Unscheduled Havoc

We have been so thoroughly off schedule for all of July!!  We have been eating dinner around 8:30 every night and getting the kids to bed after 10 or 11pm basically since the family reunion ended. We haven't been getting all of our chores done because we are tired and our house is too messy. We have also not gotten reading and such done regularly. We have been spending way too much time on tv and computers as well. And our kids are GRUMPY! So tomorrow, well, actually today, we are back to schedule for chores, and reading, and meals, and playtime and, media time and especially bedtime. I look forward to calming down and cleaning up. It may take a few days and plenty of arguments about media and chores, but we will be sane again.

We have enjoyed our fun. It is just time to end and be strict again.

I'm starting to think the same thing, but I can't really start anything like that yet.

The crazy unstructured days always make me appreciate my tedious schedule.

I remember those moments when raising children. Whenever we did take a vacation it always took a few days to get back to the normal routine.
Blessings to you!
