Oh regular life, I have missed you, but you are hard

It is just never easy to get back into the swing of things after a holiday or vacation. Today is no exception.

There has been yelling, there has been punishments, there has been headaches, there has been anything other than peace.

I think both the kids and I woke up knowing that Bob was going back to work. Everyone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

They are now in their beds for nap time and I am finally enjoying a cup of coffee. I am hoping our afternoon goes 100 percent better. Not sure all of us will survive if it isn't.

We have been nonstop all holiday. They haven't had a regular day at home in 2 weeks and I can tell.

I am working to get us back on routine and my wonderful 2-year-old is not enjoying it.

But who would? Life with dad around is a lot more fun. A day home with mom is lots of rules.

We are working on it. I know when we have a rough morning that it is just that, ONE rough morning. I know that my kids will turn it around and I will be refreshed and the rest of the day will be fine. To be honest before nap time, they were already starting to listen and do what they are told.

They are my cutie pies and I love being around them, but toddler monsters need to stay at bay.

I know once we are in the flow of things we will all get along a ton better.

So I will sit and enjoy my cup of coffee. Sit and relax. Relax and refresh. Refresh and breath.

For I will [fully] satisfy the weary soul, and I will replenish every languishing and sorrowful person. Jeremiah 31: 25
