6 years 10 days

Day 2201. Today was the fourth day of the kids going to school. Tammy and Emmy love it. Every day Tammy comes home and tells me how much she loves school. I think she's the one the most surprised about it. Emmy expected to love it, and he does. Today Tammy told me that she had a new friend, after her former best friend has been shunning her and spending time with another girl.

Sammy loves his school as well, and when I take him there or pick him up, it's obvious how much everyone loves him. It's now my daily job to drop him off there at 8:30 and pick him up at 1:30. Randy leaves the house just after 7 am to take the other two to their school and picks them up at 1:50 pm to take them home.

These past two days all three kids have spent the afternoon at home as most of their classes start next week or the week after. I had three hours of teaching yesterday afternoon, and today an hour in the morning, three hours in the afternoon and an hour at night.

Randy and I have both been going to bed earlier since the alarm goes off at 6:15 am every morning. I've found myself very tired during the day as I still go to bed too late. If possible, I lie dowm for short naps during the day.  And yesterday, I went to the gym after dropping Sammy off at school, just like I'd done on Tuesday. Today I went home as the cleaning lady was supposed to come. However, she canceled on short notice and is coming on Saturday instead.

The only picture of the past two days shows Sammy at school, playing with the toniebox, when I arrived to pick him up.
