It's about that time again! So bittersweet when Summer turns to Fall. We wait all year for the warm weather, for our kids to be home and for a chance to start knocking things off our "to do" list. But all good things must come to an end. August rolls around and the kids start fighting more, you are ready for some personal space and that warm weather you prayed so desperately for is starting to feel just a little bit too hot right about now! So it's back to school...
Since this is my daughter's first year in preschool, we are just starting this whole experience. I am starting to realize that this is also time to get back to "mommy school." Don't we all just let things go a little bit more in the summer? I know I do. The dishes aren't done? Eh, I'd rather take a walk. No plans for dinner? No problem - we'll just grab something on our way to the park tonight. And when you have older kids, I'm guessing you also have your full-time summer job as a professional driver and cheerleader that trumps all other items on your list. Schedules just seem to bend easier in the summer. But when we bend too much, we break.
So now it's time to get your school supplies together, mom. I'm hoping to get my schedule back together, get a good devotional started, organize my meal plans better, and do a little Fall cleaning so my house is in tip-top shape.
What are you doing to get ready for this Fall?
