Do you ever have one of those weeks, you know that ones that are so full that you hardly have time to sit and recover from your day? I am having one of those weeks. And do not get me wrong, I am loving it. You all just read that last line and went, “huh??”
I am not saying that I would like every week to be like this one, but I would like to have a balance. Either I have nothing going on or way too much going on. And I miss being busy every day so that the days that aren’t busy become a treat and something to look forward to.
Aside from school everyday, which I will be walking J to and from school starting next week as Hubby is finished his school and heads back to the office. That I am not looking forward to, at least not until the weather warms up again. Anyhow, I was saying. Aside from school every morning, I only have one afternoon activity planned for J each week and that is gymnastics. I tried for skating, but we are on a waiting list. And because a lot of his friends are also in activities it only leaves us one other day to have playdates with them. The other days sometimes just slip by without a lot going on. So, this week turned into one of those weeks where I accidentally scheduled something everyday after school. But, it has turned out great! I feel like I am not a couch potato (although I miss my computer time) and J is interacting with friends so it is adventurous for him too. Now I just need to find a way to fill in one or two days next week to keep the flow and all will be well.

I prefer my “not busy” weeks, as has been the case for me this week. But, last week and next week sound like the week you have had – very busy for me. It would be nice to find a balance.
Thanks for your support and I do consider you a friend and have missed seeing you lately and was so glad we reconnected recently!! I realize you were the one that came over to me recently and I appreciate that. I hope you also know that I will support you and look forward to spending more time together. Take care and I’ll see you soon. Kellan
I absolutely find that DOING THINGS makes the days with kids go by faster. Keep scheduling!
A balance would be nice…I like my quiet weeks better, but the busy weeks seem to go by so fast, and I do love hearing ll that laughter when my boys are playing with friends.

I wish I was a couch poto more. when I am not busy I’m usually (wait! i’m ALWAYS busy! sigh)
I found that too when Kamden was a baby. I needed to keep Jack busy with lots of activities, it was good for me and good for him.
Hope you can work it out for future weeks!
Keeping kids busy is great, especially as they get older and cry “I’m bored”. Liam doesn’t have as many lessons at the moment as he used to when he was younger (I ran around lugging baby with us, but it was easier when she was in a carrier and didn’t have attitude yet!). Now he squeezes in a lot of impromptu playdates if he doesn’t have too much homeowork.
Good luck with finding the balance. I had a couch potato couple of hours yesterday and they were totally guilt-free!
This week busy has been good for me too. I feel like I am actually getting places, acomplishing things…it feels good!
Sounds like you have way more energy than I do though….I would totally need a nap!
Hey Amy. I know what you mean about those good busy weeks! I’ll take them over the frantic busy any day.
I’ve tagged you for the seven things meme over at my blog. Hope you have time to participate!

I’m definitely ready for things to slow down… at least a little bit!
