Manic Monday

I think I may not be the only one who feels a bit overwhelmed with all that there is going on now that school is back on.

I was really looking forward to the routine and having the kids doing something during the day, just so I didn't hear the "I'm Bored" repeated every five minutes. 

I was looking forward to being able to have some time to exercise without interruption and get some house deep cleaning done. 

I am sure that is coming but these first couple weeks of school are a drain on me. I have so many little things to take care of and I have to get use to the new routines too. Because we all know each kid has his or her own routine to work around and with, so that everyone is happy.

My calendar is so full right now with registrations and sports practices.

I will get it together and feel organized! Right??

A friend said to me that the beginning of the school year is worse than christmas on the pocket book and I have to fully agree.

School Clothes and fees and sports registration and lunch money...Am I missing anything? I guess I can just check my bank statement. 

If this post feels a little like a rant it probably is!

I have been feeling a little grumpy as of late and I think I finally found the cause, even if I still have no cure. 

You see I am changing my eating habits to facilitate the body I want to have! And it is hard for my body to adjust to the lack of sugar which is my happy, comfort drug of choice. No more cookies or chocolate or muffins or....

you get the idea. I love sweets and alway enjoy a little morsel after a meal. 

But not anymore. 

And once I adjust not only will I feel better but I will look better too. 

Because....

On a happy note Dallin started Football and loves it, which is good cause he was so scared to be hit. But just like most boys this turned out to be the fun part. 

And this week Madison starts Ballet again. And she really wants to learn piano so I am on the hunt for a piano teacher for her too. 

In the mean time a thought to ponder, which I think applies to any age your child(ren) may be.
