As I wrote earlier today, it's been a rainy, cozy kind of stay inside day. The homeschool Easter egg hunt park-day was rained out and I was enjoying reading and relaxing on the couch. The only problem was that Aimee was supposed to be at gymnastics from 4:30 to 7:30.
The gym is a good two hour drive away on a rainy Friday. It's about forty miles away from our house, but Fridays are always bad traffic days and when it rains, forget it. So I called Aimee to come upstairs so she can start getting ready for gym at about 2:00 pm. Here's the dialogue:
Me: "How would you like to skip gym tonight and go see a movie?"
Aimee: "Really?" ...long pause as she thinks about this "Can't we go tomorrow after gym?"
Me: "Sure"
She loves gymnastics so much that she'd rather sit in the car for two hours in the freeway in the rain, go work out hard for four hours and then drive back home in the rain, get home at 9:30 or so, and get up in the morning to be back there at 10:30 in the morning.
She's committed.

My mind boggles at your gymnastics commitment down there! I'm glad Aimee is enjoying it -- but I think YOU will soon need a vacation...
