I feel like life has changed so much the past few weeks. We did decide to enroll Brendan in school. we were hoping to wait a while but he was being increasingly difficult regarding his schoolwork and he asked if he could go now. He seems so, so happy about his choice. I have mixed feelings. I believe homeschooling is best and I feel very guilty for not making it work. But it just didnt seem fair to keep him in a home full of toddlers all day. The first day I took him to school I came home and started to pack away our homeschool materials and thats when the tears started!
B going to school has really changed our day. It has helped me be more disciplined about getting up, dressed, room cleaned, breakfast prepped, & laundry started before the kids wake up. I also have much more time for the little ones & I am hoping this helps their behavior some. I have a huge chunk of time (naptime) to clean up or rest and then we go pick him up. The structure so far is nice; I was feeling like a slacker before. But I do miss him a lot. And right now I should be playing with the kids but I am hiding out on the computer.
The pregnancy is going well, I am starting to feel a little better but I am still pretty tired.

Amy, I can't believe you do all that before your kids get up. What time do you wake up? Do you set an alarm? So what kind of school is Brendan in? Do you think this is going to be a permanent thing?
I get up between 6:30 & 7. Sometimes Nathan is already up with Shane but usually not- I dont set an alarm but Shane is up so that wakes me up. Its a regular public school and I am not loving it at all! He thinks it is the most fun thing ever though!
I am in awe of you... I am lucky if I get done all day what you get done before your children are even up...
YOU ARE MY HERO!!!
