Bonus: I think that one of the benefits for me now that school has started is that I have a good part of my evenings free. (Of course this would be excluding the nights that I have Young Women's and have done the Genealogy Classes.)
School beginning means that the kids need their sleep. The evenings are darker helping to convince them that it is bedtime. As much as I love my children I like the sound of my house quiet and that I can choose what I want to do and what I may want to watch on tv. My kids are also more cheerful in the mornings and that has been good too. A couple of those evenings have included playing our Wii but only a couple.
Bonus: A schedule always seems to help things run smoothly. Because of school we are required to plan ahead and schedule activities. This helps both the kids and me. In truth with the recent calling at church I have too many calendars running around and I need to combine them so I stop forgetting things but it will happen and then at least when we are busy we will know the "who", "what", "where", "why" and "when" and then we can take time to figure out the "how" to get there.
And another bonus: I have told myself that starting today- I am claiming some of these free afternoons for studying for my Independent Study Class.

Good for you! It's so nice when everyone's cheerful and you have a bit more spare time for yourself. Good luck with your class!
Brent and I keep commenting on how we can't believe how early it is after we put the girls to bed, have watched whatever shows we've DVRed, and relaxed for awhile. It always seems so late, and then we realize it's only 9:00 or so! We're all getting more rest and it's good for us!
