Soccer for 5 is starting. Last night was the first practice for Lily.... add that to piano lessons, cello lessons, robotics club, tennis, and gymnastics. I am very careful what I put my children in, because I want dinner together as a family. But just have so many children has made our lives and afternoons very busy. I do want them anxiously engaged. Lily has decided to to continue teaching her summer piano lessons, so our house is full of piano students in the afternoons and it is good for her to save some money for college.
It is interesting though because when they all left for school last week, the emotion that I felt was Loneliness just with 1 potty training toddler who likes to play on her own. I have been finding things to fill my morning with (not too much because my afternoon is chaos), but I took an nice woman with one leg to the doctor today, and reached out to some friends for playdates for Charli, and cleaned my house, my swimming in the morning with Charli a priority. School starts for me in a couple days too.
My 40th birthday is just a few weeks away, I have been reflecting a lot on what I have accomplished in the last 40 years and IF I have accomplished what I wanted to. I have been really thinking about areas I feel great and areas I want to improve. It sounds silly, but I feel like 40 is the gateway to the rest of my life, what do I want to do or rather who do I want to become?
We had another great boating Saturday. And a great date for Waygu burgers after that at Burgerfi. It is pretty delicious.
