i found out last week that my son has been accepted into the local head start program. he'd been put on the wait list because we're over income level, but i guess there's no more kids to fill the slot and he was at the top of the list because of his apraxia and various therapies needed. so starting tomorrow he'll be in 'school' from 8-12 M-Th! plus he'll still be going to preschool M & W 1-3:30. headstart and the preschool are in the same building so he's already familiar w/ the place so he's very excited to be a "big boy" and goign to school everyday like his big sister. i have to admit i will miss the little booger but it'll hopefully give me a little more time for my clay.
i tell you i don't know how people like jen mecca can actually have a career and be a mom to young ones at the same time. her kids are older than mine, but she seem to have her s#!% together so much more than i do. i know it's not necessarily the case, but i can imagine others in a similar boat as me who's lives are so much more organized than mine. sometimes i think i'm just a total mess. i try to get on a schedule, but something always happens to throw me off. usually concerning the baby. i know things will get better when she's older, but i've got so many ideas in my head and so many things i want to try. i want to do it all NOW! oh well... i'll get there one day.
I still can't throw or trim pots when Kylie's around, last time i tried trimming w/ her there i ended up w/ a cheese grater stuck into the side of a bowl. but i can do some hand building and glazing and all that so i'm pretty excited about the headstart thing. off to bed now, stay tuned to see if the little munchkin let me get anythign done! ;)

Hi Kim, what about letting the little munchkins have their own bit of clay to keep them occupied? Sounds like you made quite a few pieces the other day, can't wait to see them.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, my 6yo loves to play w/ my clay and is pretty good. the 3yo only lasts about 5 mins and just makes a big mess, he can't sit still long enough to justify the clean up. the baby thinks it's meal time lol! got alot done today and almost done trimming, will post some pictures tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim...well, looks like you have been busy AND back to the clay...I have been away for the last ten days (got 'stranded' in my home town because of freezing rain and snow = poor driving conditions)so just now catching up on fellow blogger news. (no internet access while away)..feel like I have missed a lot!. Enjoy your new 'free' time :) T.
ReplyDeletewow. you sound a lot like me right now. both my kids are in school 5 full days, but still i cannot accomplish what i want to. i also think Jen Mecca seems to balance it all so well and is so productive. anyways, i hear you. that feeling of never getting enough done is always there. -vicki
ReplyDeletehi vicki, nice to know i'm not the only one. it's so depressing sometimes. i wouldn't trade my kids for the world, but i'd definitely like to install a pause button on them, or at least a mute button lol :)
