I woke up this morning feeling very vague and almost depressed. Preschool students will not be waiting for me this morning and I don’t need to take my kids to school. It’s been raining almost nonstop, and a lake is growing in my front yard (I’ll post a picture on Instagram). I just watched as the teen from down the street splashed through a huge puddle. She was on her way to work at the park district at the other end of the street, and I felt jealous that she had somewhere to be!
Always part of my morning routine–COFFEE!
Don’t get me wrong, I am looking forward to having some free time to work on some projects and I’ll settle into a new routine…I think. I’ll write all about our new routines on Friday. What about you? Do you have a morning routine? A summer routine? A retirement routine? Or are you spontaneous and throw routines out the window? Share your routine or lack of routine with us!

I still have two more weeks before my girls are out full time for the summer. But still I am definitely looking forward to a more relaxed schedule once this happens and like you do love my coffee in the am as well 😉
I don’t know what I’d do without my cup of coffee! 😉
I know that feeling so well, Ginny! I really do need a routine and a ‘plan’ for the day, or I tend to fizzle with exhaustion and droop with depression. It’s weird, because I long for the long lazy days… but when they come? I get itchy and disappointed at what I thought I would love.
My routine is about swim team practice early every morning for my daughter and camp for my son… I run back and forth a total of five times before 9:30am. Then I have some time to blog/visit with a friend/do housework… if the drop offs were successful! My sister just left, so I’m squeezing in a few minutes for blogging!!
That’s about all the schedule we have-because every day brings new events and activities, which is a good thing- but I get stressed with the unpredictability in some ways too. GAH! It’s a tricky thing…
So glad you can relate; it’s nice to have someone who understands! We have swim team practice too, but it’s in the evening. I get very stressed out about unpredictable things, too, and it’s been raining a lot so swim team has been cancelled 3 times already.
Too much rain here, too. It’s making me grumpy. I’m trying to get our summer routine figured out as well. I always look forward to the end of school and the start of a looser schedule, but for some reason it’s hard to get it into place this year. The boys have some scheduled lessons and camps, but not a lot. I think it’s just going to be a “schedule it one week at a time” kind of summer.
It’s been raining a lot here, too! I wish it would stop. One week at a time sounds like a good plan!
I woke up with that feeling. Depressed a bit. Vague. Uninspired. We still have school in session for over a week but I already feel a bit restless. It’s cold and rainy and the central air is broken so I don’t even mind the cold and rainy! Usually I would.
It’s humid and rainy here, so I’m glad our A/C is working! The rain has been ongoing, but at least in between storms the sun has been shining. That has helped me from getting too depressed!
Ooh Ooh! I’ll do my daily routine here in Rome! Fun!
Yes, please do! 🙂
We’ve had a lot of rain here too and I’m beginning to wonder what type of summer we will have. I find summers difficult too and by the time I find my summer routine summer is usually almost over. I read a good inspirational quote on FB this morning, it went something like this: Even when you don’t feel like it, get up, dress up and show up. This got me going this morning. Have a good day!
