Rainbow Tuesday

On Mondays, I have endless energy and I feel like Mary Poppins. Tuesdays… not so much. On Tuesdays, I have an 8am zoom call with other camp directors. I really enjoy this call- both personally- it’s great to connect, and professionally, I get a lot of great ideas and important perspective. The boys entertain themselves very well for the first hour or so, and then it becomes a balancing act.

Even though the call is great and the boys cooperate, when it ends, I feel behind and never quite catch up all day. I can’t figure out how to shake this- we have a completely flexible schedule and don’t have to be anywhere at a specific time. But it just throws me off.

We went outside this morning. I made phone calls while the boys ran around the secret lair. But it was FREEZING, so we came in really quickly.

We had a rainbow themed snack and then we did a few projects. Xander was initially excited for “small group time” but he wasn’t into any of the projects today, and kept asking, “what’s the next one?”

The boys played together really well today and entertained themselves for most of the day. We decorated a window for our rainbow theme. I would keep it like this forever if I could. My interior design style is “inside of a candy store chic”.

Nate got home pretty early today and I have never been more grateful. He and Xander played with legos for a long time while I prepped dinner and made a batch of macarons for an order later this week.

Christine said she’d talked to a few other moms who were struggling today, so I guess I was in good company.

Tomorrow is a new day!
