I spent some time this afternoon inputting events into the online scheduling program I use. I don’t do Google calendar and sync everybody’s and blah blah blah. I am the calendar keeper. If I don’t know about it, it isn’t going to happen.<\/p>\n
So I use a program (Cozi) that also has a great app and is shareable. But anyhoo, I was going over the twins’ school calendar and adding my coming to-do’s, doctor’s appointments, etc., and I have to say\u2026there was a lot of stuff between now and the first part of November. Yikes!<\/p>\n
Now. To be fair, we don’t do much outside activity. No classes or programs or such. Most of my additions had to do with remembering things for school (like fundraisers or picture re-take day, because\u00a0Alex missed the first round for sickness). But I can’t even imagine having each kid in an activity or two, or even the same activities. I have friends who have at least something nearly every night of the week. Not me. I just don’t like to see my calendar filled up to FULL.<\/p>\n
I suppose we could do more. Maybe we even should<\/em> do more. But I figure, as the kids get older, the more is going to come whether I want it to or not. So keeping some margin as the norm now will, I hope, keep us from overwhelmed at some later point. We shall see.<\/p>\n What does your calendar look like? Do you like busy or do you prefer empty evenings?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I spent some time this afternoon inputting events into the online scheduling program I use.
