'Craving' life to be 'normal' again.....

...not that life is ever really normal when there are young children in the house. However I am looking forward to having a bit more of a routine and order then what we have had for the last month and a half. Between an interstate holiday, a camping holiday, three sets of family on my side visiting from interstate and a death in the family on my husbands side resulting in an impromptu family reunion, to say we have been living life day to day is an understatement. A couple of weeks ago I was noticing how our crazy schedule was affecting the children (sleep, behaviour, mood). Yesterday I noticed how it was affecting me. It is funny how when life is very normal with the calendar empty and lots of daily routine (even though I see how smooth everything seems to flow) I 'need' a break from routine and to get out. Yet in this midst of an extended break form routine when I never seem to be home I crave we crave the routine and the order and the empty calendar (at least for long enough to catch our breath and then we can find a happy middle ground).
