Tigers

After a very late drop off for Reuben, just as I struggle so much on every level when I'm doing all this by myself. I know many people do. But I just struggle. Too many calls trying to sort out things leading to loose ends with school authorities for Reuben. Beyond frustrating.

A better time in finding a wonderful new preschool for Callum at the YWCA and within walking distance to Reuben's school, all due to open in the Autumn. The planned for vegetable garden will be nurturing and beautiful. So that'll be just one big drive a day, there and back rather than the all over town on the freeways as I currently do. I could even avoid the freeway entirely. Only downside is that the mornings are full even before the school has opened so he'll go in the afternoons for I think 3 days, but perhaps that will be a new opportunity to spend time just with Reuben on the beach or reading when he finishes school, just as I've had the opportunity to do with Callum in the mornings whilst Reuben's been in school. I'll switch the kids over at lunchtime! It reminds me too that I don't think I've walked along a beach just Reuben and I before.

The afternoon beyond a great chat with Trudi, was very very tough. The boys go stir crazy at home unless I'm doing activities with them all the time and that's not always possible now is it. I can't help but think some time apart for these two tigers isn't such a bad idea.
