Three Days Down; 177 to Go!

Trying to get back in routine is tricky business.  I have to get used to my new school schedule and have to get used to the discipline of the getting up and helping get the children ready to roll again.  Ugh!  I survived this week, but it isn't a good gauge of how things will be because I only had students three days. 

When I picked up the children from Grandma Judy's this afternoon, I took them to Burger King for fast food, then got Ryan ready for soccer practice.  Full uniform...and didn't he feel special!  He told me he was a "world champion".  Meg met us at the field.  She got to see her little guy in action for the first time.  He was a star!  Although Ryan is only four, he is a head taller than everyone else on the team.  His skinny little legs are longer than everyone else's...and although he isn't a particularly coordinated runner, he was in there pitching in everything "coach" asked him to do.  They had a scrimmage with another team.  Ry was the only one who scored a goal!  Yay!  His sister was sitting in bleachers apart from the rest of us, cheering "Go #5!"  This is his opportunity to shine without being in the shadow of his big sister. 

The children have been delivered to Muncie.  There is much to be done around here.  I'm tired already!
