the schedule for that 300 hr yoga add-on to get me to the 500 hr certification. I truly don't understand why we have to make it all work within 5 months, but it seems both 200 and 300 in this area are built that way. But the schedule is every other weekendish, 3 hours Fri night, 11 hrs Sat, 11 hrs Sun, 3 hrs Mon night - there are make-up hours on Thurs eve and there will be additional hours to be scheduled on Wednesdays or Sundays. This is the program with the same guy who just did my 15 hour brain explosion a week or so ago. And those hours on Sat and Sun begin at 5am. I... I don't know that I am up to that. I am almost positive my family isn't. And it makes me so sad I dared to dream I could. |
