No water day

Good afternoon, readers! Hope everyone is enjoying their hump-day Wednesday! I just got back from lunch at Ward with Mr. Movie-pants. It's so nice to get out of the office, get into a car and drive away from work ... for at least an hour.

This morning, I had a bit of time so I went online to look for summer programs for B. I wanted to enroll her in Japanese school again this summer, but her class is already full. So, she'll have to attend the Fall session. Also looking at sending her to ballet school and swim classes. Still trying to figure out how to pay for all of this, but the good thing is that most of these programs don't have an official start/end date. She can enroll anytime which means when mommy can pay for it. 

Today, B's class was supposed to have a water play day at school. But, the weather on our side was too cold and rainy this morning, so when we arrived at class, they were informed that there would be no water day. The other students seemed not to dwell on it, but my B took it a little hard. She had been looking forward to playing water all week with her classmates and so it took her a little longer to sign in and get over it. It's times like this that I wish I didn't have to work a 9-5 job. Or at least have the option of having the mornings off to deal with school stuff and my little B's array of moods. Most of the other mothers don't work or have an afternoon schedule, so they are able to stay as long as they want, chit-chatting with the teachers and the other non-working parents. While I am grateful to even have my job, I still long to be at home to be free to do all this fun stuff with B. 

I've been contemplating making a change in my work schedule ... rather, situation. I absolutely love my office and the people I work with, but I want to spend more time with B this summer since she'll be out of school. I'd like to be able to take her to her classes and pick her up without having to rely on my parents so much. I'm thinking of working part-time at Starbucks and finishing my book so that can help pay for some things, too. That's the dream ... to make a good  living off of my writing. One day ...

Until then, gonna keep trying to make ends meet. Can't wait to get home and veg out on some season 8: Grey's Anatomy.
