P365 - 2017 -Day 256 - finding time

These days it's all about finding time.  I am constantly wondering what I did with all of my extra time many moons ago before kids..... I wonder if I could have some of that time back as a cushion right now?  We are constantly going a million miles an hour and in 50 directions so time spent all together or even just together with My Wonderful Husband is at a premium these days.  So it's about finding time, squeezing it all in and staying sane while we are at it.  To that end, My Wonderful Husband met me after work and before my faculty meeting and The Boy's game so we could have a quick cup of coffee together.

P365 - 2017 - Day 255 - these freshmen

These freshmen are some of the hardest working kids I know (along with their 7th grade brother who was at his second practice of the night when I took this).  They go from school to practice or games and home to homework.  They do it with (mostly) no complaints and they rock it too.  I am so proud of them.

P365 - 2017 - Day 254 - not thrilled

Someone is not thrilled about everyone being back to our crazy work and school schedules  - even with My Wonderful Husband home on sabbatical he isn't getting the attention he seeks.  We are all constantly running around and all The Pooch wants is to be able to open that cabinet on his own.

P365 - 2017 - Day 253 - all the help I can get

P365 - 2017 - Day 253 - all the help I can get

Finding quiet in a house of 5 people is next to impossible.  Trying to concentrate as I read three chapters for my graduate class requires some help - ear buds and some relaxing, brain boosting music.  I will take all the help I can get.

What do you do as a mom of twins when both kids are playing in their high school games on back to back fields?  You stand in between them of course!  Go RAMS!

P365 - 2017 - Day 251 - balance

P365 - 2017 - Day 251- balance

The first week of school is done and I think this photo is going to sum up my life for awhile....  my goal is to find and keep my balance.  Home, family, work, school and don't forget running.  I hope I can do it all.
