So much for my big idea

Now what?
So after writing my last blog about wanting my son to take up karate again - and completely unprompted by me I swear! - my son announced in the car the other night: “Mom, I think I want to do karate.”
It was after his last swim lesson for the session. He must have made some type of connection because he gave that as his reason a few moments later.
Then his little sister chimed up that she wanted to do the same.
Funny, because now I’m having second thoughts!
This week, we had gymnastics one night and two nights of make-up swimming lessons. The one last night was cancelled at the last moment by the pool facility and I have to admit - I was relieved.
Exhausted from work, I was ready for the prospect of just picking up the kids from camp and going home. There, my daughter and I plopped in front of the TV to watch a Disney DVD while my son and his dad played on the computer.
I know, so much for unplugging the kids.
But I just did not have the energy to take them anywhere (other than picking up Subway for dinner).
So now what? I don’t know. I looked at the karate schedule and my daughter is too young for the class at the gym where we take gymnastics and she is too young for the parks and recreation class.
That means we could go back to the karate school we were at in May - but the kids still would be in different classes, on different days of the week.
And really, that’s what I’m trying to avoid.

    I took Karate for years (and even taught once I was old enough to work) depending on the side of town you live, I could recommend some great places that may have more flexibility with schedules and times of classes (so that at least they are on the same day of the week). Feel free to email me if you want and I’d be happy to help out any way I can!
