the new normal

September, I'm getting a feel for how things are going to be now. A constant swirl of helping with homework, packing backpacks, and running to the next activity. Volunteering for this, that and the other thing. And very recently, I've added a little part time marketing gig on the side (thanks Sharon!). Weekends are packed, the calendar is full. I have to remind myself to stop, breath and just enjoy the little quiet moments. They happen about once a day, around 8 pm.
