Girls, Girls, Girls…

A house full of little girls–my girls are enjoying every moment.

Swimming was a bit of a fiasco. Showed up 1/2 hour late and Nem and Tabs missed their’s. Artemi loved her lesson but the Pip got hysterical, crying because she didn’t like “the splashing.” Mist was too good a swimmer for her level but all upper levels are filled–what to do? I blame the Parkinson Rec Center. They refuse to acknowledge that your kid is ready for several levels ahead, just to make money, making sure you do each level in order. So Mist is too good a swimmer for her class yet this summer lessons are filled–again swimming lessons are bust!
I am getting quite PO’d about all of it! Every year it seems they lead me astray and my kids somehow are duped out of the level they really need. As you can tell I was very upset at the rec-centre by this, but I deserve the “Dalai Lama” award for calmness as no one was yelled at.
Peter is at an all day retreat at work. 
Miranda and I are having a girl’s night out: supper and a movie. Mist and her friend Marley will watch all the younger ones as they rent movies and have a pizza party. Peter will be home by eight so Mist only has to baby sit an hour or so.
Five (seven today) little girls keep me in summer vacation mode: no work.
I did manage a run this am with Miranda.
Writing this during a brief “QMJ time” in my bedroom, on my bed, windows open and the sounds of summer filling my room. Also the sound of Pip calling from the toilet–gotta go.

    I was very experience dealing with 4 girls under 8. It sure does take all your energy!
