back to reality ....

although we got back from hawaii a week ago - we have still not returned to normal life.

i thought that going to hawaii - and the time change going there was going to be harder - but coming back has absolutely killed us.

*we have yet to make a meal at home - we have either had take out or eaten out since last saturday.

*we have only been to the Y one time in the past 2 and a half weeks!!!

*bedtime has been nonexistant - for stacey and i it's been somewhere between 12 and 2 every night! on thursday, stacey FINALLY came to bed at 5 am! YIKES!

*the boys have actually been "sleeping in" (keep in mind sleeping in for them is usually something like 8:30) drew slept until 11:15 one morning!!!

*stacey's leaving for work around 10 or 10:30 was normal this week.

we've enjoyed taking it easy. but, unfortunately this week, things HAVE to change. we don't have a choice.

drew has school.
ben has school.
stacey needs to work some normal hours.
and i need to get alex back into a routine so that he starts sleeping again.

our day starts at 8 am tomorrow - and i figure if i start preparing now that maybe we can make that happen.

Sounds like the kind of life that would be fun to live for a while!
I hope that getting your family back onto a schedule works out well. Those types of things are always challenging. We have had a bit of experience with time changes, but not nearly the amounts that you experienced in Hawaii.

Reality suck doesn't it. The flip side is that routines do make life much easier. Good luck.
