One more day, one more day

Dilemma: My kids' grammar school ran into overtime this year, they don't finish until tomorrow. But my 5-year-old is already done and at camp already -- the girls join him after lunchtime there. My first plan was to pull my 8-year-old from school yesterday and my 10-year-old today so he'd have somebody nearby for his first time attending camp. But my 8-year-old had a stomach bug on Friday. He went alone yesterday and looked a little shellshocked by the end of the day. I went ahead and pulled my 10-year-old from school so he'd have her nearby. I probably could have pulled my other daughter yesterday, but there were things she needed to bring home before today, plus they got their yearbooks and needed to start collecting autographs. And I didn't want to switch the two days -- there was a good chance my 10-year-old would have a trip today so I didn't want her to miss it.

So tomorrow is the last day of the school/camp shuffle. Thank goodness. This morning was a little nuts -- my 8-year-old has a summer birthday, so she wanted to bring in cupcakes and today was the last day they'd be allowed since tomorrow is their pizza party.
So guess what we were doing till 10:30 last night? (Besides watching "The Bachelorette" and texting Erika about how much we loved Graham -- miss him already!)
This morning, I got one daughter to school -- skipped the dropoff today, had to park, walk a block with cupcakes then walk back -- then went back and did the top-to-bottom sunscreen on the other two. My teen wasn't supposed to work today, but the change in the weather prompted the boss to call him, so now there's another ride to figure out. But they're all where they're supposed to be now. After tomorrow, I'll be able to get three out of four to a single place. The fourth we'll have to figure out as the summer goes along and his work schedule gets set.
