Isn't that what Dory the fish said in Finding Nemo?
"Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming..."
You see, I have started working three days a week. Yay! Really, I could not have found a better situation--I work during school hours, and the business is family owned, so they have told me that if the kids are ever sick, or the weather is bad, etc., not to worry about missing work. So I'm excited about working, about learning new things, and about getting paid.
Last year, I was amazed at how quickly a full school day could pass, and I was even more amazed at how little I could accomplish in that time. So I know that working is really going to help me be more productive on the home front. But right now, I'm trying to get ahead a little bit (thus the menu planning and meal preparation). This week, the extracurricular activities are starting, and we seem to be at the dentist's office with frightening regularity (as we begin this long road to a mystical and expensive place called Orthodontia), so rather than freak out about all that needs to be done in a day, I'm gonna "just keep swimming, just keep swimming..."

wow! so glad you're loving your new employment...sounds like a great set up for sure. I need to do some meal planning too...I've got my girls helping me out a couple days a week with meals and I couldn't be more thrilled.
welcome to the wonderful world of orthodontia! I say that after finding out Spencer lost his new retainers at school today!!! I know you're a great swimmer, so enjoy the journey!!
Congratulations on the job! As much as I moan about going to work some days, it does save my sanity and being around rational adults helped me get through the irrational teen years! And ouch -- good luck with the orthodontia. Two of my three needed braces. Kathe had two phases. It definitely hurts the old pocketbook. (You could buy a lot of yarn with that money!)
Congrats!! Sounds like the perfect position. I started two days a week and believe me even that much time away will change up your routine. I am better organized with meal planning/straigtening up too LOL Keep swimming my friends!!
