The kiddos have been back in school for a week, maybe even two, and so far you are killing it mom wise. You have got your crap together, and all systems are running smooth like butt-ah! You are a night before packing, clothes laying out, on time, dinner planning, lunch prepping, hot breakfast cooking, reading 20 minutes before bed every night SCHOOL MOM NINJA right now. You are up before dawn, skipping through the house like Mary Poppins on Red Bull. What you are now achieving before 7 a.m. would make a West Point cadet shiver. You have set up homework stations, backpack stations, and sports equipment stations. If you are homeschooling, your curriculum calendar is a color coded, expertly sequentialized, portfolio freaking masterpiece of educational pedagogy perfection. Rejoice moms! It is early fall and our organizational badass cups runneth over! And then it happens. Somewhere, somehow, and sometime soon it is all gonna go to pot. Total crap. Our once highly functioning school systems will collapse quicker than a sleep derived new mom after two glasses of wine. What derails your awesomeness? For me, it is after school sports and activities. My boys enjoy them, but with 4 kids it is exhausting. It leads to rushed evenings, which leads to no school stuff prepping, which leads to crappy mornings...and then we are toast.
