She is a self-starter in the morning, which makes my life easier. I don\u2019t have to be in the same room with her all the time. I am not worried that she is going to injure herself by eating something she shouldn\u2019t or play with things that might hurt her. It is a funny kind of peace.<\/p>\n<p>She does have more after school activities along with lessons. This evening she has flute, Kung Fu and Girl Scouts. Takes her from 4 to 7:30 with pretty much no break. She may be adding the school play to the mix.<\/p>\n<p>Hard to believe that two weeks ago we were in London England. Feels like much longer.<\/p>\n<p>I have a couple of hours to myself before Caroline\u2019s afternoon starts up. I plan to try to get some stuff done that needs doing. <\/p>\n<p>This weekend Caroline and I will do Mother\/Daughter activities that we want to do. No big plans but lots of little projects that need to be done.
