Getting back on schedule

I think everyone will agree when I say that getting back on a school schedule really sucks. I love summer, especially the sleeping in part-yup kids you read that right moms like sleeping in too! The passed few weeks have been really hard, I'm trying to get the kids back on schedule and ready for school to start but I'm really bad about waking up at six am! Honestly if school started just one hour later I'd be fine, but six is way too early for me apparently. Today however, we have doctors appointments, Brooke needs her Omnipod changed, and the dog needed his medicine, so I had a lot to do and not much time to do. That little bit of extra encouragement got me up, but the kids were still super hard to get up. I'm hoping by next Monday I can get them up easily and not have to fight nine kids every morning! They are starting to get very excited about school starting so the possibility of them waking up is very likely. I still can't believe in little over a week I will have two first graders, four kindergartners, a three year old preschooler, and two in the toddler class at our preschool! I am so excited for them and glad they are hitting milestones, but I am also very sad that they're getting old because that means I am too! I'm hoping we make a lot of memories this next week and that they have a lot to talk about on the first day of school when someone asks how awesome their summer was! Now, to take nine kids to the dentist-wish me luck!
