That time of the year

It's the time of the year when our family activities kick into overtime. Nicklas has started soccer and Seeger has started tennis.

This isn't a problem in itself but now that the baseball season has started, our lives will be a blur of shuttling across town between the house, three baseball parks, and every fast food restaurant in between. Nicklas is in the Pinto league, Seeger is in Shetland, and the Polack is coaching the high school freshmen team. Once the freshmen season ends, he tackles being commissioner of the Shetland league. And because we're crazy, we've signed Seeger up for swimming lessons.

School and work will seem like a vacation for awhile.

(And before you all shake your head about the overscheduling of our youth today, please understand that everything only overlaps for two or three weeks and then becomes much more manageable.)

(And then send prayers that I don't have a nervous breakdown while coordinating schedules.)

(Or gain 10 lbs due to lack of a dinner with any sort of nutritional value.)
