Ah.....The Weekend

All week we wait for the weekend to start and then it goes by so quickly that it is over before we know it and then we are waiting for the weekend again.  How am I really enjoying the moment when first thing Monday morning I am looking for the weekend that start again?   We don't really have much of a routine to our week as I am not very good with doing the same thing all the time.  I wanted to allow things to happen and they came and allow the kids to be in the moment, however, this is not working.  We many days don't get dressed and hang around the house playing and creating.  I of course do most of the creating while they do most of the playing.

I have tried in the past to create a routine but nothing seem to work for us.  I always felt that I was struggling to keep it going and that kids struggled along with me.  So how was things helping?  I am now starting to re-think things especially since Lily is getting older and more adaptable.

I am going to try and focus on the rhythm of our day and see if there is already a routine and I am not seeing it.   Stepping back and seeing things that may already be there.  I am really looking forward to the change that is already starting to emerge in me as well as those around me.

One Small Change Update:
Using the car less has not been as difficult as I may have thought.  We walk to get groceries and walking to get Sam from school is working out well.  That being said the Winter weather here has not been that cold. (it is raining out right now!)  I will be really testing it a really cold front sets in.  I am getting together our change for February.  Stay tuned!

I have also been knitting like crazy here after Christmas.  I am hoping to post pictures of the finished products this week!
