I joined the Twin Cities Women’s Choir this year and someone suggested this video to us.  It made me smile.

Starting The Weekend Out Right

I’m realizing this morning that my weekends now officially start on Wednesday.  The new arrangement with The Boy™ is that he is with his pops from Saturday afternoon until Wednesday morning before school, and then I pick him up Wednesday afterschool and he is with me until Saturday.  It’s perfect for all involved really.  He attends a school which is only in session Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.  On Thursday and Friday he is homeschooled with direction from the school via the internet.  Since The Professor™ works during the day, it would be virtually impossible for him to be home with The Boy™ for those homeschooled days.  My job gives me the freedom to be there with him.  It is the perfect 50/50 split of the week, allowing both of us as parents to get half of the weekend for grownup life, while still having the kiddo with us for a weekend day.  It’s ideal.

And so, today, being Wednesday is the start of my weekend.

I’ve begun attending the Twin Cities Women’s Choir on Wednesday nights as well, so W and The Boy™ will be on their own.  From what I understand, tonight that means they are watching television and making calzones.   She is really adjusting beautiful to having an 11 year old child around half of the time.  Ninty percent of me knew from the beginning that she would be great with him.  Hell, she’s a kid herself some of the time.  But I never figured she would just jump right in and become such an integral part of his life.  I am so grateful and thankful for that.  It has made the transition so much easier on him.
