Change
Today is Mac's last day as a 4th grader. That means one more year of elementary school. We're quickly treading into muddy waters here. I remember myself at this age. Ugh... We're also going to take him out of day care over the summer. $85 a week saved. T and I had disagreements about summer day care anyway...I felt that he only needed to be there as long as we weren't home, T wanted him to stay there long enough to make it worth the money. Heh.
So taking him out over the summer means we lose his place for after-school care once he goes back in the fall. We're looking into the after-care program at his school now, which is about $20/week cheaper, not to mention the lack of extra charge for days that school is out. So...there you go. It makes me very antsy. It's not that I don't like change...it just makes me really uncomfortable. He's been at his current after-school/day care since he was in Kindergarden. He's never had a discipline problem and all the teachers there think he's the bomb. Sigh. It's all for the best. I know that. Gonna save an ass-load of money. I still feel like I'm breaking up with someone.
On another note, we're looking into summer camps for him. I guess we're going to just put the money elsewhere. Heh. Anyway, T found a golf program for kids that I think we'll do...it's 6 2-hour sessions spread over the summer on Saturdays. I spoke with my sis and she's looking into it for Bella, as well. Cam's dying to fish again, so I guess we're going to have a pretty busy summer. I just hope that I feel better about the whole day care thing by the time summer is over.
