Thanks Everyone!
Wow! Thanks to all of you for your encouragement and just for letting me know you have been there and know how I feel. It WAS encouraging to know that we all go through these stages and it is tough having olders and littles together and there aren't always easy answers. It WAS helpful and encouraging. Thank you so much for taking the time to type a message. Our new schedule went somewhat better today. I still think there are things that must go--possibly some school stuff, more than likely some extra other stuff. I need to really start praying specifically for God to show me if something needs to go, and what that might be!

I'm always having to fine tune my schedule. Our church did a time budget thing awhile ago and basically allotted 2 chips of spare time each week. 1 chip is hopefully spent attending church and 1 chip is spent serving somewhere - might be at church, might be doing something for a kid's sports activity, volunteering somewhere in the community, etc. 1 chip = 1 hour. I'm WAY over on my chips and I only do worship team.. nothing else at church. I make it work though because it's always what I count as fun time for me.. now I'd like some fun scrapbooking time as well, but for now..... I have to combine and am thankful that I LOVE to play on the worship team and that counting it as serving and fun for me kills to birds with one chip (LOL)! I won't say that I don't feel sorry for myself when I can attend this women's thing or that other thing, but I just can't... not right now with as far away as we live and as far apart as my kids are in age.
We're always hoping to move closer to town.. maybe one of these days we'll find a place closer.. it's over 1 1/2 round trip for us....
Well.... hoping you find a workable solution!
I will still keep you in my prayers. Even though I am not homeschooling the children anymore I am still revamping my own schedule. Just when I think I have it perfect something has to change. Such is life ;-)
