I really thought this time of year

would be easier!! Kids are back to school, I have the house to myself, a little break before the holidays start up... Why am I busier than normal? Maybe because I've started a few around the house projects? (Okay and my kids really don't go 'back to school' - they're homeschooled but that keeps them a little more occupied than over the summer!)
So, are you getting a 'breather' or is life more hectic for you too?


Hi Wendy! Thanks for popping in!!!!
"Why am I busier than normal?"
I find myself wondering that everyday! LOL
It seems like during the summer when we didn't have to worry about "doing school" every day, it was so easy to say "go play outside" lol. Now I'm so busy getting school lessons together, grading assignments, planning Girl Scout meetings, chauffering kids to soccer practice, and gearing up for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
It's so hard to remember to do something for myself everyday... thank heavens for this board and the sanity it brings lol. Of course those candle-lit hot baths at night after the kids are in bed really help too ;o)
What kind of projects are you busy with? are you remodeling?
Thanks for commiserating with me girls! :) If I can only get my 2nd grader to work on his work, I think I'll have this thing down! :)
Mom came up to visit in Sept and left me with a bunch of projects. The biggest one I just finished - painting the dining room furniture. I painted it blue and green, painting the legs of chairs different colors, doors different colors, just changing everything. It's a little 'out there' but I like it. :) Now just to paint the upstairs hallway and the kitchen and I'll be happy!
Thanks!
