TAXI! Did someone call for a taxi?
That would be the new service I've started now that school is back in session. Along with the school & preschool shuffle, we have dance (two days x 2 kids); soccer (1/wk. overlapping times with dance); religious education (still waiting on that schedule addition); and Brownies (so what if it's right after school, it's another pick-up time).
HOW ON EARTH do the superMoms out there do it once everyone is in activities? I know my kids are still little, but even though I'll be able to 'drop them off' at things as they get older I see MORE things being added. Remember, the little guy is still only two. I think he's a bit young to start piano or violin even though many in my local community beg to differ @@
As it stands I feel like a heathen b/c I have the kids choose two things each. I have to have SOME sanity and really want them in bed at a decent hour; not to mention, I would like a family dinner meal more days than not.
Things I will be thankful for: 1)my husband likes to cook 2)three out of four kids can buckle themselves in safely and 3)CARPOOL starts next week.

Excuse me while I go to bed. The taxi driver has to get up early.

Amen sister!!!! I told you I feel like we've been in school for weeks already instead of only five days. So far I have gotten everyone to their scheduled thing on time, but my house looks like a bomb exploded inside- or atleast a tornado swept through. And my husband is basically working two jobs- only getting paid for one- and coaching football.. Calgon (sp?)take me away!

ha, ha, ha...now you know how I felt driving the 3 big boys to 2 different high schools and 3 different jobs, after already driving them to assorted sports and clubs through elementary years.

Don't worry...it does get easier.
