decisions to make

The weeks are so busy, we have yet to shake off the daze of winters deep hibernation, Sierra has so much excess energy, she is literally bursting at the seams to get outside and run freely. whenever we walk in our driveway, to the car, she runs loops around it, she reminds me of a greyhound kept too long in a crate. I must try to get her out more on the weekends, at least she is busy during the week with pre-school, but oh, this child of mine likes to run and play. she has been driving me crazy with her scootering back and forth inside the house, zooming around at dangerous speeds and hairpin turns. hence, I am considering a Y membership, to have a place to take her on weekends, to help her with all of this excess pent up energy. Just nervous to take on another expense, but excited about the opportunities for enrichment that it could bring sierra.

Which brings me to my next big concern, trying to get Sierra into a better school, than the one we are zoned into. I feel so small, up against the system, and unsure of the best way to navigate her educational future. Move ? Attempt to get her a scholarship to a Catholic School? Send her to a charter school, that is very new, and thus may still have some kinks to work out, or the crunchy alternative school with less than 40 kids, and no grades and the curriculum is all child directed.so many challenging decisions and she is just turning 5.

but oh, the joy she brings to me. no words. for how much. I love this girl.
