summer vacation has ended and 'back-to-school' chaos has taken my brain by storm. it's fantastic to have the 2 arch enemies in school instead of fighting all day. but the drive is definitely a hassle, and the transition into fall is always a tough one for me. even though i have homeschool schedules planned through the end of september and have everyone starting off on the right foot, i still feel like the sky is falling. supplies aren't unpacked or organized. everyone needs a piece of me and individualized time is so hard to come by. football season has started and is crimping into my crossfit time. 3 kids now in seminary and even though i'm not doing the driving, i still feel like i'm not sleeping. the plan was to take a passport-worthy trip with doc macgyver in the fall. but now i'm wondering who in their right mind would handle the kids for us for a week with all that driving?
at any rate, i know it will all pass. it happens to me every fall and i seem to get through it every year. but every year it feels like i've never done it before.
so in honor of my stress, here's some dr. seuss:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The alarm can ring.
The birds can peep.
My bed is warm.
My pillow's deep.
Today's the day I'm going to sleep.
...................................................
I've never been so sleepy
since I can't remember when
You can take away my breakfast.
Give my egg back to the hen.
Nobody's going to get me up,
no matter what he does.
Today's the day for
WOOZY-SNOOZY
ZIZZ-ZIZZ
ZIZZ
ZAZZ
ZUZZ.
........................................
I don't choose to be up walking.
I don't choose to be up talking.
The only thing I'm choosing
is to lie here woozy-snoozing.
So won't you kindly go away.
I am NOT going to get up today!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
