We have just completed our second week of school, and my jury is still out on whether this whole education thing is really working for me.
Kidding. The kids absolutely love it, which is already worth the early days. We're still working out those new routines though, and that's where the transition still has some kinks. There are some new things that are great, but there are some that might drive me to gouge out someone's eyes with a number 2 pencil.
New Routine I Like: Going to the gym in the mornings with Jessie. For one hour, she loves to play with some other precocious 2 year olds and I get to scowl at their thinner, younger mothers on the treadmill.
New Routine I Hate: Jessie waking up at three a.m. asking for popcorn and Yo Gabba Gabba. I dream that Luno is chasing me on Jack Black's talking motorcycle.
NRIL: Having the kids sit down and do their homework at the kitchen table while I cook dinner.
NRIH: The homework part of the above equation.
NRIL: Watching Amy stand and walk a little taller everyday.
NRIH: The fact that Stevie is taller, growing 2 inches last year.
NRIL: Forward momentum on the novel. I see light.
NRIH: Putting some other reading and writing on the back burner for a while until I finish.
NRIL: Picking them up in the afternoon.
NRIH: Dropping them off in the morning.
Once I find the balance between all of those activities, I should be all set.
I figure that should be around April.

I am with you in loving/hating routines. But my biggest problem with routines as we end our 2nd week of school here is finding one that works to get us out the freakin door on time!!!
