So yesterday was day 4 of the new school year and it was a bit easier. Last wed. was a killer it started off with much excitement and anticipation and was fine til it was time for mommy to leave Maxton and go home that's when Maxton began to cry huge crocodile tears and beg me not to leave him which broke my heart into a million pieces the crying went on for what I am told was 1 hour or until they took him out for recess early to calm him down after which he was fine! The whole morning I cried I am not going to lie knowing my baby was upset and wanted me made me a basket case. I was thrilled when the clock hit 11a.m. so I could go pick him up and hug him! Cavin had a wonderful day loves his teacher and I think she is going to be Awesome!! Mason was thrilled as well when I picked him up at 3 he said his teacher is nice and he has a good friend in his class! Carter of course my go with the flow kid was happy, we have had his teacher before and she is AMAZING so I know we will have a good year for him! Mallory couldn't stop talking about her teacher and kept saying "and she believes this and this" it was like carrying on a adult conversation! Imagine that?? I see so much of me in her it's kinda scary! We are all adjusting to the early mornings well ok the kids better than mom and dad but we are getting there! The keeping up with the activities, homework, cooking/eating supper and going to bed on time is tricky... Carter is loving football he is the QB. Dad and him practice daily but I think they both enjoy it!! I can't wait for his first game!!! Mallory starts band today and she is over the moon about it!! She is playing the Trombone... I know a little strange but that's my daughter!! She is also going to start playing volleyball soon and is very excited about it! Volleyball wasn't my deal but maybe it will hers she certainly has the height for it!! This morning after all the bigs left t, I sat down in the chair and looked around at the mess left from breakfast and packing lunch and stuff not picked up before bedtime, I listened to the quiet (smalls still sleeping) and I almost cried because in that moment I felt so overwhelmed by all the things that needed to be done and wondered how in the heck will I ever get it done?? Think I will call Merry Maids :)!!!!

Soleil Moon Frye(aka Punky Brewster) all grown up now with kids of her own calls it "happy chaos," in which she wrote a book called this. I thought that was so cool.GJ
