Routines

For those of you who know me, it is not at all a surprise that I like routines. I like the comfort it brings to have a little bit of an idea of what is coming next. I like that it helps me get through my day when it is difficult. And I like that it helps me with the kids, they seem to thrive on routines too.

Now, I am not rigid in my routines. I will change and adapt them as I need to. But usually I see it coming.

Grace has decided that she is changing a few things. She now gets up and hour and a half earlier. And she is not happy the entire time I am getting ready. Occasionally, she even has crawled into the shower with me.

Now, I do not mind change, but this change has not been pleasant. It seems I needed that extra sleep and the little bit of time to focus on myself to start the day.

Oh well, pretty soon the new routine will be normal and I will hardly remember this. Right? That is going to happen?!?
