The craziness kind of snuck up on us

I know that school has been on the calendar to start next week since June...and actually it was originally supposed to begin today.  However, it was also obvious that I wasn't going to be working, and we weren't too optimistic about extra curricular activities.  It felt like school was beginning next week, but that I still had an expanse of time.

Then last week the bands decided to plow full speed ahead with one of our fundraisers, and instead of doing it in October, it's happening NOW.  All paperwork needed to be in the hands of the students by tomorrow and collected again in three weeks.  I finished last night to make that happen.  Then of course on Friday I got a phone call that offered me an opportunity for this fall.  It's official as of this afternoon, and it's full time, with a 45 minute drive each way.  The pay makes up for that though, and it's a wonderful opportunity until I can get back to subbing in school here.  Today though, I found out that instead of beginning on Monday, I actually begin Friday.  All of a sudden, tomorrow is the end of my summer!  I've spent several days running around to get things in order, but I'm ready to go.

The governor also outlined requirements for extra-curricular activities yesterday, and since it is pretty much a go with extra restrictions, Andrew is very, very busy with his supplemental.  Wowza!  On top of it, our church decided to hold an outdoor service this weekend.  It's all a little overwhelming.

I'm so grateful though.  We are still being very safe and working with our new normal, but I am grateful we won't just be sitting around.  It's exciting, even though I know I'll be exhausted!
