Can I repeat this? We need routine. I need it, the kids need it, the husband needs it, and our new dog needs it. We are routine people (and critters).
Next summer, I believe, will have to be more structured! That, or someone is going on a very long vacation (hint: me, me, me)!
We are busy, but not over-committed. The meals are being more intentionally planned (which, can I add, makes a huge difference in the evening stress level). We keep the house more tidy. Even the kids are realizing that routine is 'more better'
I still need to figure out the exercise issue, though, for me. I'm horribly out of shape, and I like to watch the Avengers, and then I feel worse because Black Widow would be able to save her children from attacking aliens, while I would not... Of course, Black Widow doesn't have children, so there might be something to that. Plus, she's ex-Russian, and a spy, and in fabulous shape. The point is, I need to exercise more than I do.
We are also on the up-curve of the whole gluten-free thing (yes, again... hopefully there will be no nervous breakdown this time). It's not that it is SO HARD; it is, however, a drag for someone who loves pancakes and pizza- at IHOP and Pizza Hut, mind you. There is no such thing as eating out gluten free at these establishments. It is what it is, though. I'm learning. I also feel better when I'm eating better (I still can't kick any alien's backside, though, as I am not yet training with the Avengers). I guess we all need to start somewhere:)
