School Starts Wednesday

School starts for my older 4 kids on Wednesday. I have mixed feelings about this. A lot of people have asked if I am counting down the days. Actually, I'm not. My older 4 are very helpful with the little boys and the household chores. With Kenny's new job he works 4:00 p.m.-12:00a.m. So with school in session he does not see them at all 3 days out of the week and he is not there to help me in the evening. He also has been working a lot of overtime and has not been feeling good, so most days it is up to me to handle everything. I am not looking forward to homework and getting up early. And hopefully I do okay with the little guys during the day. I have not had to do any errands with both of them all summer. I have also decided to have the kids start some activities. Lucas has been doing swim lessons and he will start pre-school in September. The girls will be involved in the Museum Youth Club at the County museum. Myranda did that last year and it was a good program. Nathan will be starting basketball at the YMCA if I remember to sign him tomorrow when I'm there for Lucas and Susie's swim lessons. Myranda will be starting piano lessons again on Monday. (Myranda's previous piano teacher stopped teaching right before I had Lucas. I thought I would just take a little break and then find her a new teacher. Well the break has been 2 and a half years. It's about time because she really has talent.) I'm not sure if Matthew will be doing anything. He just finished a month of swimming. I was complaining yesterday about all that will be going on. I was thinking about not letting the girls do the Museum club, but then I decided that I can just suck it up and run myself ragged for 5 more years or maybe only about 3(I may have 2 drivers by then:). Wish us luck as we dive into a new and busy school year.
