We are in a tired and tough season of life right now. I think we get this way pretty much every early October. It doesn't help that the days get shorter, but it's just a little tough. I know no one cares, but here is a run-down of our week...
Yesterday all four of us came to school together. Right after school Thomas and I ran an errand, and Andrew went to football practice. Early evening, right after Andrew arrived home, I dropped Catherine and Thomas off at band practice and then went to do my weekly grocery shopping. I came to work on band reports and Andrew was grading. I picked the kids up from band and returned to continue to band work. Thomas had a lot of homework and had to stay up working on that.
Today we are all again at school together. The kids have a meeting right after school, and I have some band errands to run. Andrew will have football practice, and then needs to head back to the high school for an assistant a/d responsibility. The kids have the swim pre-season meeting this evening, and I will have to miss a meeting in order to transport.
Tomorrow we are all going to be at school again. Andrew has an away football game so it is going to be pretty late before he gets home. Catherine begins her new job tomorrow afternoon, and I am hoping I am able to get some church work accomplished. I have a band meeting tomorrow evening.
On Thursday we will all return to school yet again. Andrew will again have football practice, and then needs to get back to the high school for another assistant a/d function. The kids have band practice, and I am cautiously optimistic Andrew might be able to bring them home so that I don't have to get them.
Friday we get to sleep in since there is no school! We do, however, have a morning legal appointment in my hometown so we'll still have to get up and moving. I also need to get some band things done, and that evening is a home football game. It is senior night, so I have responsibilities as well. The kids will march and do their show, and Andrew will help keep stats.
Saturday Andrew has to work at the league cross country meet, and I am hoping to attend as well. Catherine will work in the afternoon, but then I plan a blissful evening of nothing!
On Sunday, I am both the nursery volunteer during church, and the Sunday School volunteer after. Catherine will work in the afternoon again, and the kids have youth group that evening...and then we get to start all over again.
All of this though, pretty much pales in comparison to the swim schedule I just saw. Those practices are starting even earlier this year, and because marching band's season is one week longer, there are two full weeks of overlap. UGH!!!!!!!!
