Finding the Groove (not yet)

I feel like I'm carrying a plate of spaghetti, and life came up and smacked the bottom. There are noodles flying everywhere!

This new preschool schedule for Miss Peach is kicking my a**!

I plunk the kiddos in the stroller, we hustle about 20 min. to school, drop her off...then I head out to play with The Little Man.

Little Man and I come home, I beg him to eat something other then "oh's" for lunchies, then I bribe him into nap time (yes, I bribe...I'm not proud, anything I can do to get kiddos to nap is a win in my book)

The way it's been going, right about the time The Little Man gets down, I have to wake him up to head back out on the march to pick Miss Peach up.

Press repeat Mon-Friday, and you have my schedule. It's been really hard to find the groove, ya know?


Oh, congrats to BurghBaby! You win the Prima Princessa Nutcracker DVD! Yay!!!

  2. When it comes to nap time, I will offer almost any bribe. I'm not that proud of it, but I'm not that ashamed either!

    Sorry your new schedule is like messy spaghetti. Things are hectic around here too.

    This morning, I settled my little one down for a morning nap while the big guy was at school. I paused to consider how to spend my free time. Then, I happened to check my planner and realized the little one had a check-up scheduled for that morning. So, ten minutes into his nap, I had to wake him to pack up and go. Felt sorry for him and for myself!

    Hang in there!

  6. That's the reason that I can't get my 4 year old to take naps anymore. By the time I get him down school let's out for the 7 year old and it's back up again. I feel your pain!

  8. I hear you! I'm still trying to find my groove and I have zero kids at home during the school day. It's been two years now. I think my groove went to find a more exciting family to live with.

  15. Might I recommend asking for MORNING kindergarten? I swear that afternoon school is horrible. I have never found it to work for my family.

  16. This is a wretched time of life. No ones schedules synch and it's just chaos. The only thing that solves it is time.
