Over scheduled!!!

I read a quote tonight that stated "you can do anything, you just can't do everything".  Oy, so true!  My kids and I are over scheduled.  Anyone who knows me, I'm always running around like a chicken with my head cut off but I fear I am spawning a whole new generation of chickens.


I realized this on Friday night.  I was taking Harm to two back to back gym classes.  We were talking how tomorrow is going to be his last soccer game.  That is when he informed me that there would only be a short break and than soccer will be starting again along with t-ball.  I tried to explain to him that since he is in gymnastics he is not going to be doing spring soccer.  He corrected me.  He told me his coach has decided to do both sports and they will schedule around his gym lessons.


I feel bad pushing him to choose.  I still haven't decided if I will hold firm on his either soccer or t-ball because he really wants to do all three.   Still we have Rachel in 4 hours of dance and gym.  Harm has 3 hours of gym.  Callum has 1 hour of gym.  Soccer was taking up 2 practices and one game per week.  So when the dust settled this fall we have really only had one family night, on Tuesday.  My kids may not be tired but I sure am :(
