The good, the bad, the ugly

The Good:
Two weeks of school down, everyone is happy and loving it
Cole started the pre-comp swim team, Mondays, Wednesday 6-7 and Saturdays 8-10:30
Tenley played with the other Tenley in our ward
Madison has meshed right in with a great group of girls
Tenley's teacher sent home a super organized bound book with info for the year (gotta love a fellow organizer)
Cole and Maddy started piano, love hearing the tinkling of the piano keys
Carpooling is working out fantastically
My new weekly cleaning/errand/meal planning board is up an running again
Burning through many of the Newbery books
Tenley has conquered her fear of the elastics she has to wear with her braces
Scriptures every night with the family
Everyone reading their own 3 pages a day to finish the entire Book of Mormon in January

The Bad:
Waking up early every day
Fighting with Tenley for nearly a week over her elastics (the fight is over now)
Realizing what a true taxi-mom is
Missing late nights and sleep ins
The hurry, hurry, hurry of the afternoons to get homework, piano, chores, etc... done before dinner
Mailbox broken, no mail for a week


The Ugly:
Hobo spider running across our floor, Mr. Bug Hunter was here yesterday spraying
Countless braces elastics all over my house, floors, counters (Cole & Tenley are both wearing them now)
The garage
The storage room
