im a morning person

...i have my kids signed up for am classes for school next year.
i didnt think teice about it.
i was an early bird, my kids will be early birds.

and then...i met a mom at gymnastics (who was hella cool) and we started to talking about school yadda yadda..she said , the pm moms are way more laid back. i was like...humm...that makes sense.

then..my good friend amanda (shes a teacher) told me she had unfortunatly gotten pm one year, but then she said it was a "blessing in disguise" because the moms were more involved. most of them were stay at home moms. they werent in a rush to get in and out. they planned field trips..crafts, funtions,. etc etc..(rock on!)

and then...i had the same conversation with another mom at the park. "less type A moms are in the pm."

ok, not that im not a type "A' person. however...im constantly battling my genetics and searching for my type "b" personality, and when it pops up, i beg it to stay! itd like to think im a good balance between a and b, and maybe some c.

in a world thats so fast paced and crazy, i think it would be nice to slow down for a bit. and let me tell you, i get sucked in. i mean..look! i didnt even give PM the blink of an eye! the craziness sneaks up eventually..might as well avoid it as long as possible.

anyhow...the thought of putting my kids in pm , which seemed like such a lazy option months ago, seems pretty cool right now.

besides, we can still do dance and gymnastics in the mornings. cuddle, take long baths, watch cartoons, take our time cooking pancakes together (it gets messy and crazy!), braid hair, get coffee, bagels, gather (and finish) homework, find missing shoes, and just downright CHILL until its time for school at 11:15 or whatever it is.

and thenthe stores are all open by then (you would be amazed at how nothing around here is open early) and i can run errands!! yay! child-free errands!! ooooooh i cant wait!!! goodness!! i just cant wait for that!
or...i could eat lunch ALONE in our awesome little flafal shop and READ A BOOK!!!! holy shit that would be amazing! and i will have time to work! on my computer ! not for 10 minutes here and there throughout the day..but for like...hours! HOURS! holy crap. then i wont have to get to work when the kids go to bed. which means...more time with my honey b!! aaahhhhh.... well...either way. i will have 2 1/2 hours ALL TO MYSELF next year, twice a week! (while avery is in preschool). cant you tell..im STOKED.

thanks for listening to me ramble. much love.

Oh no, I get you...I'm already plotting what to do with my ONE free day while Ryan is at co-op that I won't be there...it's a whopping 2 hours a week, and I'm stoked.
