Day 2095. Yesterday was the only day to sleep in this week, and I really needed it after the early morning on Monday. I could still feel the tiredness all day long. I got up late and went straight to the kitchen to get cooking. Randy and Sammy returned home at around 12:40 pm, and Randy left again to go pick up the other two. They returned home around 2:20 pm. I made sandwiches for dinner, and at 2:50 pm I left with Tammy and Emmy.

We took our scooters, rode the subway, then the tram, then our scooters the rest of the way. We got there a few minutes before the class was to start at 3:30 pm. And Tammy and Emmy had fun as usual. It seems like the teacher tried to do a choreography with them as he has talked about a performance at the end of the semester. They also played some dancing games, and in the end they all did handstands. The three of us left just before the class was over.

We rode our scooters to the tram stop and took the next tram. After three stops we got off and rode our scooters to the school where their class was taking place. We got there earlier than usual and ran into our friend Michi who was arriving at the same time as us. Randy and Sammy weren't there yet. The kids went straight into the gym, and I sat down along the wall, where we always sit. Then Michi arrived, then Randy with Sammy. Sammy was very happy to see his friend again. It was the very last ball-playing class of the season, and Sammy played ball with Michi during the whole hour. Tammy and Emmy also had fun playing games in their class, and they did pretty well. Emmy now enjoys throwing hoops, and he gets the balls in quite often.

At 5:30 pm the class was over, and we left. They went to the playground right there for about 15 minutes, then we walked to the bus stop and took the 5:50 pm bus home. By 6:15 we were back home. I went to the kitchen to cut up their fruit and gave them their plates. Then I sat down at the computer to prepare for my 8:10 pm student. Next we went downstairs for piano practice, then they went into the bathtub, then it was story time. They then went to bed, while I sat down at the computer to teach. By 9 pm I was done and went to the kitchen to get myself something to eat. After having eaten, I went back to work.

This morning Sammy stayed home with, while Randy took Tammy and Emmy to kindergarten. Thankfully I was able to stay in bed for most of the time, even though Sammy asked for my attention a lot. Randy returned home pretty early and then left again with Sammy to take him to horse therapy which is now on Wednesdays at 10:30.

My alarm went off at 10:30 as I had a 11:15 am student. Randy and Sammy returned home just before noon while I was teaching. I finished at 12:30 pm, then Randy left to go pick up Tammy and Emmy. Sammy wanted to watch Peppa Pig on the big screen, then play with the door, then have his headset. I did some scanning first, then made room for him to play with the door.

I was surprised when Randy returned home after only an hour, at about 1:45 pm. I still don't know how he did it as it takes 75 minutes to go to their kindergarten and come back home. I didn't mind them being home so early and suggested we'd go downstairs for piano practice which we ended up doing. Back upstairs, I had to go straight to my computer to get ready for my 2:20 pm student. First I made sure that the kids were dressed for their exercise class. Tammy and Emmy left with Randy just after 3 pm to take the 3:20 pm train. Sammy let me finish my student in peace. I was done by 3:10 pm.

Then I was all his again, helping him with the projector, playing with the door and listening to his headset. I prepared for my 5:30 pm student and went to the kitchen to make their sandwiches for dinner as well cutting up their fruit. I put the plates on the table, and then Randy and the kids already returned home. Sammy had even finished his sandwich before they did. They then sat down to eat, while I started teaching.

By 6:20 pm I was done teaching. A few minutes later it was time for the bathtub, but first I got Randy's machine out to shorten the boys' hair. Sammy is having his picture taken by a photographer in kindergarten tomorrow. After the bathtub, I put Sammy to bed with a prayer, then I sat down with Tammy and Emmy for some stories. It was earlier than usual so we had more time than usual for stories. Then I prayed for them, they brushed their teeth, then they went to bed, while I sat down at the computer to teach. I taught from 8:10 to 9 pm, then I went to the kitchen to make myself something to eat. After having eaten, I went back to work. Now it's 12:30 am, and I still have to take care of the kitchen.
