Let The Games Begin

Literally.

Last week I suddenly started working 4 days a week instead of 2 . . . and by suddenly I mean my boss called on Tuesday and said “how many hours are you available to work for us?” I said “All I can give you is 30 . . . Tues-Fri 8:00-3:30. I have to keep Mondays clear for volunteer stuff I’m already committed to.” He said “OK. Done. Can you start this week?”

Um . . . sure. So I did.

This week, the kids have their first full week of school AND they both start soccer. Dude practices on Wednesdays and Fridays from 5:00-6:00 and Princess practices on Thursdays from 6:00-7:00.

Add to that the Back to School Night on Wednesday that the kids are not welcome at, the last-minute Boy Scout Pack meeting on Thursday evening, and a Hubby who left for work for a week and you have a pretty full week staring back atchya!

I guess if we’re all going to start our new stuff, it might as well all start at once

*For the record . . . I’m not complaining. I’m way excited about my increased hours at work . . . last week was so much less stressful knowing I had 4 days to get all my bazillion hours worth of stuff done instead of just 2. And I’m excited for the kids to get going with soccer . . . they both are needing an outlet for their extra energy and a way to decompress after school.
