✏️ writer’s scoop: swing of things
It's somehow now the third week of school, and are we getting into the swing of things?
Dare I say there's some resemblance to a new routine, albeit wake ups with a pr***en is still a struggle. Not sure that will change ;)
But, the curve ball of jumping back into the classroom WITH my kids is settling in, and my plans for the week are looking like I somewhat have it together??
That I might actually be able to have the best of both worlds, and not feel like I'm dropping a pin or two along the way.
That teaching & planning time can stay at school.
That deep writing & magazine days can remain undisturbed.
That sunrise walks and horse feeds can carry on most mornings.
That Pilates classes can sprinkle in between coffee shop meetings and calls.
That after school pickups can still be dedicated to catching up about the day.
That down time can be truly down.
All I know is that we're rolling with it for now. Will report back. ;)
How's your back to school routine rolling along??
*full disclosure: I did spend allll day Sunday deep cleaning my house that I've been neglecting, so let's not get too carried away that I have it all together ;)
