Going crazy? Or already there...

 After today's very productive Science Olympiad practice I realized several things:   1. I've got a wonderful team of kids with fantastic parents.  2.  We are all (kids and parents) tired and burned out a bit from being so very busy.  3.  The choice of the tournament date this year is insane.   4.  All the kids and parents are very nervous.   5.  (And most importantly) My ability to cope with my life is not so good this week.   By the time I was practicing my form in Taekwondo tonight, I was nearly in tears and got very frustrated with myself.  How can I relax when I go nonstop? What can I drop to make life easier?  What do I value the least?   This year it has been making sure my younger kids are getting what they need academically.  I feel I have done them a huge disservice.  I was talking with some friends today about homeschooling our new high school kids this coming year.  I realized I have no idea what to do with the rest of my kids as we embark on this new phase of my eldest child's life.  I need to find some balance in our lives.  We need some sort of schedule this summer that will work for us.  I feel as if I have to get past 5/26 to start thinking again about how to homeschool my kids.   Burn out doesn't begin to describe how I have felt this entire school year.  And I see it in all of my other homeschool mom friends as well.  I think it is time the Street Home for Wayward Children developed a time management program...  hmm...  Time to toss around some ideas.
