Back to Life. Back to Reality.

Ok, so the holidays are FINALLY over and done with. Now, back to reality. Wait! I think I would prefer the hustle and bustle of the holidays over reality.

My schedule this first week back to school, back to a semi normal schedule has been nothing but run run run! Here's the low down on my meeting schedule this week. Keep in mind all of these happen after 5:30pm in the evening so I can spend approximately 45 minutes with my family:

Monday -Girl Scout Service Unit
Tuesday - School Board District Task Force
Wednesday - rehearsal for Praise Band at church (OK, that one's not so bad)
Thursday - PTA meeting
Friday - nothing yet, but I'm sure something will pop up.

Seriously, why do we do this to ourselves??? I've said no to lots of things last year but the schedule always seems to fill up and usually all the same week, too.

Unfortunately, I know it won't get much better either. Lila will begin after school practices and activities again soon and will add more each year, I'm sure.

There may be something to be said for those individuals who had children young. It's not because they have the energy to keep up with everything. It's that they will still be young when the kids leave the nest and the schedule can be ALL theirs!

Gotta run. There's a meeting calling me! ;-)
