Wacky Wednesday October 3, 2007

Posted by spacemom in : Parenting 101 , trackback

Every work morning, I try hard to organize my day on the ride in. 

Wednesdays are the hardest. I usually have a team meeting on Wednesdays. This can take anywhere from 1-2 hours. I think today will be short. I like to try to work out during the week. I have been slacking with the travel in August, the mono, and with the new school routine. I am trying to get back to it. I did yesterday, but I am not sure I will fit it in today.

Wednesdays also involve a new dance. The public transportation dance. We have a large meeting once a month with the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)  group on Wednesdays. Because of the timing, I am going to have to start taking the T (the subway) to the last station, and then take a bus to our town and walk the last 0.7 miles home. It’s not bad. I did it this past Wednesday. I was able to catch the bus in good time and for this trip, I met Soleil at the after school program. In the future, I am going to need to go later and walk home in the dark.

 In one sense, I think I like the time to think. It is not quiet time to think, but it is time to think. But, the time involved is insane. To go 15 miles, I need 1.5 hours. That’s before the walk. That is a big chunk of time. I wish I could do this more often, but let’s be serious. I don’t have 2 hours to spend on my commute each way, each day. As it is, we spend 45 minutes on the commute each way (it is really only 20 minutes direct, but with traffic and a drop to daycare…it goes up to 45)

I sometimes wonder how people do it. And then I realize, we all have our wacky Wednesdays. At least one day of the week, if not more, are just plain crazy!

And we all get through it.

Sounds like a great kindergarten program - a lot like the one at my school. We are still interested in developmental stages and try to plan activities that match where the children are. We also acknowledge that children develop at different time tables and don’t ask them all to be at the same place at the same time. Glad it is going well for you and yours.
