Desperately Seeking Routine

I've survived my second week back to work. Whew. It hasn't been easy. It's a very busy time at work. I feel like I'm running non-stop there. Then there's the after work rush. What used to take me 25 minutes now takes me at least an hour. I live 15 minutes from where I work. But picking up two kids at two different daycares with two different bags o'junk to carry. Blech.

But we're slowly falling into a routine. Adam slept better this week... which means I slept better. Alex is just doing great with adjusting to big brother-dom. We're all adjusting. Monday nights mean swimming for Alex. And that means at least 25 minutes of running. YES! Hoping to figure out at least one or two more days when I can run. If winter ever ends, I might try getting up to run outside in the morning. (Yes, I heard the audible gasp from every person who KNOWS that I am not a morning person.) But I miss running. It helps me clear my head.

Dinnertime hasn't been too crazy yet. I have yet to dive into the frozen dinners that my mom and Craig's mom left for us right after I had Adam. I will probably use one next week. I'm also planning to take advantage of one of my favorite work perks -- take and bake pizza. Seriously, you can go to our cafeteria, place an order for a made-to-order take and bake pizza, and pick it up after work. Good pizza reasonable price. Doesn't get much easier!

I'm really glad it's the weekend. I want to finish my bookclub book. Get some cleaning up done around here. Maybe crochet a little bit. Weekends are the best. More time to just enjoy being together. To just breathe.
