So how's it going?

I'll start by saying that I love my new schedule! It's been a little all over the place these first few weeks, and I've had to switch my day off a couple of times to accommodate meetings, but whatever. I have time to breathe! Time to walk Molly to school. Time to pay bills, clean up the house, and put away the laundry. Time to have an impromptu coffee with a friend.

I feel happier, and less rushed, and I'm loving the extra time with Molly. Though today, I must admit, I sent her to aftercare anyway and treated myself to 9 holes of golf. The weather was just TOO good.

Starting to look more consistent! My best 9 yet. No disaster holes at least.

Molly is also doing really well in second grade. At least I think so ... I'm not getting as much info out of her as I did last year! She's starting to answer my questions with, "Uh, Mom, you know." No Molls, I don't know! That's why I'm asking :) 

She always looks happy when I pick her up though, which is a good sign. I thought having her in 2 different aftercare programs would be complicated, but she seems to be taking it all in stride and always knows where she needs to go.

Molly has also added a new set of friends to her rotation -- 3 really nice girls who love to pretend they are snow leopards (oh, to be a second grader!). That seems to have eased some of the tension with her other friendships. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we will get a break from friend drama for the year!!

Molly at our block party ... she asked to have her face painted like the Target dog, but I think she kind of looks like a member of KISS :)
