I am a big fan of all or nothing and well we are up to our eyeballs in *all*. It starts innocently enough but then I seem unable to stop myself.
So right now we have (I am thinking by day here) piano, gym, dance, art, gym, a group play-date, beavers, co-op, more gym, swimming lessons (starting up again this week) and are about to add in french class and 2 hours of chess each week. Oh, and I am supposed to find some cheap dance or gymnastics through the city for Miss Iz. This is on top of play time with friends and neighbours, people popping in for a cup of tea, errands, chores, stuff I do for the condo board (which wants me to consider becoming president in the coming term!) or ------schoolwork!
I added something here and another thing there and voila! Chaos!
It sounds worse than it feels like. Some days are crazier than others. Many of these activities come in smaller chunks, like 6-10 week sessions and then break for a bit. I do better when I am busy. I need some sort of schedule to keep me moving along. I don't feel overwhelmed because I know that these are things we chose to take on and we can just as easily choose to drop out.
Still, for the first time in my life I am looking forward to summer vacation :-)

Wow, have you cloned yourself to manage all this?
It does sound busy when you list it all like that. At least you don't have to add the school-run to each day. That frees up lots of time.
Are the kids action-oriented like you?
Izzy is but Alex is more like his dad. I thrive like this- as long as I get some down time.
