Day 2598. This is week 5 of school for the kids. On Monday they all went back to school. Tammy and Emmy had a photographer come to their school. Randy went to the grocery store, and I taught from 11 to noon. Then I warmed up leftovers for Randy and left the house at 12:15 pm go to go the gym. After that, I rode the subway for one stop to pick up Sammy from school at 1:30 pm.
By 2 pm we were back home. At 2:30 I started teaching. Randy and the other kids got home a few minutes after that. I taught for an hour, then I made their sandwiches and cut up their fruit and did piano practice with the kids. At 4:30 pm I had my next student. That's also the time when Randy had to leave with Tammy and Emmy to take them to their exercise class. I then taught until 6:20, and I was not very upset, when my 6:30 pm student canceled. Randy had returned just after 5:30 pm and left again at 6 pm to pick them up at 6:30 pm from their class. By 7 pm they were back home. They ate their fruit, then it was bathtub time. After having prayed for them, I sat down to teach at 8 pm, while the kids went to bed. Tammy and Emmy lay down in my bed so I had to take them to their beds after I was done teaching at 9 pm. Then I made my salad and sat down to eat before going back to work.
Tuesday
Yesterday's morning student wanted to do a lesson every day this week so I had one scheduled for today at 11 am. I set my alarm for 10 am (to get up for the second time) but fell back asleep. When I got up at 10:30, I had very little time to make the soup for lunch AND prepare for my lesson, but I got it done. Just before noon I finished teaching, then I went to the kitchen to finish the soup so Randy could eat, then I ate as well.
Randy left a little earlier, just before 1 pm, while I left before 1:30 pm to pick up Sammy. By 2 pm we were back home. Randy and the other kids already got home a few minutes later. I then went downstairs with them to do piano practice. Back upstairs, I quickly made Tammy's sandwich, and at 2:45 pm Randy left with Sammy and Tammy. He took them to Tammy's dance school where Sammy had his dance class at 3:30 pm. He had lots of fun dancing with his teacher.
As for Emmy and I, I had a student at 3:30 pm. Once I was done an hour later, Emmy and I got ready to leave the house and walked to the subway to catch the train. When we got off after 3 stops, Randy and Sammy were already waiting for us there. We met half-way between the dance school and our home. I took Sammy, then Randy returned to the dance school where Tammy had her first class. That way Randy was there to help her change into her ballet clothes for the second class at 5:30 pm.
The boys and I got on the subway going back in the direction we had come from but we did not get off at hour house but continued on the subway to the very end. Then we walked to Emmy's soccer school right there. He got there mighty early, just after 5 pm, and his training started at 5:30 pm. He got his jacket back that he had left last time, and the main trainer there had his little daughter there that was walking around. He then handed her a microphone, and she was talking on the PA system. Then he also handed Sammy a microphone to talk, and he said what he asked him to.
Emmy took a ball and started playing, just like the other balls, even though the training hadn't started yet. Sammy and I then said our good-byes and left. By 5:45 pm we were back home. I then made my salad and cut up their fruit and gave Sammy his food. Then I sat down to prepare for my 8 pm student. Tammy's class ended at 6:20 pm, and the plan was for Randy and Tammy to not get off the subway but keep going to pick up Emmy whose training ended at 7 pm. They were supposed to get there right about that time. At 6:50 Randy called me. They had gotten on the wrong bus and had then taken the subway in the wrong direction. They were not going to make it in time. I texted the trainer who said that Emmy was with him. It was 7:15 pm before Randy and Tammy were able to pick up Emmy, and 7:45 pm by the time they were back home.
I had already put Sammy into the bathtub, so the others joined him once they got home, and they ate their fruit there. Time was short, so I quickly prayed for them, then I sat down to teach. Emmy and Tammy then lay down in my bed again to sleep. After I was done teaching at 9 pm, I took them back to their beds and sat down to eat my salad before going back to work. Now it's 1:30 am, and I still have to load the dishwasher, and tomorrow I have to get up early.
