Mom came home!

I’m slogging through major jet lag about returning from China… But Jordan doesn’t seem to mind. She was really excited to hang out with me since I spent nine days out of the country. She had a chance to visit her grandparents’ house for a week. She had a blast and she seems to really like the new dress I brought back.

Jordan’s preschool runs all year round but her brother starts back up in school next week. So I’ve let our life schedule get a bit out of wack – the kids have stayed up late. I’ve taken them to the pool at all hours. We’ve stayed at the gym a little late. Basically bed times have been at least an hour later than usual. So now I’m on a quest to put an end to that this week. So far, so good. But I realized that a part of our late life is because I’ve been dragging the kids to the gym for a 6:30 class I love. Getting out of class at 7:30 already puts them late for the going-to-bed process. So I’m on the hunt to change my schedule so I can be healthy AND keep the kids on some kind of schedule.

The big challenge – I’m going to have to change my sleep schedule. I’m a night owl… but with my work schedule starting earlier in the morning… I am going to need to exercise more in the morning than the night. (**sob**) Wish me luck!
