When my kids were little I watched this TV program about "over scheduled" kids and thought "that will NEVER be my kids!!" Well, little by little I (not sure about my kids) have become OVER SCHEDULED!! I have decided, when everything is over in the next month or two, we are going to have to cut down the amount of extra curricular activities the kids do AND the amount of volunteering I do. Here' what is making me so crazy:
Jordan has...piano, volleyball and jazz.
Kya has...gymnastics, softball and jazz.
Tyson has...tee ball and coach (after school sports class).
I have...Primary, Softball (team mom), 3 classrooms, not to mention driving around, taking care of the kids, and cleaning my house!!
When I break it down, it doesn't look so bad...but it is. Time management is tricky as well as keeping our bank account out of the red! So, come summer we have NOTHING!! I can't wait. AND come fall, I think we'll take it down to 2 things per kid. The hard part is giving something up. I want my kids to get a taste of everything, so they can find what they enjoy and what they are good at. I guess we'll just have to experience things 2 at a time:)
Sorry no pictures...our computer is having issues!!
