September is kicking our butts!

I'm not going to lie.  This is a tired house.  We are five tired, but happy people.  I'm very grateful that my husband is enjoying coaching middle school football, and I'm grateful for the extra money it will give us.  Catherine is loving high school and marching band.  She is also planning to work back stage for the fall play and is planning to do mock trial.  So far, Robert is doing well at the career school and is very motivated.  In addition, his new job is absolutely fabulous, and I'm so grateful for the improved environment.  By the middle of next week, he will be able to resume running, although we aren't entirely certain how much success he'll have this season as a whole.  Thomas is making it through cross country, but it's not his most favorite activity.  Overall, I have to say, middle school just kind of stinks, but he is doing okay with all of the drama that tends to happen at that age.  So all-in-all, we are doing well but all of these activities are making us very tired.  I'm grateful for all of these opportunities though, and in just about five more weeks the real craziness of it all will pretty much be over!
