It's been a crazy week. I can't really say that it's crazier than last week, because everything is pretty much a blur at this point. It's crazier than it has been in years as we have three fall athletes and Andrew is back to coaching football.
The kids don't remember what it's like to have a dad coaching. They were so young the last year he coached. It was much worse than in some ways because we lived so far away, and it was high school which was more of a commitment. At the same time, in some ways it is worse now because each of the kids has their own lives and schedules, and I'm the only one able to get them where they need to be. It's a little exhausting on top of my own job (even a few hours means I need to get things done) and my volunteer job that requires a ridiculous amount of time...and that some feel I'll just take care of because I "have time".
The kids are so used to their dad being around at the end of each day, and they keep asking each evening where he is and what time he'll be home. It's wonderful they have that perspective, and I'm grateful for that.
We are hanging in there, and Andrew and I have both mentioned that these are first world "problems" that are really many blessings of opportunities!
