Soccer mom to the rescue!

Today was quiet and uneventful, until the kids started coming home from school. Picked 4 up at the elementary school, drove 1 to a friends house, back home to get Crystal ready 4 dance...dropped another off at a friends house on my way to deliver Crystal to dance then raced home to get Darrian ready for soccer practice...Matthew went with me to Darrys practice, halfway through I drove to pick up Nathan from his friends house then raced to pick Gabriel up from his friends house...(his friend had invited a female friend over as well, Gabe and I had a 'discussion' about that on our way back to the soccer field)...

...made me feel all nostalgic about the last term of Michael and Darrians kindergarten year...4 school aged kids in 2 different schools. In the morning I drove Gabriel and Darrian to their school, and Nathan to his...then went to pick Darrian up from a.m. kindergarten...fed kids in the car on our way to drop Michael at the other school for p.m. kindergarten. Matthew and Crystal and I spent so much time in the car...it was like a second home...then the school day ended with picking Gabe up from one school in the middle of town, and jetting to the north end of town to meet Nathan and Michaels bus. We had more happy meals that term than should be allowed by law...

...then we moved and the kids were all in the same school at the same time and it was only blocks away...even in the worst weather I 'let' them walk...and crazy was no longer a state-of-being!..so when did I forget about calm and let them take lessons and play sports and set myself to breaking speed records in my big white battle wagon?
