Why is it whenever I try to set goals to be a better blogger or keep my house more tidy I feel like I fail? It seems when I think of my life lately it feels like I am full of good intentions but I always fall short. I suppose I shouldn't be so hard on myself but dang, I wish I had more energy at the end of each day to accomplish a ton of things I can't get to while watching 16 kids.
Kids are back in school
Daycare is in full swing which includes me dropping off at 6 schools daily (multiple times a day mind you) I feel like a bus driver!
Laundry is beginning to pile up(although we finally taught the kids to sort their clothes by colors)
Ian is back in Soccer which means every Saturday there is a game
Marlee has started Orchestra and chose to play the Cello
Marlee also started Choir but the jury is still out - she isn't terribly thrilled with Choir
Doug is back in school teaching (I miss him being home with me like he is in the summer)
PTA is keeping me very busy~I do fundraising and I do the yearbook (I love it though)
The Missionaries have been frequenting our house lately for dinner-they are sweet sisters
The list doesn't even seem that overwhelming on paper but trust me-16 kids in my house on a daily basis makes all of it seem overwhelming at times. I love my daycare kiddo's but I wouldn't be honest if I didn't say I look forward to the day when I don't have to do it anymore and I can focus on just being Marlee and Ian's Mom!
Here's to crossing my fingers that I get the first day of school photos posted today! :)

I think we all feel that way some days... and months, and years.... LOL! You're doing great!!! You know I was the Editor of our Yearbook when I was in High School, if you ever need help with it, let me know, Tons of fun!!!
Talk more later!!!
I don't know how you do it. Our Nursery has 15 kids or so and I can barely keep it together for 2 hours once a week! You are amazing Charmayne.
We're hoping soccer and soon the violin will be in our futures.
Good Luck!
Glad to see that things are all happening again for the Bowling fsmily. Holiday novelty doesn't last long does it before reality sets right back in? It seems like double the chores - but the break WAS WORTH IT !! Lovely to have you come and stay - we'd better do it again some time
