It's summer

I could honestly cry from the relief I feel.

I have spent the last 5 months with 3 different kids in 3 different schools with 3 different schedules, and two littles at home.
It was what the Lord had for us, for that season - and thankfully it wasn't a long season.
I knew getting into it that it would push me to my limits, and BOY was I pushed!

*My two bonus babies came to our house by 7:30 each morning (they are a 6yo girl and her 3yo brother)
*All kids had to be loaded and ready to roll because Jeshua had to be at his private school by 8
*Israel's public school started at 8:30
*"A's" afternoon kinder began at 12:25
*Littles rushed to nap because
*Jesh was to be picked up at 2:45
*Israel comes home on bus at 3:30
*We'd go to pick up A from her auntie's at 3:45ish
*Bonus babies picked up around 6
*Dinner (occasionally)
*Bedtime for my sweeties at 7:30

Well, that was besides Wednesdays, when my public schoolers began at 9:30 and 12:45 respectively, leading to a leave-the-house-every-two-hours schedule and a forget-naps-there-ain't-no-time afternoon.
Oh, and Fridays Evy and I volunteered at both boys schools, and then picked up our bonus babies at lunchtime.

Oh. My. Goodness! Writing this out, I see what a psycho American mom I must have looked like!!!

Funny thing is, I am so incredibly NOT like that. I could only do it because I knew it was temporary. I blatantly REFUSE to schedule our lives into a semi-regular panic mode...it just happened.

And it was good - on SO many levels, for SO many reasons.

But man, am I glad it's over!

I'm spending the rest of the night looking over homeschool curriculum for Jeshua and Evy next year.
Ah, sweet bliss!
