Back to School schedule....any ideas or advice??

[wfhmomof2]

My oldest will be in 1st grade this year and we are debating putting my youngest in K4 at a local church day care.  I work from home so my schedule is always kind of crazy and I kind of hope maybe by her being in K4 it will give her something to do and keep her out of trouble at home some....lol  On the other hand though I work from home so I don't feel that I should put her in K4 at a daycare because after all what am I home for???  So, as you can see I have a bit of a conflict of emotions going on here and dh says he does not know what to do either and since I am the one most effected here that it is up to me and he will support whichever decision I make.  THAT REALLY HELPED!  So now I have to decide what to do......

In my decission making process I like to write everything out and this is what I have figured out will change if I do put her in K4....

I will be traveling a total of 77 miles a day just in drop off and pick ups for schools.  If I don't put her in then I will be traveling 40 miles a day in drop off and pick ups.  I have not even figured up travel to dance and gymnastics, and not so sure that I want to at this point...lol

This would be my schedule if I put her in............
