Our first week of summer day camp is over. This week’s them was Princesses and Superheros. This was a big deal for me because my son is very picky in terms of classes and he has never been to a summer camp before. The camp was for all week from 9:30 am to noon, which was more than the time he spent in preschool in one week.
It was a good practice for all of us to start a new trend in September. I also had my daughter in the rec centers kids club three days a week. This program is only two hours from 9:15 and is a wonderful program to prepare the child for preschool. I had my son in the same program last summer just before he started preschool.
On Monday, I had them both at their programs “at the same time”!!!. My God I had a whole one and a half hour to spend on myself 
Yahooo!!! The only problem was that I was so not used to this luxury that at the end I did nothing except sitting in front of my computer and browse the web. If you ask me, Monday was useless I spent the whole time debating on what I should do. I learned from it though to plan my day the night before and have my breakfast even before the kids wake up. They say practice makes perfect, I was better on Wednesday and even best on Friday. I had my breakfast before dropping them off. Then in that 1.5 hour, I did my grocery shopping. I even had enough time to put them away before picking up my daughter. We had 45 minute to kill before picking up her brother so I drove back to home (it’s only a 7 minutes drive) cleaned up a bit and went back to pick him up.
I’m looking forward to the next week, and am planning to sign them up for another week in August as well. They are having fun and I’m having some me time which is much needed. This summer camp reminded me of how simple and quick chores can be without kids or with only one of them. I remember when I only had my son some things looked very difficult to do but now the same things looks easy when I’m only with one of them. It’s funny how life makes you stronger and change the way you look at the world around you.
Anyhow, having this time to myself opened my eyes to simple but efficient things you can do in a very limited time. Now I’m always on the look for things that can be done correctly in a very limited time. So at least until the end of summer, I try to document these things, and my projects around the house that hopefully, is going to be finished.
Until later,
