Welcome Back Routine
Ahhh, it has returned. The routine. School is back in session and the daily routine has begun again.
Wake up, feed children, clothe children, make lunches, pack backpacks, write lunch notes, load up car with child, enter car line, dump child at brick building, enter traffic, be late to work. Work, eat lunch, work, work, enter traffic, return home, feed children, bathe children, place children in bed, veg, bedtime.
Repeat.
So with school back in session that must mean fall is fast upon us. Hmm. High in the 90′s this weekend. But football is on TV once again. Oh right, we don’t have fall here in our part of the world. We have summer and not-summer. It’s a real season if you live here. I’m not complaining though, I like not having Winter. Winter is very cold for a very long time. Winter is wet, everything always seems wet, or at least damp. I like the games of winter, but I’ll pass on the life of winter. As a child I lived with winter and enjoyed it. As an adult, I don’t think I’d have the same opinion. So I’ll enjoy all your pictures of winter, especially after I finish a round of golf in December and January.
My kids were all sorts of cute on the first day of school. I got a picture of them sure, but I saw another picture from 2 weeks ago I love much more. The photo credit belongs to the wife. Enjoy.

What a cutie pie picture!!!
This is the first year that I haven’t worked while my kids were in school (I’m starting back to school myself at the end of this month, well, in a week actually!) and I tell you, my routine has been all out of whack! I’m used to rush, rush, rush in the mornings only to rush myself to work. Now it’s rush, rush, rush but I get to come back home and wait for them. My days don’t seem as fun, but I’m thankful for the chance to go back to school and I’m sure when I start up again, my days will be full again and life will be back to the chaos that I guess I have to have in my life? Who knows? This is all a first for me.
PS- Did you know that you have become my arch-nemesis? ::insert evil laugh::

Yep, that sounds like The Routine pretty much.
And YES – Winter is wet. Wet and dirty. In a bad way.

@Miss Britt, always disappointing when its wet and dirty in a bad way. Especially if you don’t get those socks in the washer. Peee Yeww
