Ready..VENT! What keeps you from getting to the pool?
Me first.
I am so bummed. Traffic was all jammed up because of an accident and oil spill on the expressway. It took me 2 hours and 10 minutes to get home. That's a 10 mile drive. I could have run faster if they let me take a straight line on the highway. I sat and peeled and ate an orange without even creeping forward. And not one of those tangelos or zipper peel kinds. Thank goodness I had snacks. I certainly didn't think to visit the ladies room before I left work. Normally even in the worst of traffic it's less than an hour. I couldn't even get off the highway because all the exits were jammed because the city was blocked up because people couldn't get on the highway.
And I thought traffic was going to be wasy because of school vacation week.
I work full time and go to school part time. That ate up all my swimming time for the evening. I went to work and left work early to get in some good pool time tonight.
Blech.
Your turn...NEXT!
we'll NEVER have any rugrat ballarinas in our household! :joker:
Me neither. We're all big klutzes here. I think only SwimStud will!
Bill:
This is only my personal experience, but
For me, the separation anxiety started at 3 when they went to pre-school. All three of mine were just awful. Even my now outgoing FEARLESS middle child was a disaster, clinging to my leg, sobbing her eyes out, ratcheting up the omnipresent mommy (or daddy)-guilt for going to work. (Although she started being a huge pain at 17 months. I literally remember the day.)
Are your kids exhibiting this naughtiness in school or everywhere? It eventually goes away in school, although it can take a few weeks. Othewise, I would advise getting ready for the long haul. The threes were not my very favorite time. But I don't think the teenage years are always a bowl of cherries either. That's when the self-absorbed ingratitude stage kicks in. Enjoy 4-11! (Wait, I remember a sassy spell at age 9 for my two older ones.) :rofl:
