Everyone has a routine. Do you get up at the same time every day? Do you eat lunch at the same places? Maybe it’s the designated days that you do laundry. Whatever your routine is, it’s probably because it’s comfortable. But, how did it become comfortable? And when does it stop being comfortable?
After the long winter break, I’m finding that my everyday “routine” is no longer the same….although it needs to be. (Or I think it needs to be.) While I absolutely enjoyed every moment of being home with my son, I’m finding that our “routine” is not so “routine” anymore. So, while I had the most incredible time off, I’m now paying for it. Getting up in the morning is about impossible, the laundry is piling up, going to the grocery store is now a must….and yes…you guessed it…..dropping my son off at school is now absolutely unbearable. (The whining, fussing and massive leg lock he has on my leg each day has now become “routine.” Note: A crying child locked on to your leg is NOT an attractive look!!)
So now, I must pry off my new leg accessory and refocus in order establish a routine. (Yes, I’m laughing….why? Because as I look at the calendar….Spring Break is right around the corner.) Maybe there is no such thing as routine. :-/
