Dusting off my Flybaby badge...

OK, I'm not behind, I'm just jumping in where I am, right?

I pulled out my long-neglected and never-habituated routines this weekend, revised them to fit my current life (new full-time teaching job after 6 years at home/writing), and I'm jumping back in!

One thing that struck me about my domestic struggles recently is that doing housework makes me feel so very lonely. I think this is why the house goes absolutely to pieces when DH travels (as he is doing now.) So one of my goals is to connect with community as part of my homemaking -- and even though I was involved here only briefly more than a year ago, I remembered it as a warm and welcoming place, and so I'm back. Hopefully to stay!

Here's my list for tonight. I teach 2 days a week this semester and so have alternating daily routines written up.

Check calendar for tomorrow
Transfer/sync work
Pack work bag
Walk dog
Prep DS's backpack
Lay out clothes for tomorrow
Shiny sink
Start a load of laundry
Breakfast prep
Floss & brush teeth
Mouthguard in
Alarm set? (6:30 a.m.)
Into bed by 10 p.m.
Lights out by 11 p.m.

Anyone want to join me with your routines list?
