Happy Wednesday friends!
After a week of the sickies over here (stomach bug in August?) we are up and running again. Oh happy joy.
Today I was thinking about how happy I am that I finally feel like our home, our days and weeks, are falling back into our normal routine.
Cute, right?
I mean, if you have a little person at your house your worst nightmare is a missed nap. Or a late nap. Or an early nap. I have such a love/hate relationship with the word nap.
I love summer, but it can throw a good routine out the window.
And for the stay-at-home mom, routine equals sanity. Am I right? We love knowing what to expect.
What a stigma! It basically infers that a routine person is boring, non-progressive and stuck. And I get it- professionally, too much routine is a yawn. In relationships, yeah, you don't want to get too comfortable or things become stagnant.
But for the life of a toddler?
Can I get an Amen?!
Routine in exercise? A win! In an educational setting? An 'A'!
So I say, routine can be a good thing in the right setting. It creates order and the allusion of control. Which, after all, is exactly what we Type A's need.
Now all I need to do, is incorporate more of that "routine" thing into my weekly workout regimen...
Happy wife happy life, y'all,
Lauren
Amen sister! Ready for it to get dark early again. :) Nap and bedtimes have been so off lately!
