Will I ever have a free moment again???

Things have changed in our house! Big time! Most of the changes have been great and exciting, but I would be lying if I didn't admit they have been HARD!

My goodness ... who knew 5:30 came two times a day???? There is actually one that happens early, early, early and I'm not all that excited about making friends with it. Right now, actually, we are not getting along.

Since I posted last, school has started for us. I was ready to get to the first day because leaving my kids with a sitter each morning while I went to work was really hard for me. And, my days were LONG and wearing me out. So, when Thursday came, backpacks were packed, uniforms pressed and we were all excited to be together.

I cannot express how much easier it was to send O off for her first day of Transitional Kindergarten knowing I would be right next door to her in the Preschool room. God has been so sweet to provide this structure for my family and I am truly blessed.

Ofcourse, I don't see her much during the day, but I do get to meet up with her at recess and let me tell you, she is having a blast. All smiles. She is so in love with her school which makes things easier as well.

E has been a little bummed out since her very best friend is in a different class this year. The necklace you see is one her BFF gave her on the first day of school. It's half of a crown and her friend wears the other half. Oh.the.drama if we forget to put this on right away each morning!

I'm starting to get the hang of things and forcing myself to stay organized so I don't go completely insane. Assisting in Preschool is very different from working in a credit union (my previous job before becoming a stay-at-home Mom). Who knew?

One last thing ... I mentioned I had fallen more in love with my girls' school over the past weeks and it's true. I don't think the parents fully understand what goes on behind the scenes. Atleast I didn't. Two days before school started, the entire staff was called together to pray OUT LOUD and individually for every single student attending this year. Every.single.student. by name. I was moved to tears as I heard these people call out to the Lord on behalf of not only my own children, but approx. 360 others. Unbelievable.

I am so grateful and humbled that God would allow my family to attend such a sweet school. Seeing the other side, I don't believe I will take it for granted this year.

Oh friend...praying that soon, you'll be able to accept that 5:30 happens twice a day! Not fun...but reality! lol

You and the girls looks SO adorable, and I am in awe of God's love, and faithfulness to provide you with a job that helps with your new now.

Know that I'm praying for you as you settle into your new routine....because I know how tough it can be..to get EVERYTHING to fit in.

We still have 15 days till our youngest (Andrew) begins his Senior year. I'm diggin' my heels in..but some how, it's not stopping time. lol

Blessings to you and your precious sweet family!

How cute are they?!?!?! I SO know what you mean about 5:30 - it definitely takes some getting used to. I shed a little tear every Sunday night when I have to turn my alarm clock on for the next morning :(

I'm so thankful to hear that overall things have been going well and that the Lord is blessing this new routine you have.

Hope this week is wonderful!
