Today was the first day back in the routine. I have to say I was looking forward to it and it did not disappoint. I don't know about your household, but mine kinda thrives on some sort of routine. We have been sorely lacking in the routine area for the past two weeks and thank goodness it is back.
Now, don't get crazy, my Christmas decorations are still up - they will eventually come down, maybe this week while my husband is home, and my laundry is still full to overflowing and the floors still need moping, but I have high hopes for my house. I am hopeful that the next week will bring some much needed organization and de-clutterization to my home. I am hoping the routine of early bedtime for my little Strawberry Shortcake, will give me some much needed rest and the energy to tackle the tough spots of this home.
Oh - and did I mention that I have declared 2009 as the Year of Re-Decoration. Big plans are forming in my mind, plans for paint, a new curtain or two, a few furniture re-dos and some new lighting fixtures. Been living here almost 10 years - definitely time to update!
My day was crazy, being back at work, getting child back at school and then grocery shopping and cooking dinner. In the middle of it all, I caught up on emails, chatted with friends, feed and watered the dogs, cleaned up the backyard, got hubby off to work, got child bathed and put to bed and now I am enjoying a few minutes of free time before the chores start up again.
I hope your day back from holidaying was a good one. Holidays are great, but I am glad they are over. Give me routine and monotony any day!
