WHEW! I feel like I've just flown through this week. I haven't done any of my usual meme's. I did post a photo scavenger hunt below this post, but everything else kind of went out the window. I may not have commented much either, but I did visit. I know what you all are doing, I'm just unusually quiet. Maybe I'm in shock (lol). I was under the impression that my son was going to school, but I had no idea that it was going to become my full time job. Or at least it seems that way right now. I also went to a Kindergarten meeting this morning where they had us sign up for more volunteer work. I'm not sure how I'm going to keep track of everything. I just hope I don't start forgetting stuff.
Last night I went to a meeting about joining the local Women's League. I really thought this would be something I would be interested in. They do a lot of charity work and it's really about "women" not "mom's". Some of the ladies don't even have children (gasp!) so the activities are women based not child based. It would have been something for ME and I would be doing something that I could feel good about too. But alas, after today's "volunteer" sign up at school, and my volunteering to be room mom for the Little Man, and being the aid for PSR and working the lunch room I just don't think I can give the Women's League the time and effort that it deserves. Maybe I can revisit this endeavor in a year or two. I think the kids need me more right now.
I also think I'll probably be blogging less. At least until we get into some kind of routine. It's hard to find the time to get on here and write something. Anything. But every time I say that, I seem to blog more so we'll see.
And potty perfection still eludes us.
That's my update. I'm sure I have more to say, but brain is numb and I can't think of it right now.

What a week you've had, Janeen! You must be exhausted. Hopefully things will settle down after a few weeks. If not, at least after this year the boys will both be used to things a it more.
That's too bad about not being able to do the Women's League. But you do have to be careful about spreading yourself too thin.
Hope you can get some down time this weekend!

wow they sure do take a lot out of you to volunteer for all that stuff at the school!
The Women's League sounds like it would have been a really nice thing to join - especially since it would have been for YOU, sorry that won't work out now!
I'm getting a glimpse through you of having 2 in school. Yikes. LOL I was going to volunteer for Room Mom, but her teacher said she doesn 't really do that. More like a sign up sheet for what to bring to the few parties they have. And part of me wanted to do it (besides the whole being in volved in her school thing) to have some "control" over food or at least be "in the know". I'll at least BE at every party!
Too bad you can't do the group for you right now. Can you join when things get into a calmer routine?
As I mentioned to you before, I use to volunteer to help the teachers all the time and unfortunately it's always the same moms who get caught being called on over and over again. You're now not only taking care of your child, you're also taking care of a class room full! lol Just remember some days it's ok to say no when asked:-) xox
