It's back to school time! YIPPEE! The schedule of life goes back to "normal" and things become moderately predictable. You settle back into a routine. It's fantastic.
My little Emilia started Kindergarten last week and is in a combined class with 1st graders too. She is absolutely loving school BUT she absolutely is not loving the schedule. Getting up early, long day at school, homework, dinner, bath, bed. . .repeat. She seems so exhausted by 3 PM when she gets home from school.
A schedule is great, especially once you get adjusted to it. But that adjustment period can be rough and distressing. I encourage each of you as we get back into the "swing of things' to put God in your schedule. He will make things go so much smoother.
