A little less structure

Abby has decided to not sign up for swimming the second half of the year. At first I was a little bummed. I think she could be good, and selfishly it was nice when Dave was home and I had that whole hour to either work out, shop or just hang around. And then reality came through. I don't have to haul four kids to the Y, three days a week, past bedtimes, in the snow. (Although, sometimes it is nice just to have somewhere to go on those long, cold, snowy days when Dave is traveling!)

When I asked Abby why she didn't want to swim anymore, she simply said, "I just want more time at home." Fair enough. I think that's the same reason I quit work. :)
