September is here and we have so much to look forward to: the start of co-op, multiple extra curricular activities, a 5K, and two birthdays. As I turned the page in my calendar and started filling things in, I couldn’t help but remember the days when my monthly pages were practically blank. When someone would ask when we were free, I’d laugh and say, “Pick a day, any day!” Oh, how times have (quickly!) changed. Take heart, mamas with a bunch of little ones who feel like your days stretch to eternity. Full schedules will be in your future before you know it, hah!
INTENTIONS FOR THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER
- wrap birthday gifts for TJ and Sophie
- attach glow-in-the-dark stars on the little boys’ room ceiling
- organize the toys in their room too (bring in the bookshelf?)
- buy new sneakers for M and S
- replace dryer balls
- go through the kids’ fall clothes and see what needs to be tossed/purchased
- sign up for Turkey Trot 10K in November
- beat my personal best 5K time (I’m running a race with my oldest in two weeks!)
- organize my closet
- STOP putting books on hold at the library (books have been coming off the hold list every week for two months now! I need a break)
