If you've talked to me in the last month or so, you know that I was very excited for school to start. As it was (notice the past tense), I would have about six hours each week to myself, completely kid-free. I was really looking forward to getting back to the gym, getting the house organized and just having a mental break. And then school actually started. This morning I walked into The Girl's preschool room and it was complete chaos. Twenty-four three year-olds in one room, of course there is chaos! And then I noticed the roster for the afternoon class...a total of nine kids. I know that Nini can handle herself in a large crowd; she has a strong personality and would succeed in the morning class, but she's three. I want her to have enough teacher attention and not feel lost in the crowd.

So why is changing classes a big deal? In switching from the morning to the afternoon class, I lose the little kid-free time I was going to have. I now have zero time alone, unless you count the drive from The Girl's school to The Boy's school as alone time. I made a list of pros and cons, and everything about the change is a pro, with benefits to both kids. The only con was the loss of my free time. Sucks =/
