After a summer spent doing pretty much what we darn well pleased, I openly admit that I have not yet found my groove in dealing with a schedule that includes:
· football practice for 2 kids (1 2ce a week, 1 3x a week),
· soccer practice for my other son,
· piano practice for all 3 boys, on 3 different days, at 3 different times,
· soccer and football games, all on Saturdays, at overlapping times in different places,
· PTO volunteering,
· classroom volunteering,
· lunchroom volunteering,

I'm so with you on this one! I just spent the last hour and a half entering all the dates and schedules that I got a school and soccer practice into the calendar along with other dates of relevant events that I've gotten recently. Looks like we may have some free time at the end of January! UGH! 2 girls, school, soccer, 2x kindermusik, gymnastics, children's choir, mops, ptc, classroom volunteering, etc…
Last week I was lounging at the pool and on the bow of our boat. This week hit me like a brick wall.
Good luck to you – if you have any great tips for how to keep up with it all and still find time to make & eat dinner please let me know!
I was just commenting to my husband that there is something on the calendar every day next week. So it starts…
