I&#8217;m in the middle of three weekends in a row with the girls, thanks to them being with me for the entirety of spring break this year. I love spending time with them, but with everything on my plate at work these days (including a stack of midterms to grade), I&#8217;m having to do a lot of juggling! For instance, check out this five-day time span:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Friday &#8211; It was a half day of school for the girls, so I went into work, powered through a key meeting and teaching, then took off the rest of the day. It was great just chilling with the girls for the afternoon, but I stayed up until almost 1am catching up on work.<\/li>\n<li>Today &#8211; After a lazy morning here around the condo, I&#8217;m heading to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tedxnashville.com\/\">TEDxNashville<\/a> for a little bit this afternoon. Today&#8217;s babysitter love arts and crafts, so the girls are pretty excited. Then tonight, more late night work if I have the stamina&#8211;probably those midterms.<\/li>\n<li>Sunday &#8211; Church in the morning, then we&#8217;re heading to Target to buy bicycles for the girls. They have bikes at their mom&#8217;s house,\u00a0 but not here, and with the weather warming up, I&#8217;d like to get the girls out of the house more. I&#8217;m also hoping I might get a little jogging in when the girls are with me, thanks to these bikes. It will depend on how good Lily is on a bike, I think! Sunday night: Lesson planning for class on Monday.<\/li>\n<li>Monday &#8211; It&#8217;s spring break for the girls, but not for me. I teach at noon and have a day full of meetings. So Hannah&#8217;s going to aftercare (which turns into all-day-care on school breaks) and Lily&#8217;s going to her regular preschool.<\/li>\n<li>Tuesday &#8211; No teaching for me, so I&#8217;m taking the day off work. We haven&#8217;t gone <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geocaching.com\/\">geocaching<\/a> since last summer, so I think that&#8217;s what we&#8217;ll do on Tuesday. Last summer, Lily usually wimped out when we went off-road to find caches, but she&#8217;s pretty eager to give it another go now. Tuesday night: Lesson planning for class on Wednesday.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Such is my life for the next little while. Here&#8217;s hoping I can keep up the pace!<\/p>\n<address><em>Image: &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/35034357823@N01\/493066909\/\">Brincando com o c\u00e9u<\/a>,&#8221;<\/em> Daniel P\u00e1dua, Flickr (CC)<\/address>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March and April have turned out to be very busy around here.
