Getting back into the routine

The summer is over and with that comes the return of home schooling schedules, swim team, soccer practices, youth group, dance classes and many other events. Starting a new routine that is packed with events everyday is proving to be quite difficult for me. I will manage it, I am not worried that I wont. I just know that it will take a week or so of the new routines to adjust. 

So far, the kids have been great about getting back in the schooling, granted this is only the 2nd day. 

As for me, I have a couple of new things going on. First, and most frustrating, the Religious Studies Institute classes that I have taken the last 2 years were cancelled for year 3 classes this academic year. This is a bummer because I had planned on completing this program this year. I am also coordinating the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults)program at church, which is going to be quite fulfilling, bringing others to Jesus and the fullness of our Catholic roots. The existing team is fantastic and have told me that I have their full support during my leadership of the program. Of Course our parish Priest is really in charge, but day to day I will hold the reigns on that program.

I have also started working part time at a local health/fitness establishment. This was born out of my participation this summer as a summer camp counselor. So, we'll see how this new job effects my schedule.
