Boys Will Be Boys

I’ve always thought that phrase was funny…now there’s this harsh reality about it!  We are off to a exhausting start of a new school year.  It’s a huge change for the whole house really because we have both of the boys in school and I’m trudging away at my classes too.  As usual we have the chaotic schedule.  I’m not sure what we will do when our lives aren’t a crazy scheduled mess but we are years away from that…maybe when the boys have grown up (which is definitely something I dare not think about because they’ll stay “little”, right?).

Braysen is officially a Kindergartner and is in all day!  Merrick started preschool 3′s. Tues/Thurs am’s.  I have more credit hours this semester and more work hours.  What was I thinking?  Plus, there’s running all of us to/from places and we haven’t started the extra-curricular sports stuff yet.  I’m waiting to schedule the swim lessons/karate type stuff until October so we can get our bearings with the current schedule first!

I thought it’d be funny to put a picture of our spreadsheet that I make up every semester and give to everyone involved in the chaos (in-laws, daycare, work and of course it hangs on the fridge).  We also keep a Google calendar organized with various lovely color coordinated calendars.  I’m not sure what we’d do without Google calendar!  They are blurred out a bit because I don’t think people need to exactly see what our schedule looks like ..privacy issue type of thing but you get the general idea! Chaos I tell ya!

I’m doing lots of posts right now instead of giant ones..or trying to separate out them a bit!
