OK Laurie... I have been waiting for your return...

Happy Halloween, everyone!

 

I have a meeting with one of DS's teachers tomorrow....why do I get so nervous?  I still feel like I am the student!!    It's nothing bad, she wanted to go over his grades and some helpful "strategies" that she is working on with him.

That's cute....and at least she went away!!!  LOL!!!

I didn't vote because I am between pack rat and controlled chaos. Our downstairs looks lived in, but in MY room..it appears to be TOTAL chaos, but I know where almost everything is.
I am very particular when it comes to me and DH's laundry, so that's always done up, hung up or folded and put away..but not with everyone elses.

I think it just depends on the room in the house

I feel overwhelmed BUT I don't do all of the running around like you do.
My son has band, my youngest has volleyball (but I only take her/go on Saturdays)
My 2 teens are in 1 ACT (which is like drama) so I take them a couple of mornigs a week to school (they have to be there by 6:30, but thats only for another week or so...

I don't think I could handle all of the running around...

too young, but my almost 10 yo always talks about the girls and boys in class that are "going out"
My son had a "girlfriend" last school year. She was in town for something and she said he was a cutie and then THEY both told everyone that they were bf/gf. He never saw her after that but they emailed for about a month.
UGH!!!!

So, I want everyone to confess....what are you really like?

I think we are pretty neat but we have our piles of papers in the kitchen and you can always find kids' toys and books in the livingroom.   

Is it just me or does 11 seem a little young to be doing the "boyfriend/girlfriend" thing?  DS has had a couple crushes but hasn't had a girlfriend yet.  But there are a couple of "couples" in the 6th grade already. 

Right now, our schedule is a little nuts!  This is the first year that we've had several activities going on at the same time and I have to say, I don't know how alot of you do it!

DD's have dance 3 days a week.
DS has homework club after school 4 days a week.
DS's has hockey practice Wednesday after DD's dance class.
Every weekend we have two hockey games and two football games (DD's cheer at football).
DS just made County Honors Band (YAY!) and that will be one night a week (6-8:30) for the next four weeks.

It doesn't sound like much now that I wrote it down, but I feel like I am constantly shuffling kids around.  DH does alot too or he goes with us to most of the stuff (except dance!).

Does anyone else feel overwhelmed with activities?

What do your kids participate in?
