Just checking in

[Guest guest]

Hi guys! I'm just checking in.

Remember I told you all guys that I will not let myself go crazy this summer running around with my kids between swim team and karate and giving them all the fun they can have. Well, I am keeping my word so far. Even my oldest, Sebastian noticed that I haven't yelled at them, and it's two weeks now since they are off from school. So I'm doing good. On top of swim team, my boys decided to join the dive team. It is free of charge for the members of the club, so why not, I'm not paying extra money for it and the kids are learning and having fun.

Arek is the smallest and the youngest on the pre-team. He has practice once a week only, in comparison to 4 times a week for Sebastian and Kasper. He can hardly stand in the shallowest part of the pool, but has been going with a kick board off at the deep end and swimming half the lap. The kids who are a bit older than him are doing a bit more, but he loves it, loves the fact that he is a part of a team and that he is getting a swim suit. Otherwise he is in the kiddy pool, enjoying himself making believe he can swim and playing.

Even without going nuts, I am really tired, especially since I have a UTI right now. Just started the antibiotic, but not my usual stuff as my insurance stopped covering CIPRO and it's expensive.

Anyway, one of the sacrifices I have made in order not to drive myself crazy is you guys. I'm sorry, but I just can't do it all. I still check messages, and I try to write some answers if I have anything to say, but please bear with me. I promise I will be a better companion when school starts again.

Oh, did I tell you? Everything is set for Sebastian to leave, I went to pull out his passport and it's not valid anymore. We had to rush to the passport office yesterday and do an expedite service. We should get it within two weeks (or so they say).

Anyway, I am thinking about you, all the time and just wanted to let you guys know how I am doing. Welcome to all newbies, happy birthdays to any I'm missing, same with anniversaries.
