My life is bi-polar. Not me...my life. I have periods of complete and utter boredom followed by days and weeks of complete pandamonium. I was realizing this on Saturday as the chaos(quarterly primary activity, back to school shopping, sharing time lesson, activity day girls activities, ballet lessons, dentist appointments, etc.)that has been my life as of late, was coming to a close. Goodness, was I looking forward to the nothing that was to come. And even though the beginning of my down time came in the form of an illness, you won't find me complaining. Boredom definitely has it's own perks. I can finish reading that book I started but didn't finish, get to all that laundry I have been neglecting, and watch all those movies that come right to my door(Hooray for Netflix). The longer the boredom, or chaos(depending on which part of the cycle I'm in at the moment) goes on, I find myself anxiously awaiting its end and the beginning of its polar opposite. It reminds me of the line in that once popular song by Semisonic "every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." I'm not entirely sure this is normal but hey, who knows what normal is anyway? I'm starting to think I may not be as normal as I once thought. Oh well, I guess what I'm trying to say is...even though it might not be normal and I may not be normal...I love my bi-poloar life.

It's so fun to see what you guys are up to! Your kids are so cute. As a mom I can totally relate to "bi-polar" life. You say it well! I too love being busy, and at the same time long for the slow moments.
Amen sister! That's my life in a nutshell. Last semester I had 16 hour days and went on four hours of sleep. Now I have virtually nothing to do, so I get to read books and catch up on movies and tv shows. And by September starts, I go back to the craziness. Love you guys!
I bet you have mixed excitement with the summer ending, on top of everything else! Perhaps with school starting soon there will be a little more "normalcy" in your life. Or maybe it just causes more chaos. I'm sure I'll find out one of these years. Make notes on how to deal with it all so you can share them with me.
