September is only 8 days in and I feel like my head is already spinning. I’ve taken many of the quiet times this week (during nap time which is actually TOTALLY quiet since the older two are now off in school) to just sit and veg out and enjoy the silence. But that ends next week as I start teaching again.
Here’s what has happened in September so far:
- Visit to South Dakota for Patsy and Earl’s Wedding
- School started on Tuesday
- True to form, I used my 2nd older-kid-free-day to rent a carpet cleaner and clean every carpet in the house. 🙂 It was a bit much to try and do in one day, but the carpets are so nice and clean now!
- Chloe’s Birthday on Thursday
- Picture day for both kids on Thursday as well
- Entrance interviews for new students on Thursday and Friday
- Piano tuner coming tomorrow
When I write it all out, it really doesn’t seem as chaotic as it felt in my head… but such is life. A simple thing like “cleaned carpets” sounds little but in reality is a really huge task. Oh, well. We have the weekend to rejuvenate and get ready for next week!
No, actually it does sound like a lot, particularly the cleaning of all the carpets. Your house is huge, so I can’t imagine how you got them all done in one day. I was imagining you starting lessons this week, though, so I’m glad I have that straight now. Have fun next week with all your new and returning students!
Ditto what your mom said!
But clean carpets under the feet and for the toes to dig into…oh, such a sweet feeling.
