It's starting...

Tomorrow we will visit Abe’s kindergarten class for a walk-thru visit. Tomorrow night we will have soccer practice, our third practice of the season. Last night was my first church committee meeting of the year and next Tuesday will be Mike’s.

School starts Monday. Block party and soccer game on Saturday. The kids will start yoga soon on Tuesdays.  And there are a couple of other odds and ends to add to the weekend calendar this fall.

It’s starting. I’m trying not to overschedule, but stuff just adds up and September is always intense.

At the moment I’m actually looking forward to having a schedule again. I think I just need a little structure to help me get my mojo back. However, the kids are pretty quiet on the subject and I think they’re having some anxiety about the great unknown.

We’re going to head to Chicago for one last visit and lunch with Mike and then the weekend will go quickly with the block party.

I’m hoping the kids will be distracted from their worries and the regular ol’ tensions that erupt during the course of the day around here. The kids are arguing more and more lately and I’d really like to see them have some peacefulness prior to THE BIG DAY next week. We’ll see… as they grow, so do their personalities.

This will be the summer that flew by with lots of little weekend trips and camps rather than a big family vacation. The coming year will bring a lot of changes also, and not just with Abe starting school. We are contemplating a home renovation and that will throw our family a major curveball next year. 

Nothing ever stays the same, does it?
