Geeky Summer Organization

So it's summer and I am more tired than I was a few months ago when the college semester had not ended yet! Having two hyperactive mini-geeks around all day does not help ;-/ In addition, no family around to help out makes it even harder. Thus, I have decided to get organized (actually I really have no choice) since the two mini-Chtulhus go crazy if there should be one second of tranquility in the house!

So basically I have divided the week days as follows:

-Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays we go to the gym, the kids have fun at the "kids place" (mom gets two hours to herself..YAY!) then off to the gym pool. Followed by lunch, house chores, some journal writing, reading (you never know, they might become the next Stephen King ;-)) and TV/Video games time (equals relax for mom). If there is bad weather we will make some geeky cooking creations. Then dad comes home and we go run some errands or go to the library and get some books.

Our ten year old loves these series!

Our five year old loves these!

-Tuesdays and Wednesdays are my cleaning days so I take the kids to their martial arts dojan for two consecutive classes while I get something done in the messy home that by this point resembles mostly a war zone! The afternoon is pretty much the same as the other days.

One thing is for sure: we are always looking for geeky activities to do at a low cost. For example we are planning on a trip to the science museum soon :-) Will keep you posted!
