Day 1698. On Tuesday the kids have no classes, and then my student canceled the scheduled two hours, so that I was able to do office work all afternoon, while Randy was downstairs with the kids.

On Wednesday I got Tammy and Emmy ready for their exercise class that I was taking them to. Normally Sammy and I stay home, but Sammy had a physiotherapy appointment later that Randy was taking him to. And so Sammy was crying hard, while we were getting ready to leave. He didn't want me to go, but I had no choice. I felt bad for him. Randy held him and tried to comfort him after we left. They still had an hour at home before leaving themselves at 4:15 pm. Sammy then had his private physiotherapy session at 5 pm and had lots of fun.

I left with Tammy and Emmy in time to make the 3:32 pm train, which we did. It was pretty cold, like it's been all week since Tuesday. After we got off the train, we still had to walk to the school, where their class was taking place. We barely made it in time, as the class starts at 3:50 pm. I stayed in the locker room during the class, waiting for it to be over. Ever so often they came out of the gym to get a sip to drink.

At 4:45 pm the class ended. They got their stickers and put their clothes back on. We were in no rush, as the next train was only at 5:23 pm. We left and walked to the train station, stopping at the grocery store on the way. Then we took the train and got home just before I had to start teaching at 5:40 pm. I quickly turned my computer on for my lesson, while the kids got their tablets.

I finished at 6:20 pm and went to the kitchen to make their dinner. I was surprised Randy and Sammy weren't back yet, but they arrived a few minutes later at 6:30 pm. Sammy was his happy self again.

On Thursday I had a student in the morning and then one at 2:30 pm. Then I got Tammy and Emmy ready for their dance class. Sammy wanted to go as well, but I told him that the two of us were staying home. At first he wasn't very happy, but then he was having fun with me. He keeps me busy, when it's just the two of us, which is why I can't teach and have a hard time getting anything done. Tammy and Emmy had a fun time at their class, learning the choreography of the dance they're going to perform in June. They returned home rather late just before 6:30 pm.

This morning I had an early student, so I had to set my alarm. I get up really early every day anyway to dress the kids and get them ready for kindergarten. Emmy is also still doing his footbath as his toe is still not getting any better. When I can, I lay back down in bed. Today I could only do so for a short time.

After my lesson, I did office work. Randy brings Sammy home from kindergarten at 12:40 pm, and then we have 90 minutes at home together before Rarndy brings the other two home. And Sammy keeps me busy, while I'm just really tired at siesta time. When Randy came home at 2:15 pm, he had lunch, then he took all the kids downstairs to play, as there were no classes this afternoon. I then taught from 3 to 6 pm, and my first two hours were pretty tough, as I had a teenage student who did not want to work. I was glad, when I was done for the day.
