Adapting and Reconstructing

I should have written this post at 5:30 this morning when it was fresh on my mind. LOL

So yes, I did survive my first few days as a mom with no hubby at home :) Actually it was kinda funny. I think I was so excited the first day I over did it. I cleaned like crazy, I took the kids for a picnic in the park and to play at the playground. I started a new project for the living room... It was a great day! Dinner was homemade and on the table when daddy came home. Everything went perfect! Then I woke up the next day puking and so sore I could barely get out of bed!. Note to self- I have got plenty of time to do these things- take it slower! ROFL

So that was my Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday I was still exhausted but I got a little cleaning done, and went to go get the new pictures I needed of hair bows for my friend. Came home and got surprised by Jammy coming home early. It was the end of the training. :)

So anyways, today marked the official beginning to our new schedules. SCHEDULES. That is what brings this posting to my mind. Do any other of you moms feel like your whole world revolves around schedules? It's kind've annoying! I have always been good about keeping my kids on schedules. From the day they are born. Bed at 8- quiet no playing. Nap time and lunch and dinner etc. All the same. Routines. Stability. It's always been easy for me. Until now! I swear since James got fired back in April the kids are just so unruly with their schedules. Playing till after 10 in their rooms. Not napping for 2 hours after I put them down. Ughh, I have so much work to do in this area now. Fixing, I should say.
I know this is going to take some time. I just hope it will get better! I have to wake the kids up every morning @ 5:30 to take James to the car pool or I have no car. I was hoping they would just lay with me in bed and fall back asleep after, but no luck. We all snuggled in but then they turned into Mexican jumping beans! That's ok though. I am thinking- We will take him in the morning. I will lay them both down in my bed, they know they can't get up until the sun does :) So I will go work out in th living room. Then we can have breakfast together and get our day going. And then HOPEFULLY with some luck, they will be so exhausted by lunch that I can feed them and they will take naps right away! Hah! I know- easier said then done. But that's my goal!

I am glad James doesn't have the 12 hour shifts! He got Mon- Fri 7-3. So it works better for us. Too bad it's over an hour away.

So that's my ranting for Thursday!!! haa haa. If you read this whole post- WOW! LOL
You must be bored! JK!

I could have just put:
Schedules and Routines- Moms worst nightmare!
