School Has Begun!!!

Thus my lack of recent postings. It has been a bit crazy in the Striegle home as we are all adjusting to a new schedule that includes school and many extra-curricular activities. Olivia started Kindergarten last Wednesday and absolutely loves it. She is ready to go each morning with a great big smile!!! This makes for a happy mom. Caden started second grade and has been enjoying the time with his friends again. He has come home for four nights now without homework (and Olivia has had homework), so he is a happy camper. We have been blessed with two wonderful teachers for our kids and can't wait to see how the grow and learn this year.

On another note, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with this schedule. Although I know it is coming every August, football really throws me for a loop. I am truly a single mom until November. I finish work (three days a week), pick up kids, feed them, drive them to soccer (three times a week), do homework, mow the lawn, do the cleaning, make sure we all have clean clothes, etc... This is an adjustment, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love football and Dennis is so passionate about the sport that I have no desire to end this part of our lives. All to say, I long for a quiet evening with my husband, just as Traci mentioned in her blog. It will come, just maybe not until November!!!
