Life's New Routine

Today marks 2 weeks since our 3rd princess arrived. I am shocked at how quickly time flies by and how totally unorganized I am all over again! It doesn't take much to get us off track, so when you add some 3 am feedings into the mix things go downhill pretty fast.

Life has kind of given us a routine all its own. Our new routine looks something like this:
  • Alarm goes off around 6 am.
  • I get up, feed and change K3, get her settled in her bouncy chair, start coffee, and read my devotional.
  • Get the other 4 kids up at 7 am
  • Get breakfast and morning chores.
  • Start school by 8:30.
  • Work all morning on school. During this time K3 sleeps, eats, and messes up her diaper.
  • Lunch by 12. Hopefully leftovers, although I find it hard to make a large enough quantity to have many leftovers these days.
  • After lunch run errands, finish up school and projects, free time for the kids, laundry and cleaning for me.
  • Dinner around 5:30 pm.
  • After dinner any church or sports activities.
  • Settled down with kids in bed by 10 pm.

Always busy=never bored!!!!

It's just like riding a bike right? I pray it settles down soon.
