Chaos,...And also Tim

Autumn is freaking me out.
Football practice has begun for M'
School starts Monday.
I don't have time for this!

Yesterday, I took out all of my curriculum and had a heart-to-heart with my schedule. The only possible conclusion is that I don't have time for children. How can I be troubled with adult responsibilities, when I am completely consumed with the business of falling in love?

In other news....

Today, I have 4 extra children in my home, and the noise level is deafening. I sent them outside so that the entire neighborhood can benefit from the chaos. I know my neighbors are thanking me.
There is not enough coffee on the planet to jump-start my morning. I woke at 4 am and couldn't get back to sleep. The upside is that I was able to get lots of quiet time before the melee descended. I read from the Song of Solomon, since it's compatible with my current mindset.

The whole issue of scheduling and home school really is a pressing issue. Besides educating my kids, there's work, and normal household maintenance, as well as athletics, and bible studies, and youth group. There are friendships, and now romance. It's bound to be a little bit too busy for my liking.
I do so much better with a calm life.
It's time to kiss a calm life goodbye.
Fortunatley, I am not averse to kissing.

Kelly, you are sounding so totally, absolutely goofy! It's been a long time coming, and I'm very happy for you. You have my blessing, girl!
Love you,

Are your feet all deformed like Barbie's? Because that might turn Tim off.

Also, life is overrated. Why not just sink into fantasy land and never come back?
