Where did February Go?

I just looked at the calendar, and I think I lost two weeks somewhere. Ever happen to you? I thought the winter months were the months when my family slowed down a bit, caught up on home projects and enjoyed a little free time. I was wrong.

I think life got crazy just a few days after New Year's. Has that ever happened to you? I'm pretty sure I can find a better way to balance our family life, work and school (not to mention extracurricular activities) but I haven't stumbled on it yet. Any advice from you busy parents out there -- with busy tweens? How to make it all happen, without overloading the calendar?
