I feel like a broken record and that all I talk about on here is how busy we are, but that's our life right now. I am frantically trying to manage the schedules of three overscheduled children, all while trying to work full time and take care of all the normal life stuff. Merrick had 4 baseball games last week and he will have 4 this coming week. CC has track practice, volleyball, horses, and her first track meet. Elsie starts softball and has two practices. I'm pretty sure there are not enough hours in the day for all that. I guess I'll report back next week if we somehow pulled it all off.
In the meantime, in all the comings and goings from the house, driving kids here and there, we have been on tulip watch. We have a couple of tulips in a planter out in front of our house. In the 4 years we have lived here, we have never seen them bloom. Every year, seemingly hours before they will bloom, the tops get eaten by deer. So this year, each time we come and go from the house, we check the tulips. Are they still there? Did they bloom? Did the deer eat them?
Guess what? This year, one bloomed and it is beautiful. Maybe it was all the coming and going. Maybe the deer never had a chance because we were always pulling in or out of the driveway. Maybe our crazy, overscheduled lives saved the tulip....maybe.
