Checklists-Schedules-Organized Chaos-Oh MY!

...And then all of the sudden, the summer was GONE.

Enroll 2 in elementary school.
Enroll 1 in first year of Middle school.
Enroll 1 in college sciences and algebra.
Piano lessons for three.
Band for two.
Gymnastics-Musical Theater-Football.
Don't forget Boys Scouts/Young Men's/Mutual.
And Activity Days....

All recently were added to my "to do" list...

...to broaden our horizons and enlarge our minds. Really?

Must. Not. Over-schedule.

A stack of brand-new spiral notebooks for 10 cents a piece just out-ranked my snazzy Franklin-Covey-leather-bound organizer. EVERYTHING goes in the NOTEBOOK. They will be labeled, "Thing 1", "Thing 2", etc....one will be close at hand at all times.

Gonna be a busy semester...busy with trying to MAINTAIN BALANCE. I'll keep ya posted....

The more the merrier!

The line up...
3 nieces
1 nephew
2 friends
my own 4 children...

A day of abandoned responsibilities=mandatory FUN!

When You're Having Fun...

...I have to hurry and sneak this in before the date of my last post turns into ONE YEAR...

You know what they say about how time flies...especially when you're having fun...

To the doubting among you, I WILL return to blogging.

Soon.

Like NOW, see?
