My FIL walks the dog in the morning, they pick our daughter up from daycare, my MIL makes us dinner and cleans up at night. That sort of thing. It's one of the reasons having them for 3-4 weeks at a time is tolerable. If I had to wait on them (as I do with my own parents) it would make me insane.OMDGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17937425894428802591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219236556397495909.post-35572530356305024872014-05-04T17:00:36.473-04:002014-05-04T17:00:36.473-04:00I love routines, now more than ever.

When at home, doing our routine, knowing what I have to do most every moment of every day, that is reassuring and nice. At least for now, when I am still tired. I hope it changes soon(ish).

Even if it's not necessarily a good thing, sometimes I just need to shake things up. I'm probably not in the majority on that. <br /><br />Having said that, when things are shaken up, I appreciate my old routine even more when I go back to it. <br /><br />I'm sorry you have so much going on in the next few weeks. I hope you can steal some time to fall back into parts of your routine, so you don't feel too frazzled.Esperanzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12375150088333673843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219236556397495909.post-64944464439436608772014-05-02T09:59:14.082-04:002014-05-02T09:59:14.082-04:00Oh yeah, we are all such creatures of habit here, ...Oh yeah, we are all such creatures of habit here, so travel and visits can really mess things up. We've just taken to becoming those crazy people who stick to the same bedtime for the younger one, regardless of what else is happening. Fortunately the 4yo is more resilient now and can stay up late with fewer ill effects (unless it's a school night, in which case, cue teenagery "I am STILL tired" dramatics in the morning). Good luck to you - maybe you can enlist your MIL to help keep you guys on track :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212690454989568626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219236556397495909.post-37017617343966981292014-05-01T20:27:32.073-04:002014-05-01T20:27:32.073-04:00can you create little pockets of routine in the NO...can you create little pockets of routine in the NONroutine? even if you have to be really intentional about them - like a morning run, watching a show with the kids in the AM or evening, a book before bed, or something? i can definitely understand feeling torn about appreciating a break but really missing the familiar rhythms.sarah (SHU)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09785177204149427781noreply@blogger.com
