Just posting a "woe is me" post. My almost-6 yo DD's coach moved her up one level at the start of the summer. Yay, right? She's improving. Coach made it a point to say DD has lots of promise. The problem? The class, which is twice a week for 1.5 hours each, starts at 4 pm. How am I supposed to get DD to class? DH and I both work full-time and we have no other means of reliable transportation to and from the gym.
So what did I do today? Sneaky me took off from work early and sat for the very first time in the bleachers with the other moms in DD's class. Made it a point to be friendly, learned everybody's names, found out where everybody lives, in the hopes that I can ask one of them to carpool. And it looks bleak. Everyone has multiple kids and I hate to ask them to transport DD when they're already lugging around 2nd and/or 3rd child with them. Plus no one lives within a mile of us! Everyone would have to really go out of their way to pick up DD!
Sigh...what to do, what to do? Any other ideas? If only gymnastics gyms offered bus transportation from elementary schools like martial arts places do! :-(
