Almost over, almost beginning

January 4, 2009 · Posted in Life · Comment

Monday is just a few hours away and then it’s back to the grind for most folks, including The Hubster ™ and my sister who return to work and school, respectively. I discovered over Thanksgiving that one of the “disadvantages” of being a SAHM is that there’s not much a difference between a “staycation” (ugh, I hate these newish portmanteaus but this one does work) and a reguar SAHM day other than there are more people at home with you. That being said, I’ll miss having company aside from The Little Empress and Miyuki.

I will say that I am looking forward to getting back to my more recognizable schedule. Sleeping late and then sleeping in has wrecked havoc on TLE’s sleeping and eating schedule which is further complicated by her teething and general fussiness. She’s been waking up more at night lately and is also suffering from seperation anxiety far worse than she ever has before. Hopefully getting back to a more predictable schedule will help her ease back into a better wake and sleep pattern.

I am also looking forward to getting back to my writing. I took a bit of a break from writing during the holidays but have some stuff lined up already that I’m pretty excited about. It will be nice to write… and get paid… again. Tomorrow also starts my new blog schedule which I’ll reveal tomorrow morning. I hope it turns out well!
