I'm pretty excited for this season, and dd2 has been working a lot of "C" skills for her level 8 routines. Then, last night, dd2 said she didn't want to go to Regional Training Camp (okay), and that she's thinking maybe she should be done after all. She just doesn't like having something big to do after school every. single. day.
I'm disappointed, but then I'm relieved. For two kids, I was looking at gym, diving, band, jazz band, voice lessons, two sets of piano lessons, dance team, madrigal and all state try-outs/prep, work, and church. Umm . . . sounds like a recipe for killing off old mom, if you ask me. Dh can only do so much because his job is one of those 24/7 deals with lots of night and weekend obligations. So, except for gym drop-off, most of the stuff falls on me because I get off work at 4:30.
So, ladies and gents, I'm trying not to push dd2 one way or another, but I'd like a decision before the end of the month when team fees are due. Seem reasonable to you? And, of course, if she's done this time, there is absolutely no going back, except for a tumbling or other rec class. Again, seem reasonable to you?
Oh, and the mom of my extra passenger is probably going to pitch a major hissy if dd is done. If you've got extra some armour lying around, I could use it.
