Looking forward to routine!

It's been a great summer, and I am not wishing it away, but I am looking forward to some sort of routine!  Every day here is different, what time I get up, what I am doing, if we are travelling, going to numerous soccer games, you get the picture.  Anyone that doesn't have a regular full time job knows what I am talking about.  Everyday holds something new and different.  It's not always a good thing.

The house doesn't get cleaned, the laundry is done all the time, but never put away.  The kids have no idea what to do with all the time they have, especially when they have no soccer.

I am not complaining, but I am having a hard time getting my Sh*t together!  Oh wait, that's not new for me is it?  But for me to function without routine, even harder!

The kids are on the countdown to back to school, and I am on the countdown to some me time!  A little bit of shopping, some house cleaning, getting rid of more junk around the house, painting my bedroom....that one has been waiting over a year!

I love having something to look forward to!  I love summer, I love being with the kids.  We always have great adventures, but there is always something that is happening next.  I choose to "look forward" to it, than see the end of summer.  Even little things, checking on my plants in the morning, seeing how well my clematis has grown, checking the mouse traps to see if I have any new "dead friends".  (None for a few days now, and there are no signs of any living mouse activity!)

Today I look forward to maybe getting the laundry put away.  Tomorrow a hike in Canmore.  I feel good, I feel like everything is going well.  I have so many things to look forward to.  Although I didn't get my summer trip to Europe, I look forward to planning the next trip, whatever that may be!
