First Day of School 2008

Okay, so let's be truthful. I'm not the most patient mom. In fact Kade has repeatedly told me that I am always in a bad mood or yelling. (Yikes! So obviously I have stuff to work on--don't we all?) I clearly stated to him that I only yell or get upset when they are fighting which is pretty much always lately. We have been together all summer and I think everyone's nerves are a touch shot. Anyway, to be quite honest, I was excited for school to start back up. I'm not excited for the kids to grow up--but that will happen anyway so I'm fine with them going back to school. :) The great thing is I feel that I actually have a few minutes to myself where I'm not working, sleeping or driving kids to practices and games. It's really nice! There is so much I want to get done around the house, but so far I am pretty lazy. Hopefully, I will get over that in a week or so. It's been nice to just take a nap, read a book, go to the store without the kids, or whatever! And then they come home from school and a different part of my life starts--kids, snacks, practices, homework and ballgames. I love that part of my life! It's so much fun watching my kids play ball--any kind, but especially FOOTBALL and SOCCER which makes FALL so much fun.
