A Little Salsa In My Life

Monday was a       day
Monday was actually a pretty good day.  The kids had just gotten back from Wisconsin the evening before, and that morning was the first I had to actually deal with them alone. As I was waking up Daughter, and got her dressed, I recalled she didn't have school that day. Oops. I still had her get up, not wanting her to get too far off her sleeping schedule. She has so many problems getting to sleep at night as it is.

I felt in a good mood and like I could handle all that was going on. It's been a long time since I have had those feelings.

We played it quiet, and only left the house to go to the “Y” so I could workout. It seems that all this time that I have been sending the kids to the daycare there, they have finally noticed a year later that my membership does not include the kids care. It will now cost me money, $4/child each time I bring them in. Those in charge of these areas (the childcare and the specific type of account I have) are going to talk and see what they can do to get the childcare for free, for me.

I checked out the Salsa dancing meetup group Monday night. Basically, it is a meetup group that takes structured, professional classes together and then goes to clubs here and there. I had a good time, and would like to continue, but Husband is worried about me being gone too often, leaving him with the kids at night.

I am torn on the issue, I need to get out of the house and have some adult, social interaction besides Husband, but there is a fuzzy line as to how much is enough or excessive according to him. He complains that he doesn't get to go out and do things in the evenings, but he has also never brought up any ideas he has. I probably wouldn't want him to go since I would be just getting off a full day with Monster and looking towards the rest of their waking time alone, but again, he hasn't asked. I wouldn't flat out say no, but I would definitely voice my concerns

Again, the second day in a row, I didn't realize until about 9:30pm that I had forgotten to write my blog entry. By now, my memory of yesterday is very fuzzy, and don't remember much more than this. My general feelings are that it was a good day, not outstanding or overly happy or anything, but still a good day.
