My Eyes Are Bigger Than My Schedule

I’m beginning to think I’ve bitten off more I can chew.Homeschool is just around the corner, albeit our corner is at least two weeks away. But the activities seem to be starting up. Homeschool PE, Flag football, Musical Theatre, dance, gymnastics, swimming! Thank goodness Timmy (6) told me early this summer. “Mom, don’t sign me up for anything without asking me.”

Well, I’ve asked and he’s said “no” to everything except the one thing I haven’t checked into…soccer.

Our schedule is alreay jam packed. Whoever said homeschoolers aren’t socialized really didn’t know what they were talking about. My kids are too socialized! And I’m sure it’s my fault for wanting them to try and do everything. Good thing, they’re not interested in every thing.

Here’s a glimpse into our crazy schedule this fall.

Mondays: PE for the boys, musical theatre for Joey
Tuesday: Homeschool class for Chris and Joey, Preschool and swimming for Grace, Musical theatre for Chris.
Wednesday: Tap and Ballet for Grace, church at night
Thursday: PE for the boys, preschool for Grace, flag football for Chris
Friday: Homeschool co-op for us all.

Then there’s Joey’s gymnastics that I haven’t been scheduleted in yet. And I should probably sign Joey up for piano. I decided against lessons for Chris because all he does is complain about lessons. I’m just going to let Joey “teach” Chris at home.

The best thing about the schedule is that for the evening activities I get to go to the gym and work out. Since I’ve started homeschooling, my exercise schedule has suffered. I’m determined to make exercise a priority this year!

My schedule is really more busy for me than the kids. So what do you think? Do you think I’ll have anytime for blogging?

How about you? What does your schedule look like?
