New Routine

We're getting into our new routine around here. It goes something like this...

7 am - Wake up, eat breakfast, get everyone ready for school or work.
8:45 am - Nick, Xander, and I leave for school. We're going to walk until it is ridiculously cold.
9 am - Drop off Xander at preschool and Nick at his school (the two are a half-block apart).
9:15 am -Get home and try to write for two hours
11:15 am - Walk back to pick up Xander. Play when we get home.
12 pm - Lunch for Xander and me (Allison usually joins us). Play after lunch.
1 pm - Xander naps, I do chores around the house and maybe write some more. We play when he wakes up.
3:20 pm - Xander and I leave to pick up Nick. (More walking!)
4:30 pm - Get home, make supper, kids play.
5:30 pm - Eat
7:30 pm - start baths/showers, read with the kids after this
8:30 pm - kids to bed

The one way trip to the school is about .7 miles according to Google maps. Three round trips is 4.2 miles, so I'm getting my walking in. (Xander usually rides in his stroller most of the way.)

I've been able to get a lot of writing in and most days I exceed my word count goals by quite a bit. One reason I haven't been posting much is that I'm kind of written out by the end of the day. I'm sure as I adjust to the new routine I'll find more to say.

It could also be that I don't have a whole lot of interesting stuff going on (blogging fodder?) as my routine indicates. The very fact that I'm writing about my routine probably speaks volumes about how little I have going on.

Still, it's a good, comfortable routine. The boys seem very happy and I am, too.

And, yes, I met my writing goal for today.
