I can't believe September is almost over and that we're heading into the holiday season. I was hoping to have more time to write, clean up my house, and do all the stuff I couldn't manage to find time to do as a homeschooling mom last year; but no such luck. Each day brings more and more things added to the schedule : good things such as having coffee with a wide variety of friends who share having kids in school in common, and not so good things like having to drop everything and head downtown to pick up a sickly kid at school, well not sickly but cyclical if you know what I mean; and then drive her back to school several hours later for a freshman class (all girl school) sleepover. I feel like I'm doing less and still feeling more exhausted at the end of the day. I also often feel like everyone else must have figured out a way to have more hours in their days because I just can't seem to get enough done. I don't sit around, am on the go pretty much constantly, and maybe that's the point. Maybe I'm on the go going to too many coffee dates, serving volunteer hours, carting the family all over creation, etc., etc, and that's why I'm not getting enough done at home. Time to find that proverbial balance.
Our local Buddy Walk was yesterday, Sunday the 26th. I used to help out with the planning and working the registration table for the event, but no longer. It's run by a great group of people but I ended up with too much else going on right around this time of year. It is so great to see lots of families with kids like Miss Marisa, but also to see all the people who come out in support of the kids like Marisa. Buddy Walks around the country are yet another thing that gives me hope for the future. Now if I could only find hope in myself to finally clean up the dining room, formerly known as "homeschool central."
Oh well, tomorrow is another day!
