Out of Routine

I locked my kids and I out of the house again. The second time this month. Sometimes I think I am losing my mind. Other times I realize I am a mom with three young ones on my brain. And I have a sinus infection with a slight fever to boot. 😉

Earlier this week I had to write a check for the money tree for a baby shower because I almost forgot and I didn’t have time to run to the bank or the store before the shower began.

Having said that at least twice if not more I had to write a check as a present for my children’s friends. I need to schedule better. Get a better routine, but I feel reluctant. If I make a routine and can’t keep it will I beat myself up? I have in the past.

I have a calendar and I use it, but I don’t always look at it. Bottom line is that this summer my kids and I are all going to need a routine. Not a set schedule, but a routine that doesn’t make us all batty and keeps us sane. A routine that allows for friends and interruptions and time for me to write. One that includes household chores and keep our school skills.

¹² Teach us to number our days,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom. (Psalm 90:12, New International Version)

What does your routine look like? Are you able to keep at least a handle on cleaning, kids schedules, activities, and things you need to do? I can’t wait to hear about your routines.
