TGIF

We have had several changes in our schedule this past week that many moms across the board are also talking about - school starting back. Chapel is now a 1st grader and Eli is a most proud Pre-K student. Getting up at 6:00 a.m. is one adjustment that most families have to make when school starts back but the Barkers have also had another HUGE impact on our schedule. Brett took a new job with the Charleston School of Law as the Assistant Dean of Students for Evening Administration which means he now works from 12 noon to 9 p.m. at night. That's right, 9 p.m. Which leaves me to do the cooking (which Brett previously did), the baths, the homework and the bedtime all alone. Okay, so it is not that bad, but it is an adjustment. One of the best parts of the schedule is that Brett has Friday's off. All day. Which is excellent for both of us. So this Friday, after a long week of adjusting to all of these new schedules, we let the kids stay up late and have a Phineas and Ferb party (a favorite cartoon) complete with large bottled cokes and popcorn. TGIF! Everyone loves a party.....
