I'm not one of those
moms that celebrate when
their kids go back to school.
I love having my kids
home with me and mourn
the return to
alarm clocks, lunches,
homework, practice schedules
and carpools.
If I was more disciplined
I'd actually
home school my kids so
our schedules would be
more free form.
But I don't have the personality
for that and my kids
don't have the personalities to
stay home with me all day.
(Which is a nice way of saying we'd kill each other!)
They're much too social for that.
They need their peeps.
(And I need a quiet house every now and then!)
So in between sourcing
new products for my shops,
hitting the road for
the bigger pieces,
supervising homework,
volunteering,
driving carpool,
and working my "real" jobs
things are going to get
even crazier around here!
Whew, I need a few more
weeks of summer...

I can completely relate to those mixed emotions that come with the start of a new school year. While many parents celebrate having the house to themselves again, there’s something special about having your kids home, even with all the noise and chaos they bring. It sounds like you've found a healthy balance—recognizing that your children thrive on social interaction and school activities while also appreciating the occasional quiet moment for yourself. With sourcing products, traveling for larger finds, managing homework, volunteering, carpooling, and juggling your other jobs, your schedule already sounds incredibly full. As the school year ramps up, life may get even busier, but it also brings new routines, opportunities, and memories that make all the hustle worthwhile.
