Is it Summer yet?!?

I know, I know....the school year has barely got started but I am ready for some holidays!  I actually thought last year was busy, and it was!  But, what does that make this year?!?  I feel like my life is travelling at hyper-speed and I'm barely hanging on.  I honestly don't know how I've made it this far!  The grace of GOD, would be my guess!      Why am I so busy??  I'm glad you asked but you might be sorry after you hear my answer!  Belle is going to the Christian school full-time.  So, there is chauffering to do there, and school activities.  Hunter started part-time for kindergarten.  He goes three mornings a week and I work those three mornings at the school which knocks a lot of money off their tuition.  I come home and make lunch for the three of us because I am homeschooling Tori again this year for Grade 10.  Then, after Hunter lays down for a nap, I clean, do dishes, bake, cook, do laundry, and help Tori.  If I'm lucky, I might be able to get a game in with her.  After picking Belle up from school, I do errands or make doctor and chiropractor appointments.  All three kids and I have had a lot of appointments and tests lately.  Mondays are our homeschooling day so all three kids are home.  Belle goes in to the academy to score her work sometime in the afternoon but at least, we get to sleep in!    Thursdays, Tori goes to Jamie's for her tutoring.  And Hunter's friend, Emmit, comes home with us to be babysat for the afternoon.  Fridays, Tori spends her day with a homeschooling co-op that the moms have to be involved in.  Yet another commitment.     The week nights are pretty full as well.  Monday nights, I attend a ladies Bible study at my church.  We are doing Beth Moore's "Daniel".  It's very good but there is homework five days a week with that.  Tuesday, Tori has Bible study with her youth group.  Wednesday, Belle has youth group, and Tori goes on Friday night.  If I'm lucky, I might get a mommy's night out but it depends.     The weekends are full of activities with the kids and getting stuff done around the house....if I'm lucky.      Oh, did I mention I have two kids taking five different medications for various things three times a day?!  I think I need a personal assistant!  Any volunteers???     When I write it all down, it doesn't seem like my life should be such a whirlwind of activity.  So, then, why is it that I'm not able to sit down the whole day until I fall into bed at 9:00 or 10:00 at night?!?  Somebody pray for this poor girl, would you?!?
