Ahh, Back to School, Back to Structure

I can't believe it's here already. By the end of a school year, I totally ready, and in dire need of a break from school, homework, etc. By the end of the summer, I am ready, and in dire need of the structure of it all back. By now, my summer resolutions have all fallen to crap, (having a baby, and remodeling the kitchen had a hand in that) and I like the new start.

Structure is good. It's good to have the work that school is to do. Good to have everybody up, groomed, dressed and fed by 7:30. (I'm listening to Liszt on my play list right now. Totally dig it! Sorry if my play list annoys anybody out there, but I like it. And if anyone is curious about my crush, Michael Ball - he's on here - Empty Chairs. Give him a listen.) ANYWAY (It just switched to White and Nerdy, what a contrast!) ANYWAY ...

I got up at 5:00, fed the baby, went running, showered, got the kids going on getting ready for school and doing their pre-school chores -love it-, made breakfast, packed lunches, took the boys (including Dax and Blaine, my before and after school extras) to school. Bruce took Lydia to her school. Now I just need to pry my bottom off of this chair and get some work done. I'm going to call my piano teacher and tell him that I'm ready to come back for lessons again. I just need to figure out what to do with my children while I'm there.

I love structure. Back to cooking dinner at 10:30 am (actually cooking real meals). Love my crock-pot, love cooking breakfast. What a weirdo. I just love having things to do that make me feel like I'm accomplishing things. By May, I'll hate it again, and I'll need a big break. Really, I'll be ready by Christmas break, or Thanksgiving. But today, I'm loving it.
