School is in session......

It is the 2nd week of school at our house and we are getting in a routine. Our routine consists of: rush in the mornings to eat breakfast, rush to get ready, rush to school and rush in the traffic around school which consists of something like Nascar pit stops........then be glad to get work to sit down and work 8 hours......then rush to school to pick up, rush home and clean out backpacks, get homework, cook and eat supper, baths and bedtime........then the "mom" falls in bed exhausted to attempt to recharge for the next day. I totally understand why my mother used to be so ill in the afternoons when we would get home from school and work. I am hoping that it gets better as time goes on and the routine smooths out.
