Well, we've been having quite a week. DH stopped last night, mid-step, and asked if we went someplace on Monday. I said, Yes... taekwondo. It was just dawning on him that we have (or will be, counting tonight) out every night this week. TKD on Monday night, church on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, TKD last night, and DS2 has a practice for his demo team (also tkd, but performance oriented) tonight.
Making dinners has been interesting. We ate at church Tues, picked osmething up on Wed since the teens ate at church. I didn't expect another quick turnaround dinner this afternoon, but I'll have to figure it out. DS's practice is 15 minutes earlier than we normally get there. But we'll also have to leave earlier. The main dojang building is still under reconstruction after the fire last month. They've been attending class at a church near that dojang, but the demo team won't be able to fit in there. So that practice is in their other school location. In terms of miles, it's not too bad, but there's pretty much ONE highway to cut across the city, and that time of day... it's going to be packed with traffic. DH was already trying to think of a place there to pick up dinner, but when I started rattling off restaurants, he lost his enthusiasm.
On top of that, Friday is normally a minimal teaching/planning day for me. Not today. I have at least one make-up class scheduled, I have a meeting backed up against that, and a rehearsal this afternoon that will probably run into one of my scheduled classes to teach. Thank goodness for Zoom recordiings so I can watch what I miss.
The house is... slipping. The boys have done all dishes this week (some people - some people not me 😆) don't believe in loading the dishwasher until the end of the day, so they let the dishes pile up. ANyway, several times this week, they loaded the dishwasher before bed, hand washed what won't go in... And then forgot to run the dishwasher. It's up there runnning again right now (instead of being emptied by me). I had pulled a bunch (as in, cover the dining room table) amount of stuff out or storage for the presentation/class I did at the library last Saturday. Turns out I'm going to need better access to it, so when I find an hour, I'm going to shuffle around some thngs that are stored in closets.
Okay, I need to go to get started on this long, very full day.
Have a wonderful day, ladies.
