How we plan to survive this summer

I'm sure this is probably normal for plenty of families. Right? At least, for families in which one parent works full-time and one who works part-time at home. Here's the current summer schedule for the kids.

June:

• One week at home (Monday-Wednesday) with a young babysitter from down the block.
• Thursdays with Oma.
• Two weeks at a park district camp near us, but not our actual resident one (which we didn't like last summer). This includes four visits to pools in neighboring suburbs.
• Two sessions weekly with a tutor for Nea, working on literacy and math.
• One session weekly with our private speech and language pathologist.
• Fridays, hang out with me.

July:

• One week at home (Monday-Wednesday) with a young babysitter from down the block.
• One week full-time at a YMCA. This includes at least one pool visit. I won a buy-one-week-get-one-free deal, so this is a good price.
• One week full-time at Camp Invention, a science camp the girls attended last year, too.
• Thursdays with Oma. Except when she is at knitting camp.
• Two sessions weekly with a tutor for Nea, working on literacy and math.
• One session weekly with our private speech and language pathologist.
• As time allows, Nea will go to Extended School Year classes, which are a joke, but she gets an additional 45 minutes of speech weekly there. Assuming they can work with our schedule. Right now I think she'll go 12 days out of a possible 20.
• Fridays, hang out with me.

August:

• I'm taking some time off, which I'll need after trying to figure out who I'm driving where in July.
• One week at home (Monday-Wednesday) with a young babysitter from down the block.
• Possibly some gymnastics camp and swim lessons.
• Thursdays with Oma, plus a couple extra days just before school starts.
• Two sessions weekly with a tutor for Nea, working on literacy and math.
• One session weekly with our private speech and language pathologist.
• Fridays, hang out with me.

I hope someday this will just be some confusing weird memory of how ridiculous our summers used to be.
