        <title>Can&#039;t resist! - Living My Childhood Dream - Christina&apos;s Blog - Raising Bakersfield</title>

        <description>I&#039;m not sure it&#039;s possible to add one more event to our current schedule.&amp;nbsp; Andrew is in Kindergarten 5 days a week and Kaitlynn attends preschool 2 half days a week.&amp;nbsp; We have gymnastics for her on Monday, Awanas for both kids on Wednesdays, one baseball game on a weeknight, one baseball practice on a weeknight, a baseball game every saturday, now church services on Sundays,. school events, volunteering, park playdates once a week and the occasional Mom&#039;s or Couple&#039;s Night Out.......throw in errands such as the bank, post office, grocery store&amp;nbsp;and dry cleaners, doctors appointments, cleaning the house, working out each day, phone calls and don&#039;t forget quality family time..... And it feels like there isn&#039;t a second to spare!
This is the precise reason I am looking forward to summer. No school, no weeknight church classes, no gymnastics, no baseball practices/games... no nothing. (improper English, I know).........
But that just felt too weird!
So now it&#039;s swimming lessons 2 days a week, martial arts one day a week, maybe a few summer camps, possibly VBS&amp;nbsp;and something that I haven&#039;t decided yet for my daughter. Throw in the free movies at Edwards, storytime, spray parks, playdates and the usual responsibilities..... plus a trip to Disneyland in May, San Diego in June, Crescent City in July and Pheonix in August... and where in the heck did summer go?
Wasn&#039;t it JUST starting? I feel like we always have to be on the move, and if I have just one day where we stay in the house to relax, I feel unaccomplished, irresponsible and just plain lazy.
It&#039;s a double-edged sword!</description>

                <title>May 7,  2008 at 07:05 PM : I was multitasking...</title>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;I was multitasking today.&amp;nbsp; Layton&#039;s baseball uniform was not dry yet, but we had to leave for his game.&amp;nbsp; So I was driving up the 99 toward Sam Lynn, holding his jersey out my window.&amp;nbsp; It was a perfect example of how rushed and busy we allow ourselves to become!&amp;nbsp; And it worked.&amp;nbsp; It was dry!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
