Don’t you just love the promise of structure and organization the first day of school holds? Since the boys started school, I have always loved the feeling of reeling the chaos of our summer back in and being in charge of a more tightly run ship. (Now, ask me in June and I will tell you that I love to abandon the structure and to be free from all restraints imposed by schedules. Fickle, I tell ya.)
It has been a long time since chaos has taken the back seat at our house. I really haven’t had the energy or the inertia to control the chaos. Believe me, the garage, closets and basement would wholeheartedly agree. Obviously there have been other things occupying my mind and my time. And if I wanted to be honest here, I just haven’t cared about the mess.
But, now the school year has started and I don’t want to miss out again. Last year is such a blur. I find myself in a bit of a panic because Quinn is already a Sophomore and Jake in 8th grade. It is going too fast. Getting organized and back in control of my surroundings will help me to be more present in everything. Clearing the cobwebs in my head as well as my home…
It feels good to be on the path towards accomplishing things again. Another step in finding my way towards my Happily Ever After.
